the greatest escape movie of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2001)

this film is the best 3 hours of film ever made before the godfather. steve mcqueen is superb as the cooler king and the all star cast is excellent from james coburn to charles bronson. from james garner to donald pleasance. this film has one thing that all other 3 hour films don't have, there is not a moment of boredom. finishing off a perfect 10 out of 10. shame it wasn't even NOMINATED for best picture in 1963.
