Wartime Movie (Homefront, etc.)

"I've hired you to help me start a war. It's a prestigious line of work, with a long and glorious tradition."
-The Princess Bride (1987)

Carol's pick: The Great Escape (1963) - Great cast, great story (based on a true one!), great motorcycle scene. For a great parody scene, see Chicken Run (2000).
