  • All time fave !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This song makes me want to jump a motorcycle over our fence....but I'll end up in my neighbor's yard....and he has guns and was on the losing side in WW2.

  • The german version of this picture is called: " THE GREAT CAPTURE "

  • @Eyyoh77

    litteraly laughed out loud.

  • @butcherbird52 As you can see, we Germans are funny people and able to laugh about ourselves...don´t trust other rumours.

  • 15 people are spending 30 days in the cooler.

  • No one likes us...but we dont care....MASSIV

  • da da ...da daaaa da da da...

    da daaaa..... da da daaaaa ...da daaaaaaa

    MASSIV !

  • shout out to our boys!!!!!! a truly great escape lads.

  • @jameswanantony Even if 99% of the escapees got shot and only the Irish dude escaped which makes it kind of all the more ironic being a basically British mastermined escape plan.

  • British pride comes from that tune

  • Goosebumps everytime...

  • RIP Steve Mcqueen

  • the cooler king,,,, STEVE MQUEEN

  • "good luck"

    "thanks "

  • THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE!!!!

  • Long live Elmer, RIP.

  • 15 people are Nazi's.

    Classic tune. Pressing the dislike should result in being put in Auschwitz!

  • @LeBronFilms bit harsh, the only people who deserved to be there were the nazis

  • ina filmesho sakhtan lakan..zendegiye ma yek farare bozorg bood

  • Great STORY - great cast and fantastic soundtrack

  • with all the technolgy of today, a daring escape like they did would be impossible

  • This isn't a documentary...it's a movie, shot in Hollywood for American audiences. The prime objective here is TO MAKE A PROFIT. Historical facts are considered but only up to a point...then it's fantasy land. But it makes a good movie........and makes money.

  • @MrAnimeDrummer It was shot in Germany, but not exactly where Stalag Luft III was.

  • @MrAnimeDrummer hey dummy, while they may be the attitude today not then, they went to great lengths for accuracy, filmed exteriors in Germany... great drama,even it none was true..

  • @MrAnimeDrummer The Movie was shot in Germany. Maybe not totally accurate. It does show the main theme of what happened. The 50 were executed. Not all at once. Hitler wanted them ALL executed.

  • Read the book to see what REALLY happened!! The movie is quite condensed and contains many inaccuracies.

  • @redtailslick it could have been worse... they could have said that all the prisoners escaped to a neutral country and no one died

  • Absolutely great war adventure movie that isn't to be taken seriosly although based on a true story.

  • @TheGrunt76 Here is to the 50.......

  • Every time I watch this picture I still think McQueen is going to make it over the barbed wire.

  • fucking krautzzz

  • FUCK THE GERMANS !!!

  • @Moiole Language gentlemen, language!

  • @Moiole one word BRITAIN !

  • @Moiole My girlfriend is German? Is that what you mean by that? Surely you're not being racist.

  • 1 WORD ENGLAND

  • i hope we can judge a movie by its theme song, cause if we can, this movie must rock hard.

  • My Fav Book and movie

  • Dont wind me up about a remake of this all time classic! who ever came up with that idea should be shot on sight! I for one would refuse to watch any attempt to remake? how many more films do they want to f#ck up?...

  • A remake of this film would do good in the originality catagory, and it would also bring popularity back to the original... that is, unless you want the original to die out over the next 50 years... it will be forgotten.

  • These pilots died in Poland. They were murdered by ss in Świętoszów.

  • Enough is enough!

    This is the best portrayal of what happened.

    A remake of this is a waist of time like re-making

    "The Day The Earth Stood Still".

    I was 5 years old when "The Great Escape" came out, and my older brother took me to see it.

    You are all a bunch of young whipper-snappers!

    In order to get old one must age to get there!:)

  • Too right, no doubt if there was a remake it would be made by the Americans, and we all know what they did to The Italian Job...

