Where Eagles Dare (1968)

Directed by Brian G. Hutton

This is the 2nd of a total of three Alistair MacLean penned WWII films.  The others being Guns of Navarone, and it's sequel Force 10 from Navarone.  It's notable as a very early example of the sort of frenetic breakneck pace action movie we are familiar with today. They definitely don't make WWII movies like this anymore, that's for sure. Don't examine the details too closely, it's no docu-drama, this is an exciting popcorn action flick.  One of the best.
