 THE GREAT ESCAPE
Apparently, he didn't want to be the main character since his two previous films, both World War II based, did not perform very well at the box office and he couldn't stomach a third riding on his shoulders.
Attenborough provides the film's determination, Garner and Coburn, much of what is considered the film's comic relief, and Bronson gives a powerful turn as the Tunnel King, a man compelled to dig despite his immense fear of enclosed spaces.
It works because it's focused on its topic, unlike recent epic films that seem to think they have to appeal to all audiences, thereby diluting the power of their story.

 Million Dollar Baby Delivers a Knockout
The film, which had originally been scheduled for release in 2005 and was moved up for award consideration in 2004, sped through the post cycle, taking only five weeks for picture editing.
After the editing team left Carmel with a polished cut, Roach and Cipriano created a workprint for screening at Malpaso, where final changes were made before locking the edit and turning it over to the sound team.

 Welcome to Bitter Films
The film's big finale sequence wasn't conceived until midway through production, while individual scenes were redesigned and significantly altered up to the last day of sound mixing.
A projector was purchased in an attempt to be able to view and edit the film in-house, but the idea crashed and burned quite literally in impressive plumes of smoke.
The film's first cut - clocking in at over twelve minutes and running slow as molasses - was trimmed and re-trimmed in the usual microscopic method (it's always amazing how a scene crosses the line between funny to not funny in less than four frames), and was radically retooled in places.
