To add some British war epics to this evergrowing list -
 
    THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY (57) - story of only German POW to escape in WWII.
    THE WOODEN HORSE (50)    - yonks better than 'Great Escape'.
    THE COLDITZ STORY (54)   - the most convincing WWII POW film.
    A TOWN LIKE ALICE (56)   - women POW in Malaya WWII.
    (US Title 'The Rape Of Malaya')
 
    I'd also strongly suggest you consider 'THE HILL' (65) - a powerful Sidney
    Lumet/Sean Connery collaberation.
 
    cheers
 
    Rob Pemberton
