        The Great Escape?

        A real travesty of a film since I've been reading 'The Great Escaper' about Roger Bushell aka Big X and the actual Great Escape.

        In reality;

        1. No one tried to jump the border fence on a bike.

        2. There were no Americans involved.

        3. 200 lined up and planned to escape, 87 did, 3 got 'home'.

        What I found hard to believe having read the book is how much stuff was pilfered, on the list was something like 635 mattresses, 76 benches, 52 tables, 2 drum coils of thick cable (Gestapo shot the blokes who 'lost' these) and 90 complete Bunkbeds.

        Also the POW's kept meticulous records of which guards were where and when, and the Camp Kommandant used these records as proof to discipline two guards who shirked off their patrols early.

        Be nice to see an accurate movie of these events made, there's enough in the real story without jazzing it up...

                Miracle on 34th Street (1994) for me.
                An outstanding film and highly underrated.

                    Seen it French, German and Italian.

                      Star wars. It was the BBC Xmas film one year when I was about 5 or 6 I think. Watching it always makes me think of Christmas
