The Great Escape

[Jorvic]

The Dirty Dozen. One of my favourite films, with one of the great casts. Plus Aldrich is one of my favourite directors.

Only very slightly ahead of Where Eagles Dare though.

The Great Escape is one of the best movie ever.

Where Eagles Dare

I'd add the following to the poll too.
Castle Keep
The Bridge at Remagen
The Heroes of Telemark

But I love Where Eagles Dare the most out of those.

Von Ryan's Express

[zen007]

Eventually voted for Guns of Navarone as:

[Show spoiler] The film is full of highlights from an ensemble of blockbuster actors to the cinematography that capture the beautiful Greek rocky countryside and the ancient ruins. The adventure covers various modes of transportation including seaplanes, boats, trekking, and military vehicles. There is a mountain/cliff climbing sequence as well that seems to have inspired a sequence in the James Bond spy adventure - For Your Eyes Only. The talented cast portrays various emotions including camaraderie, tension, conflicts, ethics, and handling treason to grant the film a high repeat value. The background score captures various elements of Greek folk music.
