I know this is a bit OT, but I hope of interest to SL members. Long ago, I saw this great war film, Waterloo. Since then, it seemingly disappeared - no DVD, and not on any streaming service I was familiar with. Now some enterprising fellow has posted a high quality copy of the entire movie on YouTube: "kH2BZgbbKjI"
As I suspect that most of my friends here are too young to remember it, I thought I would bring it to your attention. It stars Rod Steiger as Napoleon and Christopher Plummer as Wellington. Directed by Sergei Bondarchuk, it also stars thousands of extras from the Soviet Army, including, at the time, the last remaining cavalry brigade in any army. The battle scenes are incredible, especially considering the movie was made before any sort of computer animation.
