Instant Classic

Rating: 9/10 (25 September 2012)

The Great Escape is among one of my personal favourite films and something I will always consider to be a must watch for history buffs. This movie is topped off with a cast of stars who deliver nothing short of an amazing performance. I find myself drawn into the emotions of the characters every time I watch The Great Escape. From the start of the film, the audience is drawn in with the catchy theme song as we build an opening and develop our characters. As the film moves forward, the audience may find themselves drawn deeper into the characters, much as I have. The performances are so amazing, the actors alone make it a film worth checking out. Combined with the brilliant true story this film is based around, it becomes an instant classic. Although I feel this film is grossly underrated in todays media, it is a film that will always be a classic and something that anyone should watch if they have the chance.
