Don't you wish they'd show that film and just once Frank would make it on to the train rather than dieing on the track...or is that just me.
Which film would you change the end?

I watched Von Ryan's Express when I was a little girl and I was soooo sad when Sinatra's character did not make the train and died on the tracks. I think I started to cry or was pretty close to it. Good movie.
If I could change the end of a movie, it would be City of Angels. I could not believe that Nicholas Cage's character gave up what he did to become human and then the woman that he loved is killed! Arghhh!

one eye above me is 100% correct.
i enjoyed the movie, but i saw a lot of old war movies. i don't really remember much about it except the end. and i can remember watching it in the theater--we just knew that Sinatra was going to make it (heck, he IS Sinatra, right?!). when he didn't, the theater fell silent, except for a few "what the _ _ _ _"s that could be heard from the audience.
the reality of what war really was started settling into my little developing brain because of films like this. as a youngster, the horror of war was highlighted when i watched movies such as this, where the major stars (as opposed to the supporting cast) didn't make it to the movie's end or had devastating death scenes.
SPOILER FOR THE DIRTY DOZEN
not to jump the track totally (get it? Von Ryan's Express? i got a million of 'em!), but i have similar feelings about The Dirty Dozen. though i can remember a few more scenes from that film, the second most touching was Cassavettes' death, after they had basically finished their job. we thought the movie was basically over, then POW!!!
the most touching--Brown's grenade run. he took off through those streets like lightning, dropping grenades into those little vents. i didn't think a bullet could touch him because he was moving so fast.
alas i was wrong...

Yeah, that's a tough ending, I wish I could change the ending to The Great Escape, you get wrapped up in the characters and most of them get recaptured and killed.

If Frankie boy had caught the train and hopped onto it and not been killed it would probably just be remembered as another war movie.

Keep watching it enough times. The Germans have to miss, sometime.

Yes, they should do it with modern technology.
Wanted to change ending of the blair witch so we would have gone and seen matrix instead.
