Hats off to creative brilliance

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2000)

The first modern-style action movie, this still ranks as the best of them all. Where Eagles Dare demonstrates where film takes on the scale of mythic proportions. The producer puts all the elements in front of the camera, and movie magic takes care of the rest: every line of dialogue, every drum roll of the magnificent score, every nuance down to the wisps of hair on the ever-changing hair-lines of the actors could not be changed one iota to make this a more perfect movie. The Great Spirit only touches art once every so often, for human's pure enjoyment, and It trumps up Where Eagles Dare in spades. Tarantino has called it his favourite guys-on-a-mission movie, and is currently taking two years to write his WW2 homage movie. Go check it out and discover what action lovers have known for decades- true brilliance!