  • im not too hard on the people that have remade classics, actually, i would praise them, can you imagine the bridge on the river kwai remake? so what if they did that, its not as if they are banning the older version, or replacing it! they are just making another one similar to it, thats how i see it

  • A modern day remake of this movie is WELL overdue. And using in it some of the actors that were in this one, like angus lennie, and richard attenborough.

  • Good call :)

  • all british move to pakiland see how they like it :P

  • britain is full!

    no more immigrants!

  • OK, "Lampard", remove all the immigrants from the Chelsea starting XI, let's see how you do...

  • I second that motion. no more immigrants! I am fed up with seeing them! and yes I do vote BNP...

  • Why can't there be peace in the valley?....

  • DIRTY LIL PAKIS LETS KILL UM!

  • do u vote bnp?

  • @lampard205 prob chavs

  • retard

  • Comment removed

  • asian?

  • yerr mate, we are being over run by them lazy, sweaty, filthy, miserable, benefit thieving, rag-head paki cunts!

  • runiemage99

    Funny that because according to the history books the very people you are slagging off fought for us in WW1 and WW2. but hey dont let that put you off being racsist. They fought and died to give you the freedom to be a pillock

  • well said !

  • Comment removed

  • LOL what's it called?

  • It was actually the allies against the Germans. So be happy and enjoy the music baby!

  • Why do things like these always end up as Britan versus America? It makes me sad.

  • The Great Escape" speaks our mentality now if you think about it? we are besieged!

  • i love this song and movie they classics

  • wow that was awsome

  • LONG LIVE FREEDOM

  • Stop this nationalist crap, and listen to the music.

  • DAMN! I meant to give you a Thumbs up, Andmarkcg!

  • page extraordinaire de notre histoire où les valeurs de courage, de solidarité et d'honneur avaient toutes un sens et ont pu être démontrées !!!!!

    un très grand film comme nous n'en faisons plus !!!!

    aucun effet spéciaux, un bon scénario et des acteurs au charisme inégalé !!!!!

    chapeaux messieurs !

  • Good art doesn't gets older.

  • True words :)

  • hey I dont have any argument wit u, I actually like English history, especially during the time when the Romans were there-all I was saying that we a re younger than the English homeland-once a gain no argument with u

  • it was a good film. great music 2!

  • This film was ranked 78th in the "top 100 films of all time"...........some say thats too low.

  • Damn right it is!

  • @stegaflaps

    Way too Low ! Top 25 at least; what a tremendous cast of International " Stars"...

  • I've gt this great film in VHS.

  • does that song have a name?

  • yes it's called the great escape -_-

  • GOOD ONE

  • This film is awesome

  • Superb song...superb movie....

  • mah boi dodongos goes bomboi

  • our band plays this and it sounds amazing when the low bass is played with a tuba

    french horns and trumpets play the melody and the trombones are the rolling bass it sounds amazing thank you for putting this up.

  • same here, I love the trombone part... even though it is painfully high in our version! I love the tuba part at the end when its just like the tuba and the flutes/clarinets... maybe its just our version, but it totally sounds way cartoon type :D

  • hey john135246 you have to be english to know what we are on about its a long standing joke and its sung at all the world cup games something you wouldnt know about you prick so get off your high horse

  • YOU NEED ME TO EXPLAIN??? american by any chance?????

  • hah damn americans

  • Forvever England....and the only tune every ENGLISH MAN can whistle........

  • Unusual film in sense it was a full blown Holywood epic that hewed fairly close to the truth.

  • AmaZing Movie

  • One of my favorite films, hope they'll make a remake sometime. Would be a contrast to all those earnest WW2-movies they do lately!

  • film i found rather borin not coz thee werent action but because the ending sucked i would liked him to have escaped lol

  • But... it was based on a true story! They can't just change the ending!

  • lol!!!!!!! I like that music! Great movie.

  • ha nice one i bet they hated that!!!

  • haha i just resigned from my job and sent this clip round the office to everyone. got accused by HR and managers of lacking respect and professionalism.

