As for other films, additional to those already mentioned, for me “The Ipcress File”, “Funeral in Berlin” and oddly “The Deep” (plus any James Bond film made between 1969 and 1983).commanderrojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333073264281604301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-51250685237670502772018-10-26T08:49:49.645-07:002018-10-26T08:49:49.645-07:00All of the above.

I've not read the book, I just think that the premise that this 50 year old film has such a strong association with the viewers is what is important - at least to me. I'm not even sure I will read the book, I just like the thought of enjoying certain films, films that have such a strong effect on the watcher.<br /><br />And to be honest I'm not saying that Where Eagles Dare is a great film, it just ticks all the boxes as far as I am concerned.<br /><br />TonyTonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167770417289351340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-61798874052079064832018-10-25T13:44:04.952-07:002018-10-25T13:44:04.952-07:00Unfortunately, the book is rubbish - just a stream...Unfortunately, the book is rubbish - just a stream of snide, "aren't I a clever t**t, rubbish.Jeremy Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250118143994161913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397250603826942614.post-45905157590089596062018-10-25T01:21:00.707-07:002018-10-25T01:21:00.707-07:00I would also like to add one more film;
