a person, perhaps

"We have put all our rotten eggs in one basket and we intend to watch this basket carefully" goes absolutely crazy I was under tighter security in the psych hospital.

Ramsey with his five whole minutes of screentime being the most normal person in this whole movie.

DANNY AND WILLIE MY LOVES

Lot of great bromances in this movie and they all drive me up the wall. Danny and Willie. Hilts and Ives. Colin and Hendley. Roger and MacDonald. Maybe the real great escape was the extremely devoted friendships we made along the way.

Werner insisting that the British did burn down the White House in 1812 while Hendley's just like "Nah, that's propaganda. Fake news. Democratic hoax. Idk what you're talking about."

Hilts. Is so fucking American. Forget Steve Rogers this guy's the real Captain America.

The fact that they're in camp for less than twenty minutes and they're already trying to break out. But not very well. Like there's no way you actually thought "hide in the back of a pickup truck" would actually work y'all had to be doing that for the love of the game.

Hilts and Ives immediately becoming partners in crime after five minutes in the cooler. And the way you can tell Ives is already kinda losing it because he starts worrying when Hilts doesn't immediately respond to him.

Danny and Willie are never not on screen together. They're in love, chat.

Bartlett and Rasmey's conversation when Bartlett arrives at the camp. Which is mostly business but Rasmey asking if the Gestapo gave Bartlett a rough time and pouring him tea. And he questions Bartlett's plan but still supports it.

me when two guys get along: Fucmking superb you silly Brits

Hendley bringing Colin milk for his tea. Colin didn't even ask him to do that he just made an offhand comment about preferring his tea with milk.

Charles Bronson's unfair amount of muscle. The fuck do you even need all that for?

"I'm watching him. I'm a lifeguard." Most normal possible answer ever you go girlie.

Also the fact that Sedgewick was actually looking at Danny. Who was completely ass naked. In the shower.

Colin getting a work-related reason to yap about birds. And everyone has to listen to him.

In the immortal words of my #1 homegirl who I hope to spend the rest of my life with, "The American [Hendley] gets passed around."

No she did not elaborate.

Danny wasting zero time pulling Willie out of the collapsing tunnel. Which with the hindsight that Danny is claustrophobic slaps even harder.

And when it's the other way around and Danny is in the tunnel when it starts collapsing Willie goes to make sure Danny is okay.

Them hiding the sounds of tunnel work by singing Christmas carols. In summer. And nobody questions this.

Hilts, Hendley, and Goff having a 4th of July party in a Nazi-run POW camp full of mostly British people. Which is the most Yankee thing a person could do. And they made enough booze for the entire class. Like yeah they're in jail and there's a war going on but goddamnit it's a holiday and they're going to have a jolly ol' time and get drunk.

The script has them significantly more hammered then they were in the film and it's great I love it.

Willie bringing Danny a drink.

Ives and MacDonald hanging out and singing a Scottish folk song and MacDonald's accent comes out and it's the only time in the film where MacDonald speaks with a noticeable accent.

HE FRICKIN CALLS IVES "PIGLET" ARE YOU SHITTING ME

Hilts kicking a Nazi in the spine in an attempt to save Ives.

Willie following Danny through the compound at night to stop him from impulsively trying to go through the wire. Willie is completely dedicated to making sure Danny escapes with him and it melts my fucking heart.

"I'll look after you. I'll stick with you all the way." LIKE COME THE FUCK ON.

Similarly, Hendley refusing to leave Colin behind. Hendley says that Colin is going with him and he commits to looking after Colin.

Hendley having tea with Colin even though he doesn't like tea.

Danny panicking and cutting out of the tunnel and Willie going after him because of course he does. And then proceeding to box his claustrophobic boyfriend who is actively having a panic attack against the wall.

The script has Willie saying that if Danny doesn't go then he won't go either which isn't how it was said in the film which is unfortunate. This is why you always read the script it's where all the bonus homoeroticism is.

Danny and Willie in the tunnel a second time when the power goes out. Willie catches up to Danny to calm him down. And then they escape together and disappear to Sweden. The pinnacle of romance. 90% of my thoughts about this movie are just these two. If they didn't get out together I would've ended up on the news.

The fact that most of the escapees are being calm and subtle meanwhile Hilts is having a prolonged high-speed motorcycle chase and Hendley and Colin are jumping off moving trains and hijacking an aircraft and crashing a hijacked aircraft.

Ashley-Pitt shooting a Nazi and getting himself killed in the process to save Bartlett.

Colin dying in Hendley's arms. Because who needs their heart anyway? Not me that thing is for losers.

Bartlett telling MacDonald that planning and conducting the escape gave his life meaning and that he's never been happier and then immediately getting murdered right after the words leave his mouth.

This film is almost three hours long and this list is two pages long in google docs and I didn't spellcheck at all.

The memorial to the fifty murder escapees isn't mentioned in the film but they built a memorial to the fifty murdered escapees outside the camp and its still there.