  • i love the song and the movie

  • Would you have preferred "Oh Sole Mio"?

  • Calm down angry man. It was a simple question. No need to get psycho about it. Merry Christmas!

  • if people got angry about racism like 100 years ago we could avoided thing like holocaust SO I GET ANGRY ALL THE TIME I SMELL ANY RACIST THING IN MY WAY!

    and it's not a simple question it's like i come to u saying "ah what's like been in a country who don't gives a shit about the kyoto protocols and the planet pollution being the first waste producer in the world?"

    U better think twice if u have to say bullshit!

  • Get professional help. You need to get your hate under control sir. You seem dangerous. Check yourself into a mental health facility before you hurt someone. Goodbye and good luck.

  • go fuck yourself bub!

  • whats wrong with this song ya anti white man?

  • i heard it like a million times, in tv at the radio, in other movies. and the strage thing it's that i'm italian. why italian medias had to torture me with the same song all the time? and i'm also white. how i can be anti white if actually I AM white?

    and if u don't like to be criticized u don't have to acess or write things on utube.

    I have the right to say what i think and no one has the right to say racist things about my nationality like redjac so i have no right to say racist things on u

  • so what ur saying is that u dnt like a clasic song cuz its been played quite a bit and ur saying its terible i do admit it was over played but that doesnt make it crap

  • i dind'nt mean that is crap for all the world... i allowed to have my opinion...

    thanks for not saying bullshit like some "others idiot"

  • fair dos i agree u have the right to state ur opinion but so do i so.. but i love this song cuz this is what my father had at his funeral because he hated sad song lol^^ anyway enjoy ur time on utube.

  • Hey stupid, "Italian" is a nationality, not a race. Get your facts straight before you post a comment. It will save you the embarrassment of looking like a fool. By the way, you sound like a typical cry-baby. More hot air comes out of your mouth and ass the the whole USA. Stop global warming by shutting up. Thanks.

  • peak... why u don't eat shit and die? cause u'll do us a favor...

    ALL OF US! now getting angrier is worst than polluting a planet! and so... jew if am correct it's a religion nor a race. so u can talk about racism either about natinality...

    aaah all this cause ai don't like a song... you're just stupid!

  • I guess if you're retarded like you, you may see race and nationality that way. Anyway little boy, if you're a "metaller", go bang your head against the wall until you knock yourself out. Only a real piece of shit like you wishes death on someone. Bye Bye dickhead. P.S. I LOVE THIS MUSIC!!!!

  • fucken americans...

  • hahahaha woweeeeee

    go cause another global finacial crisis you asshole

    oh whats that you from the south?

    your mother your sister

  • What are you? Descendants of English criminals. Liars and thieves. Your great grandfather probably raped your grandmother. Thats the blood flowing though your veins dummy.

  • Hahahaha Americans are so pathetic they...you know that is the only thing you can say and its not at all an insult. But I mean America has such a good history

    your late for your klan meeting you racist gun totting pig

  • You're proud of your history? You're too fucking stupid to be ashamed. Anyway, your countrymen didn't treat the natives so well either, but you don't want to talk about that, do ya mate. Intelligent conversation is not your forte. You're boring me now, say what you will in reponse, I'm finished with you, jackass.

  • can i ask which "natives" that we didnt treat well you're refering to????? assuming youre talking about england. or was that just a bullshit comment to cover for your genocidal, racist past?

  • I was talking about the natives of Australia. Ever hear of the Aborigenes? But...if you want to talk about the violent, imperialist, racist past of England, one only needs to look at India, China, Africa, and the Americas. A history of genocide. Hypocrite.

  • To be fair we didn't massacre an entire civilisation... you did

  • To be fair, the English murdered millions, imposed their language and culture around the world. Colonialism. Get off your high horse & understand the truth. There's an old saying. "The sun never sets on the British Empire". England is the most murderous, imperialist nation in recorded history. But hating America is a fad. It's cool to go to Euro-pubs & trash the USA. It makes you feel pure & superior. The Red Army didn't steamroll through western Europe because they saw America nuke Japan.

