I just watched this with my ten year old son and he really liked it.Then I gave him the history behind the movie.I’m setting the hook.I saw it at the Fox when it premiered in 64.Never gets old.
I watched it at the US embassy theater in Islamabad when I was 8. Stuck with me from then till now.

Besides Rob Roy, The Great Escape was my grandfather's favorite movie. It's definitely one of my top ten.
A timeless classic that all generations can appreciate.

It’s one of those movies that when I see it playing on TV, I stop what I’m doing and sit down and watch.
In Chicago media Ray Raynor had a kid’s show and played on Bozo’s circus on WGN during the 1960’s and 70’s.
He was self effacing, humble and funny.
But it was little known that he was a POW in that camp!
He never spoke of his war history. That was very common among those heroic men not to brag or boast of their war times adventures.
But with friends and a few brews...
Me too, I saw this film with my brother when it first came out. My Mother would use the movies as her favorite babysitter and I guess my brother and I saw that film at least 3 times before she came and picked us up.
Never get tired of watching that movie.
