Australian Classic Restoration Movie Co.

Presenting our Cinephile 4K Series

Although many of the titles in this range are available on standard Blu Ray by the major studios, none so far have been released in 4K.

We wanted to do something special for our loyal customers and film fans worldwide, so working with new technology, we produced an exclusive series of outstanding movies in 4k 3840 x 1744 resolution. Most are in Dolby 5.1 audio with beautiful images, perfect whites, deepest blacks and brilliant colours.

However, these classic movies fall just short of full UHD but are extremely popular as no retail 4K versions exist. If you expect a full blown 4K then sorry but that is not possible at the moment, but these releases are far superior to any DVD and better than any standard Blu Ray.

Please note that the amount of memory required to produce these on a Blu Ray disc, prevents us offering a menu but there is a full chapter list.

Depending on the original make up of these movies, we use HDR10 to produce these discs.

Some budget 4k TVs do not accept these formats and therefore we must ask that you carefully check that your TV and 4K player will accept these formats before buying the movies.

Postage on any returns, caused by this issue, will have to be paid by the purchaser  So check your TV First .

Movie Review: Zulu
1964. Directed by Cy Enfield. Starring Stanley Baker, Jack Hawkins and Michael Caine.

During the crusade to colonize Southern Africa in 1879, the tribesman of the AmaZulu warriors defeated a British stronghold of about one thousand two hundred men at the outpost of Isandhlwana. Shortly after, and despite orders not to attack, the Zulus would take on a small British supply garrison with a force of between four and five thousand warriors, against a defending force numbering just one hundred and thirty-nine men in a place known as Rorke’s Drift.

With fierce attacks raging through the night, when dawn came at last, the Zulus drew off taking their wounded with them and leaving at least three hundred and seventy of their dead around the barricades. Eleven of the defending Britsh soldiers were awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest recognition for valour in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces of any rank in any service, and civilians under military command. The number of VCs issued remains the most ever issued in a single action.

Zulu the film is a towering cinematic achievement, starring Stanley Baker (Guns of Navarone), Jack Hawkins (Lawrence of Arabia) and in his first major motion picture, Michael Caine. With some epic battle scenes amidst the incredible scenery, the performances are brillaint, showing the characters’ unyielding heroism and leadership as they fight off wave upon wave of thousands of warriors. The film gives a good overall sequence of events, but according to history, the real persons were not accurately portrayed. The Reverend Witt was not a drunk. He and another Reverend and surgeon, were on lookout for approaching Zulus. Pvt. Hook was shown as a petty thief in the hospital scenes, which contradicts the real facts. Nonetheless, the movie is an outstanding frontier-like classic and reflects one of many battles that history forgets. The fact that 11 Victoria Medals were awarded is historic in itself. The movie theme by John Barry also adds to the atmosphere.
