To add a personal insight to A Bridge Too Far Cornelius Ryan was fighting his own battle against prostate cancer while writing it. His wife Kathleen wrote A Private Battle documenting this. They were neighbour and friends when I lived in Ridgefield Ct.

633 Squadron had the Crossroads chef Shuey Mcfee in it.

This is a tough one.  I always loved The Great Escape as I child but now find it staged and not as great as I recalled!  Probably either The Railway Man or Bridge over the River Kwai. (One of my best friends in life, Jim, was a POW of the japs and survived working on the Burma railway).
