This is why Britain has the M problem now.

First saw this as a 5 year old in 1972 at the Drive In and it just had the hairs on the back of my neck go up when this opening came on! Love this film. Have the DVD and never gets old.

Damn, wars.

When I hear this music I start making plans to watch the movie again

Great movie. One of only two Clint made for MGM. A Warner Brothers actor all the way. I believe he had difficulty with the studio. Anyway, this and Kelly’s Heroes two top films at opposite ends of the genre spectrum. Serious espionage thriller to awesome war comedy.

Someone knows the exact filming location for this scene ?

I exclusively listen to 0:45-1:33 because I heard it used in this one YTP of Wallace and Gromit

Worst movie I’ve ever seen, acting along with the laughable action is diabolically bad. Typical Americans and British making out that the Germans were stupid. I’ve never watched a movie where I want them to be caught and punished by firing squad more in my life

In india tamilnadu people celebrate this movie like m.g.r movie

This Junkers Ju 52 was a Swiss Air Force Ju 52/3m, registration A-702. It was destroyed in an accident on 4 August 2018, killing all 20 people on board

Film was on TV today. I missed it. But i just had to see this part again. When it freezes and zooms in on Eisenhower and the music rises, goosebumps!

Brachten sich für die 2 Riegen da oben und deren Kampf um die Macht mit ihren Phrasen um. Glückwunsch. Im übrigen konnte der Süden frei entscheiden ob er die Ideen des Nordens ablehnen wollte. In dem Sinne...wer war nun der Aggressor?

They should have used their resources to clear the access to the port of Antwerp immediately, as there was hardly any German soldier around near the Scheldt estuary, then. It would have shortened the Allied supply lines drastically. But Antwerp was first of all important for the Americans. The British still counted on getting the French Channel ports intact, which were much closer to them, but these were still in German hands.

"A great and terrible day"

Next time you brits have one of these operations, how about keeping it in-house and leaving me out

I'll take those code books now, Colonel

Hitler: We are coming. Polish pilots: Ehm... Did you say something? XD

Hitler was a very bad man.

The first time I saw this movie, as a kid back in the 90's, was on a TV channel dedicated to movies from the 40's up to the 60's or 70's. I wasn't even paying that much attention, as I was planning to go to bed when I stumbled upon the opening. The whistling of the wind, combined with the increasing rhythm of the drums caught my attention, and when the Ju 52 passed overhead, I went with it, and has been ever since. And I didn't go into bed until 3 am.

One of the best movies I've ever seen. And the book is (of course) even better...

Best movie of all times

I can't believe this is 17 years old. It's still as fresh now as it was back then. Brilliant stuff, and so well done.

What I find interesting is how quickly the airplane was developed into such an effective weapon of war. It was only 37 year before, that the Wright brothers had flown their first flimsy plane. In WWI, planes were still only little more than wooden struts and wires. Yet in WWII, they developed to the point where they could virtually flatten entire cities, hundreds of miles away. I also noticed how in this movie, both the Berliners and the Londoners seemed to dismiss the approach of enemy planes. Nobody seemed to realize how vulnerable cities were to aerial bombardment.

Wolfenstein and Medal of Honor creators can thank this movie for inspiration

0:42 I know him. That's Creek Johnson.

I was gonna watch this until you used the R word derogatorily. Shame on you.

This is a youtube classic for me

Great atmospheric opening!!

It’s interesting watching the reactions of the three men to the story. Heydrich grasps the point, but only on a surface level. Eichmann is baffled by it, even after it’s explained to him, because he has literally no empathy or understanding of complex human behaviour. Muller probably gets the point immediately, but seems contemptuous because love and hate are irrelevant to him with respect to the job they have to do. Heydrich is intelligent and refined, Muller is intelligent and brutal, and Eichmann is less intelligent but much more organized and meticulous. All three are terrifying in different ways.

Hairs on end Tuneage

tomatocow lives!

That’s why Germany were trying to get the uk to surrender by bombing the cities in the uk But unfortunately for them they failed to surrender Britain and Britain remain too strong for them to try and make them surrender

You can see these people rushing towards the underground after hearing the air raid sirens going off and the street lights switched off

A movie which was remade st leadt three times Star Wars a new hope Iron Eagle 2 Top Gun Maverick (and somdme more Star Wars sequels)

2:35 the best intro begins song

Great title music never tired of it

"Well where do we land?" "Well where isn't on this photo but like somewhere over here"

Good movie--overlong but plenty of action

Overlong but great movie, Eastwood and Burton at their best

This and The Wild Geese. Great movies to watch again and again.

Masterpiece

One of my go to war movies as a child.

Winston Churchills speech and tribute for the few summed it up brilliantly and made you feel proud to be British something we are sadly lacking nowadays

The ending a fitting tribute to all on both sides

The filmmakers made a mistake at 1:00. Almost any underground station would have been more suitable than Ruhleben, because Ruhleben is located above ground and has two elevated platforms. In addition, the station is in a more rural area and not in the city centre.

Just remember if it wasn't for the merchant navy escorted by my Grandfather with his mates in the escorts the RAF would have been sat on the ground with no ammo or fuel .yes remember them but the longest hardest battle was at sea .

"You all right there, Captain?" "Is that you, God Almighty, shining from Heaven above?"
