The Great Escape (1963)

Although any review of this movie could consist entirely of onomatopoeic renderings of the theme music, I'll resist the urge to do so. Instead I will attempt to focus on what I thought of it. 

In all honesty, as its hype suggests it to be the greatest War story ever told, it's really not all that. If you buy into all the "its got big names, so its good" then you will probably have a good time. Otherwise, the characters aren't too deep. The guy digging the tunnel is interesting, though. 

Most of the movie, honestly, didn't do much for me.
