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.

The 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.

Careful! The Lighthorsemen is about the Australian Light Horse Regiment - not British.

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!

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.
