This is one of those movies you can watch over and over and it never gets old.

The perfect movie to watch in the winter, especially when it’s snowing outside!

I was living in an apartment over a theater in a small town. My uncles in laws ran the theater and WED came into the theater. I had sole access to the balcony seats for watching the movies.
For two weeks I saw every single screening of it and was hooked. Its my all time favorite movie. Welcome to the fan club!!

Classic film I must have watched it 100 times and never tire of it

[bbroegger]

this movie has an atmosphere that none other has, they dont make em like this anymore

[MuzixMaker]

That theme music is epic and heroic. You know a great adventure is in store.

Look at Mary Ure’s character in this movie. She’s a total bad ass. She’s not there as arm candy for Burton. She’s an important part of the team and his character also treats her with that respect. She doesn’t sacrifice her femininity to be an able and effective agent in the story. Awesome scenes of her not hesitating to be side by side with Eastwood blasting Germans and doing what it takes for them to succeed. And it all plays out naturally with no virtue signaling, no berating or de-intellectualizing of men to elevate her, no displays of unbelievable physical prowess, just her being someone who has their shit together. Heidi is also portrayed well by Ingrid Pitt in a similar manner. Modern movie makers could learn a lot from a movie like this on how women can be extremely capable without becoming ostensibly a man in their character and behavior.

Great minds think alike! The opening score is the best. The voice of Richard Burton is incomparable. They simply don't make movies like this anymore. Thank you so much.

I was a youngster when this movie came out. I love it now just as much as I did back then! Great movie.

[ambushedimagination]

I have to agree, one of the best. I love all the words said between Burton and Eastwood with no words.

[lordbyron]

One of my favorites ! The theme music is awesome! Actors ? The best !

[tinatina]

I can see this film over and over again, and never get tired of it. It is a legendary film, they don`t make films like this in 2020.

I love this film at Xmas. I will tell you the reason. I watched this one time when I could not sleep when young. But I could not find it again. Managed to come across it and taped it when at my Uncles house at Xmas and watched it ever since.

I have visited the castle and it has a floor dedicated to the film. It’s amazing

[blchamblisscscp]

One of my favorite movies. When I see it playing, I have to stop and watch even though I've seen it a hundred times. It's got everything. A WWII movie, spy movie, murder mystery, and a splash of romance.

[subhashbose]

Alistair MacLean stories have always been fascinating. Where Eagles Dare with its wonderful location & packed action has always been a favorite movie. Thanks for sharing. Waiting to see more of the movie.

Wonderful War era film, Burton and Eastwood are top of their game in this. Ingrid Pitt is such a timeless beauty here...this is the movie that got her name remembered with me.

[carsten]

I was a kid when I watched this fantastic movie at the school cinema club in the late 1970s. I used to read Alistair Maclean and James Hadley Chase good books among others. This was the best war thriller that I still remember vividly even until now ! The music score, Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood and the sinister Gestapo Major brilliantly played by Derren Nesbitt made me glued to the edge of my seat. Very realistic special effects too for that era. Superb movie !

[chrisevans]

Awesome war movie, ...great settings with a wonderful music score, ..and Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood's on screen chemistry was incredible, ... brilliantly written and the stunning snow covered backdrops made for the perfect war movie, ..the likes we don't see anymore....mores the pity

[uzeyircelen]

Great movie ..
The legendary film actor Richard Burton delivers one of his most powerful screen portrayals in the blockbuster movie Where eagles dare
