Movie Haiku:To anyone who's ever seen it, this film's title instantly evokes warm images of favorite scenes accompanied by the sound of the theme song in the theater of the mind. Unquestionably McQueen's movie, with excellent support from a large cast of (mostly) Brits plus, of course, the ubiquitous Nazi guards.
