Here's the scenario: You're flipping through the channels on a rainy Saturday afternoon and looking for something to watch. There is one movie that you will immediately stop searching and watch "this" movie. What is yours? Mine would be "The Great Escape".
I first saw this movie probably as a youngster on a Sunday Night Movie on the old Admiral TV in our family room. I'm not sure why but I have always loved this movie. Captivating characters (both Germans and Allies), exciting mostly true story, great motorcycle scenes and great script.
As a teenager I learned that my best friend's dad had been a B-17 pilot who was shot down over Germany in WWII. He spent the rest of the war in a POW camp, the same camp where the real "Great Escape" took place. My friend's dad wasn't as cool as Steve McQueen but still a great hero in my mind.
What's your best "Drop Everything" movie? Let me know which movie and why and I'll share it with everyone.
