"The Great Escape" - great cast, great story, Steve McQueen
"A Bridge Too Far" - So tantalizing close to victory, but so far from success - great cast
"Flying Leathernecks" - Marines, John Wayne

I never really cared for "A Bridge Too Far" because I saw the movie almost immediately reading the book, which is an almost guaranteed recipe for disliking any movie.

If you ever get a chance to read the book, I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is one of the best books written about the war.
