There are an awful lot of good POW movies, Petro. I agree that Stalag 17 is among the best, but there are some really outstanding lesser known ones. Many from from England, too: The Wooden Horse, The Colditz Story,The Coming Out Party (no, not what it sounds like

) and, of course, The Great Escape.Then there's odd little 1965 picture about what is a sort of army prison camp, with the Brits both the prisoners and the guards: The Hill.

Some super acting, with Harry Andrews really stealing the picture from star Sean Connery.
