Where Eagles Dare (1968)
Great World War 2 set action adventure movie starring the unlikely combo of Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood. Burton was a movie star at the time and Eastwood was suddenly hot after his run of spaghetti Westerns. Why not toss them together and pour them into this macho, adrenaline-fueled blockbuster? This picture clocks in at around 3 and a half hours but it certainly won't seem so! In the days before Star Wars and Indiana Jones, this movie was the shit. Completely absorbing espionage caper where a team of Allied agents attempt to go deep behind German lines to recover an officer from a heavily fortified castle. Gun play and explosions and acts of daring do galore. This is perfect holiday fare where if you have an afternoon or evening to burn, you should try to take this adventure epic in. Highly recommended.
