Broadsword calling Danny Boy! A must see!

And while you're at it you might want to buy the book by Alistair McLean too, it's a great read!

Cheerio!

Even more rounds fired in this one than in Kelly's heroes. With far fewer magazine changes to boot! Good flick, even though I have not felt the urge to buy a copy yet.

Found a copy for 6.99 at entertainmart, stuck it in the blueray and wow!!! it's a fine feature film, and lengthy.

My one and only complaint about "Eagles" is the chase sequence from the castle to the the Ju-52.

It seems to be one 'yeah, right' moment after another as our heroes drive a magic snow bus that can withstand hails of gunfire, stay just ahead of pursuing military vehicles, smash through an oddly unguarded airfield gate, wreck T-6 aircraft in turn, and find the Ju-52 at the right portion of a sprawling airfield complex; while Richard Burton and friends shoot with astounding marksmanship at the right instant (including killing the one officer on the one alert phone in the airfield control tower, and from ground level with a submachine gun, no less) and the Germans are strangely slow on the uptake. After all, what chance does a Ju-52 have in daylight flying into and out of the heart of Bavaria in 1943? Whew....

Aside from that rant, I still consider "Eagles" to be one of the best fictional WWII thrillers for the 1960s. For something in that sub-genre more plausibly better, I recommend "The Eagle Has Landed" from the 1970s.

Have to agree with Karl, good movie but Eagle has Landed was better. Michael Caine is fantastic as Steiner. The book was great too and there was as sequel The Eagle has Flown , a must read. Jim

Love those "Eageles" movies where the kill ratio was 1 good guy to 10 bad guys. Then again, which western movie wasn't.

i just got it last week love it great movie i got mine at target it has 4 ww2 movies to it that one and kellies heros battle ground and off hand i cant remember the last one
