Watch This Movie Tonight! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Now far be it for me to tell you guys how to live your lives, but if you're home tonight, nothing to watch on TV, may I recommend one of my favorite films which is on tonight at 8PM on Turner Classic Movies...

"The Great Escape," starring Steve McQueen, James Garner, and many other big stars.
Based on a true story of a group of POW's who stage a daring breakout from a Nazi prison camp, this is a true action adventure classic.
If you've never seen this film, watch it tonight.

Of course, you can always watch "Mr. Sterling" on NBC.

That's actually a very good movie. Thanks for the tip TJL.

I've seen it and I love it. Steve McQueen was so talented and sexy. Shame he died so young.

"Great Escape" is one of those movies that you have to watch when it comes on, no matter what you're doing, or what time of day it is, if you're flipping channels and you see it - that's it, cancel all plans, call in sick tomorrow, I'm watching it!

Ditto for "Dog Day Afternoon," and "Star Wars" movie, "Godfather 1 & 2," "Patton" and "Braveheart."
