The opening credits. Taken from the movie "Where Eagles Dare." I love the heck out of this movie, and the two things I love the most are the score and scenery, both of which are shown well here.

Likely a 70mm print ; the soundtrack's four magnetic stripes had six sections : outside left , inside left , centre , inside right , and outside right , with a surround channel in the roof from 6 strategically placed loudspeakers ; the separation was distinct and clear with that distinctive analogue sound. It had a realistic "ambience". Digital soundtracks these days can be too powerful and oppressive.

We'd visited the Bank of England and the Guildhall and taken copious notes about both as part of a geography field trip, This was our reward in the evening. Us girls wanted to see Ann of Green Gables at the theatre but we were out voted. So glad we were. Yes there are historical discrepancies, but it's one of those films you take at face value. Pure entertainment. (By the way I went on to become a history teacher and I could pick hundreds of holes in the plot, as well as inaccuracies in the uniforms, guns etc. It's still a great film tho'!)

Modern filmmakers are pussies in comparison. Most of those guys saw the war first hand.

I know. It was a costume drama that made the war seem more exciting than it was. Movies like Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and The Fighting Lady depict the war more as it was, They were made in the early 1940s.

"Major, you've got me about as confused as I ever hope to be..." is one of Eastwood's classic, yet underappreciated, movie lines. A great film, with a great score. Thanks for posting it.

My father and I love to watch this film around Christmastime. The snowy Bavarian Alps, countless fireplaces, and old-fashioned filmmaking just remind us of Yuletide.

I was 12 and saw this in a theatre in Gettysburg Pennsylvania when I was there with a traveling boys choir I belonged to. We had travelled there for an Easter concert from Ohio and this was our evening entertainment. I thought it was the coolest movie I'd ever seen and couldn't believe they let us see all this violence which was a big deal for kids back in those times!

Based on the novel by Alistair McLean. I remember watching this in the cinema when it was released. I, also remember when I was attending a creative writing class, one of the first my tutor told us that is always required was a "hook" to keep the readers interested. That "hook" he always told us, has to be at the very beginning. That "hook" is here and in this! One of the best opening sequences ever!

Quite possibly THE best WW2 film ever. Burton, Eastwood, sinister Gestapo officer, pretty girls, the snow, the scenery, traitors, a Junkers 52, this one has everything.

My grandma showed this film to me every month when I was little, and I still own that copy on VHS. this is by far my favourite World War 2 film, the score is absolutely incredible, and so is the acting.

I listened to the London Symphony Orchestra play this live in an all wood venue built in the late 1800s. The floors / walls were vibrating. It was so beautiful I started crying. I've been chasing that perfect sound ever since, spending many thousands of dollars on high end equipment. I still haven't reached that moment nor will I ever.
