Anyone ever watched this movie? Its about a group of British Commandos on a mission to destroy the German guns at the island of Navarone back in WW2.
I recently watched the movie, and for a movie made back in 1961, it's just great
what are your opinions about it?

Re: The Guns of Navarone
It was one of the first 'fantasy' war movies and is certainly entertaining. I love the bit where Gregory Peck lectures David Niven on his reluctance to get involved in the war... the guy who actually had WW2 medals!

MacLean wrote a sequel, Force 10 from Navarone, set in Yugoslavia, which I believe was also made into a film. -

Re: The Guns of Navarone
Guns of Navarone was one of my favorite movies growing up, i even had the play set, which was this giant multi-story mountain thing that folded into a carrying case and came with a bag of those plastic soldiers.
To me it still holds up and as a really good adventure story. I tend to watch it on my Thanksgiving or Christmas break as an annual tradition. That and The Longest Day.Under the Patronage of Lord Condormanius -
Re: The Guns of Navarone
The guns of the Navarone is great film.
Nice action-packed movie with great actors.
Oh and visit Rhodos, the entire movie was shot there and the people there take great pride in it.
