Great historical film with lessons on insurgencies and terrorism that are as current as ever. The cinematography was excellent and gave it a documentary-like feel. This is probably not a general-interest film but if you like war history this is a must.
Really Good

Reviews I have read claim this movie is slanted toward the FLN, and it should be as it was based on Saadi Yacef's book, who was prominent in the FLN.
However, I found myself disliking the tactics of the FLN and rooting for the French paratroopers to wipe them out as there is no backstory establishing France's dominating and mistreatment of the Algerian Muslims. Yes, we all know colonialism is bad, but when the FLN starts killing civilians I can only think of them as terrorists.
A Record Breaker!!!

This film is the only movie in Academy Award history to be nominated for an Oscar two separate years ('67 and '69). It is the greatest of its kind. This film was banned in France in 1965 and was screened specially by the U.S. Pentagon in 2003 to study terrorist tendencies. If you didn't know better you'd swear you were watching documentary or newsreel footage. This film is amazing!!!
