I have seen many of the movies you have mentioned and enjoyed them. Alistair MacLean
revelled in sudden twists in the plot and they were well presented in the films.Remember the final scene in 'Where The Eagles Dare' ?

'Papillone'was noted for photographing the swamps
of Guyanas.

Farther down the memory lane,I remember 'The
Three Musketeers' of Alexandre Dumas ,the film
being even more exciting than the novel.The role
of swashbuckler D'Artagnan was played by Gene
Kelly,known till then only as a dancer in MGM films, but he did even better than Errol Flynn or
Douglas Fairbanks !
