Good movie. Mostly True, sort of. At least you could say that "It's based on Actual Events", which is more than most war movies can claim.
Yes, and a movie that pi**ed the Brits off, since no Americans were really involved in the "Great Escape". However, our version of the movie with Steve McQueen, James Garner, James Coburn and other great actors at least give a sense to the accomplishment of those prisoners of war that actually did make the escape. I really like that movie.
Saving Private Ryan....beach assault scene, maybe the best 20 minutes of battle ever produced...agreed not the best movie.
