Packed with cliches, comedy accents (‘Aussie’ Coburn and ‘Pole’ Bronson) and one of the most incessant ear-worm themes in movie history, ‘The Great Escape’ is grand entertainment. Fun performances by McQueen, Garner and Pleasence, humour and warmth along with the action. It is awfully long, though.

Top badass moment? Two escaping Brits on a train, horrified by the sight of an SS officer with his feet up on the seat opposite, decide to intervene and get him to move them so they can sit down. No wonder people voted for Brexit. With a great soundtrack and a theme tune that’s accompanied many a great England football match (although unfortunately not nearly enough), it’s bizarrely a classic Christmas movie and more exciting than The Queen’s Speech. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.
