Top 250
Why isn't this in the Top 250? Its weighted average is high enough amd it has more than the minimum number of required votes.
shareIt needs a LOT more votes and a slightly higher rating to make it on the list.
I've got a foot on the end of my arm
yeah although 7.8 makes it into the top 250...it needs to go through the magical maths formula
this formula brings down movies with less than 10 000 votes and brings up movies with more than 10 000 votes
other films which arent in because of this...

One of my favorite movies of all time. Morant's poetry was a nice touch. When he finally had enough in the court and replied that the prisoner was executed under "Rule 303" I wondered how many other people realized that this was the caliber of his rifle. Top notch stuff.

Morant loses his cool in the above mentioned scene, however, he hasn't completely given up on the case until Colonel Hamilton tells the court that he cannot recollect any orders being given to execute boer prisoners. Morant exclaims 'Your a lier!' or 'Thats a lie!' (I can't remember which off the top of my head) it is in this scene that Morant realises he has been betrayed by the nation he was serving.
Morants biblical referance at the end - Matthew X, 36, ties in with this 'A mans foe shall be they of his own household'.
Being a pagan is it intersting that Morant can quote a chapter, verse and passage from the bible off hand - even the priest has too look it up!
At the time of Morants exclamation of the prisoners being executed under rule 3 0 3, it is interesting to note that Denny does not tell Morant to sit down or calm down. There is a reason to this - and it ties in with the court case being weighted in favor of the prosecution - in that Morant exclaiming this actually damages the defenses case. It shows that Morant can lose his temper quite easily, which could have lead him to rush to judgement (think of the first charge against the men).
Morant knows the passage because his father must've raised him strictly. He does say they read Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress for FUN as a child :o)
This should be in the top 250, but who cares if it's not in some list that has Spiderman and American Beauty in it?
Do The Mussolini! Headkick!
They immediately follow that line with a shot of the side of a rifle with .303 clearly embossed on it, there was a little help.
