Top 20 of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2020)

"The Great Escape" is a true classic. It never gets old. It still strikes the perfect balance of excitement, humor and sadness. It's a great looking movie with classic music (I own the CD). The cast is excellent and they all do a great job. Steve McQueen is the one that people talk about the most but to me Charles Bronson is the star. Bronson gives a terrific performance. I've seen "The Great Escape" a bunch of times. It's probably the fastest three hour movie ever made.
