It's a good film. No where near a classic in the same sense that Twelve O'clock High is a classic. Most of us as airplane buffs will think of it as a classic because of all the air action, most movie critics consider it to be a rather average film. The British actors are mostly excellent. The German parts are cartoonish for the most part. Compare the Battle of Britain with Tora, Tora, Tora and I think it's obvious which is the better film. Tora told it's story more evenly from both sides. I think too the special effects are much better than BoB even though they were made within a year of one another. Just my opinion.
