80 Hussars (1978)
The film tells the story of a regiment of Hungarian hussars stationed in Poland. The hussars, mostly ordinary men, have heard news of the uprising and wish to return to the homeland to defend the newly independent country. The Empire, on the other hand, is firmly resolved that all Hungarian troops in the imperial army should be kept as far away from the trouble spot as possible, knowing that most soldiers would be loyal to Budapest rather than Vienna.

To me, this movie is perfection.
Just perfect...
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
What can I say. This movie is the best I have seen about the Hungarian revolution in 1848-49. So beautiful, so tragic, and so historically true. I can suggest it to anyone. A movie,being shot in the most exquisite regions of the Carpathians. The story is very thrilling and eventful.Actors are very good.This is a story about courage,patriotism(even if it costs to one's life),endurance,self-sacrifice,revolution against tyranny,the love of freedom. Believe me, if you have the opportunity, view it! And the greatest idea in it: when the last scene is over,there is a 3-4 minute blank black screen...a little time for thinking. And it is necessary.
