A perfect movie!

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 1999)

Director John Sturges outdid himself on this one. "The Great Escape" is what I would consider to be a perfect movie. Along with suspense, thrills, and some truly humorous moments, the film boasts a fabulous cast, a taut script, and a fine musical score. Steve McQueen's motorcycle ride to freedom is absolutely classic. You say you've never seen this movie? Then go out and rent it...tonight! (Just make sure you get the wide-screen version.)
