Show us your movies about Africa

Another non hunting but good movie is Clint Eastwoods, INVICTUS. I don't even like sports movies but this one is good and much about Mandela. Morgan Freeman is good, Matt Damon is good also but his attempts at a South African accent is a little sad.

Out of Africa has to be one of the classics. "i once had a farm in africa".......

I dreamed of Africa.....Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger.

Most of the city scenes in Blood diamonds was filmed in Maputo, Mozambique.

He plays Rudolph Van de Kaap in Blood Diamond. I never even recognized him! Great thread.

After "Titanic" I refused to watch any movie Leonardo acted in, he redeemed himself in Blood Diamonds, played his part to perfection.

I guess he is really good in the REVENANT for which he won his first Best Actor Oscar. I have not seen it yet though. Despite his very left politics I like his movies for the most part, but Blood Diamond is my favorite so far. BODY OF LIES is also very good, middle East movie.

I agree. His lefty politics irritates the hell out of me. But he's a great actor. The revenant was pretty good.

I liked in blood diamond how they showcased the 32end battalion

When I was in the military, I was assigned a few 32 battalion soldiers to my platoon, I was more nervous of them than the enemy.

I have this poster, two variations of the movie soundtrack, a movie companion book and a paperback copy of the story the movie is based on, a VHS and a DVD. I guess you could say I am a fan! BTW, the movie is much better than the book. My first safari in 1985 was in the same general area that HATARI was filmed. The Germans in our camp all said it was a Hardy Kruger movie, while we of course said it was a John Wayne movie. I suppose if you are from NY, it was a Red Buttons movie right?

Wow! I think some of us would like to hear some stories. I researched Buffalo battalion a little. Collected some of there Kit. Did thouse guys carry the SA version of the galil. Theres a guy in Tennessee who specializes in building just SADF style rifles. Any old pictures would be awesome

My favorite part is when Leo's character talking with the super hot Jennifer Connelly. There arguing life style politics and he says. " Get over yourself Darling" !!!

They were in full SADF gear and weapons.

I saw a interview somewhere we're he said he hung out in SA for a few months and just hung out with people to get the accent down
