There are many great films
There is no greatest ever film
The Great Escape is a good film
No
Regarding some of the fiction woven into the film:

If you're a flag waving Brit, then yes its probably the best movie ever made
Hardly an epic. 'Ben Hur' is an epic, or 'Spartacus'.
The Great Escape is okay for a quiet Sunday afternoon, but an epic it is not.
The Boat. Classic war film viewed from a German angle.
Failing that Wallace And Gromit- The Wrong Trousers.
I’d say the Great Escape would not even get in my top 1,000 epic films.
John Wayne won the Second World War didn’t he?
These are three of my favourite scenes scenes from three of the old style epic's also from the sixties
