The Wooden Horse had some great British actors of the time in it.
Steve McQueen was so "freakin cool", I think for a lot of people the two most memorable things about the Great Escape are him with the ball in the cooler, and the motorbike scene. I wonder what great films he never made :(
With donny osmond on this.... Bridge over river whatever.. 
The fly on the wall documentary "Hogan's Heroes" needs a mention. Harrowing in its accuracy.
Actor in that was murdered. Also, not enough people wear monacles these days. Mogg should start wearing one, it could only enhance his "man of the people" image.
Bullet in the Head - excellent

A Danish film called 'Brothers' from around 15 years or so ago. Concerns a Danish soldier taken prisoner of war in Afghanistan.
And of course we cannot forget "Very Important Person" with James Robertson Justice, Stanley Baxter, Leslie Phillips and the rest of the gang.

A Town Called Alice and The Counterfeiters another two great ones.
I will need to check Brothers and VIP out Alun, can`t say I`ve heard of them two. Thanks.

Years ago , I remember seeing a number of films on BBC2 by Robert Bresson.
One of those films was called A Man Escaped . That was very good indeed .

Very very good Culvin, I had forgot about that one. Just ordered the dvd. Cheers.
when i played golf, in my youth, i met a guy at our club who hap been a prisoner of war,
of the japanese
his name was john wilkinson, he was always ready to encourage us with our
golf, and loved talking about sport. sometimes he would talk about his times
in prisoner of war camps, and his tales were of legend to us.
the most amazing thing was that it was all true, and many books mention him.
today, when we look at the vets remembering their friends from d day, i got to
thinking about john wiilkinson.
theres a tale of a vet in the link below, and it tells briefly of john in the camp
at page 25 well worth a read if you have the time.
the guy this is about, ends up married to johns sister...
