I'm not too much into this kind of movies either, I always have the feeling that once's you've seen one, you've seen all of them. However there is a classical black and white film called "the Cow and the Prisonner" with Fernandel I really appreciate because it shows something esle than just the "heroes and the bad ones". It's about a French pow who manages to escape through Germany with the help of the German farmers who don't like Nazis. His crazy idea is to cross the entire country with his "Kg" coat and walking with a cow. It's so incredible that he just walks through every control post, by keeping cool and saying that he is a pow waliking the cow back to the farm. His buddies who tried a more traditional escape are eventually busted, be he manages his escape.
