Where Eagles Dare
I usually don't pick up many VHS tapes when I'm out scrounging, but found a copy of this classic today for a buck and couldn't resist it. Burton, Eastwood, the Alps, Nazis and castles; it's a great WWII action flick that I always stop to watch whenever it's on.
If you haven't seen it, you need to.

That is one kick a** WWII adventure!! Love it! Especially the hair-raising, sphincter-tightening tramway sequence. Great find. I need to locate that on DVD.

Yep, I think this is a great one from Alistair MacLean, what a cast and setting.
...another one by MacLean that I'd like to see again is Puppet on a Chain, 1971, plot was a US agent investigating heroin smuggling in Amsterdam... no name cast but lots of action.

Where Eagles Dare by bus
I had a friend in Junior High and High School that liked "military adventure" type movies as well. We were 15 when this movie came out. We rode the city bus downtown (that's where all the theatres were at the time) to see this movie. We also used to go to see other movies like "Patton", Ice Station Zebra" and "The Andromedra Strain".
This was great adventure for 2 Junior High School boys, and the movie was great as well!

A classic that always seems to be on when I come home late from downing a few pints. Its also one of the more implausible plots ever concocted. There is no way those guys could walk amongst German soldiers and speak German well enough not to be detected.
But who cares as its a fun flick.
