I agree with TI for the number one. I like Stalag 17 and Bridge Over the River Kwai as well.

Toss up between Stalag 17 and The Great Escape. Since both of those were the basis for Hogan's Heroes I'd have to agree I like that show alot too even if it was never a movie.

Stalag 17 and The Great Escape are tied followed closely by the Bridge on the River Kwai.
