Great choices and some good additions to the list. One I forgot to list yesterday is: The Grande Illusion--a WWI pow escape movie. Another pow escape movie that i'd like to mention that I think is very good, and quite different from the average escape movie is: Hannible Brooks. Oliver Reed, Til Kiwi, Wolfgang Priess, Helmut Lohner and Michael J. Pollard, were all very good in this movie. This is the movie where Oliver Reed (Hannible) is choseen to take care of "Lucy" the Elephant, at a zoo in Munich. The zoo gets bombed, Lucy was injured, and they are given orders to walk the elephant to another zoo elsewhere. One might think it a dumb movie but, it has many elements that I think makes it a great movie.

Have to agree with Otto on the actor: Karl-Otto Alberty. I always did enjoy watching him in what movies I have seen him in. Alberty was also great in The Winds of War and War and Remembrance maxi-series as well as Major Diepel in: Battle of the Bulge.

At any rate, it really is a difficult choice for me to make on which I liked the most. It was between these three choices:

1) Colditz.
2) The Password Is Courage.
3) The Great Escape. (Not necessarily listed in order of preferance)

I chose Colditz, as my favorite escape movie due to Sir John Mills and Eric Portman's great acting. It's a tie between the other two.
