I love this victorian era films with battles between british colonial forces and the native people. Are there any more of these?
Films I've seen/own:
Foure feathers (2002 and 1940 version, want the 1977 version to)
Zulu dawn
Zulu
Khartoum
Charge of the light brigade (1939 version and 1968 version)
There's this excerpt from 'Young Winston':

There's always Gunga Din.

55 Days at Peking

Set in the 1900 Boxer rebellion, multi-national alliance vs chinese Boxers.
I'd have always thought the Boer wars would have been fertile ground for film makers. The only one I can think of is Breaker Morant, which is more a film about military injustice than the war itself.
shareThe Lighthorsemen is a good one about British Calvary fighting in WW1 during the Battle of Beersheba. Gets slow at time but the ending is worth the wait.
God has a hard on for marines because we kill everything we see. He plays his game, we play ours.
Careful! The Lighthorsemen is about the Australian Light Horse Regiment - not British.
shareDads Army, when corporal jones is telling the story of taking on the fuzzy wuzzys is great!
shareSorry about that!

And isn't Victorian either.

A good chunk of Young Winston's set during the Boer Wars. There was a BBC miniseries about Cecil Rhodes which touches on it.
And though I doubt it's readily available, there's the Nazi propaganda movie Ohm Kruger.
I'm afraid that you underestimate the number of subjects in which I take an interest!
Clive of India (1935)
The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935)
Drums (1938)
Soldiers Three (1951)
Bengal Brigade (1954)
King of the Khyber Rifles (1953)
Flame Over India aka: The North West Frontier (1959)
I thought P.E.T.A. meant People Eating Tasty Animals
Kim, based on the Kipling novel and set in British India, versions from 1950 and 1984
The Far Pavilions, a TV serial based around the North West Frontier of British India and detailing the fighting in Kabul in 1879 and the Second Afghan War.

Indeed, Khyber passes as a great film; it was high time that the service of the Third Foot and Mouth was recognised by a grateful nation.