  • Ah feck off and eat a pie, I'm Irish anyway

  • LOL, My Grandfather was Irish. But I'm 100% American. He left Ireland because he saw a better life across the Atlantic.

  • To be honest, none of the major powers over the last several hundred years have covered themselves in glory, America definitely included, In terms of the empire though, we did better than the French who had an absolute nightmare in Africa. They left it in a complete mess.

  • Britain has more History than America...

  • no shit, America has been a nation for only 233 years, Britian has been around since the 1200's when the Magne Carte was signed,

  • yeah *grin* you americans are decended from BRITISH people! pwned.

  • no the Revolution

  • we let you have it mate rule by secrecy, you know we still rule you in every way.

  • yeah...

    XD you still speak 'english' don't you!

  • How can the English from ENGLAND who made the language speak it in an accent?!?!

  • ...realy interesting question :)))))))

  • Would the film have been so successful without Elmer Berstein's music? Comments welcome!

  • Absolutely! But the Music in this CLASSIC is like the Cherry on top of an Ice Cream Sundae... Timeless !!

  • No- the music was epic to go with the film.............right up there with Jerry Goldstein and Maurice Jarre.

  • One of, if not THE greatest film theme in the history of ever.

  • best song ever

  • salute

  • best song in the world.

  • Up the RA

  • Ich lieb dieses lied,höhr ich gern beim fahrrad fahrn xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • great movie

  • Einer von wenigen guten US Filmen

  • ja ich nein. doesnt gibt es ein gutes Bild von ww2

  • Gentlemen, you are in the finest class of the Royle Army, your mission, stop Jerry's convoy at the bridge between point "A" and point "B". First, you will be paradropped at precisely 2300 hours onto checkpoint "Y". Next, you shall regroup and hold the area until instructed to move on to checkpoint "X". Once at checkpoint "X" you will hold fire until the convoy arives at point "A" at 2400 hours. Then, when you have visual of the convoy you'll stike once it reaches point "A".O.k men lets move out.

  • in germany we say all BUNKER, and in Bundeswehr we have lots of pals they were in BUNKER, we call they BUNKER-King.... ;-)

    I don`t know the word "Cooler" in engl.! Sorry!

    The American Pals 1988 say "Bunker" too at USAF in Germany!

    It was 1988 at German Air Force Luftwaffe Paratroopers.

  • If you watch the video without &fmt=18 on the URL there is no obtain too watch in higher RES. but if you do it says at the bottom corner of the screen WATCH IN NORMAL RES? It was not like that a few months back. :S

  • played the game wathced the movie cant say no more just brilliant

  • Ok I'm officially ready for Christmas now...

    Seems to have been an official christmas movie in UK for many years now, you can almost guarantee at least 2 channels will show it between 24th and 31st of December

  • This is way out of my time, but i got the song in my head and im eager to watch the movie. it sounds cool

  • One of my favorite movies.

    GREAT. Steve McQueen as "the bunkerking" and other great moviesstars..

    5**** for this vid...and the Music

    Dennis

  • It's too bad what happened to Steve McQueen and Vic Morrow. Steve McQueen ever since I was a kid in the 80's has always been synonymous with "The Great Escape" for me. Great Film and Vic Morrow's Combat show was bad ass. Von Ryan's Express was really good too. They actually knew had to make good war movies in those days. Kelly's Heroes and Where Eagles Dare are just so well done

    ( music, themes, actors, plots, etc.) never again to be duplicated.

  • let's saddle up your hog and ride TO WALL STREET AND NAIL THE BANKSTERS!

  • Awesome!!!

  • I played the game, it wuz pretty cool ;P

  • a really good movie

  • love this movie

  • best movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • When ever I watch this I keep hoping he clears the fence lol

  • they had just taken songs from other moveis

    and added them as the background music for the new film wall-e.
