I actually watched this one a couple of months ago with my teenage son who had never seen it. It is definitely one of my favorite movies. The cast was just unbeatable--Robert Shaw is always excellent to watch. Hard to believe it's over 30 years old now--really a great movie.

This was part of my first three movie rentals from Netflix.

Harrison Ford is in my Top 10 list, but I had not previously seen this.

Not a bad action movie, though a bit light on the action. The effects seem a bit dated, but not overly so since it is about WWII. I couldn't help but feeling throughout this movie that I was watching an extended episode of Hogan's Heroes, with the inept portrayal of the Germans and members of various other nations banding together to overthrow them. The acting is decent, but not outstanding. Seeing Ms. Bach in the tub was a definite plus. Ford looks so young, but this was post Star Wars. His role was meager (even though he gets second billing); I was expecting more.

I gave this one 3 out of 5 stars for now.

I fell asleep during some parts of the movie. Not sure why since it wasn't even close to bed time. Though I saw most of the movie and thought it was good so it wasn't that the movie bored me. Perhaps I should watch this one again at a later date so I can see what parts I missed. Perhaps I just chose a bad day to watch it.
