  As a young boy I had the pleasure of seeing The Great Escape in one of the old downtown mega theaters in L. A . He defined exactly what an an American character is. Tough, cunning, resourceful, quick thinking, smart talker. A lovable rouge who respects authority, but to a point. This is a template for what an American should be. Just like Clark Gable he showed us all how to be an American man. His characters never took any nonsense, and they always seemed to think out of the box,regardless off the repercussions. As a racer he was almost fearless, and quite talented. He relished in the world of Motorsports and left all the Hollywood nonsense behind. He strove to be the best in all he could do. His treatment of Neile was not his best attribute, philandering an womanizing not his most endearing traits. But he was Steve McQueen, Number one box office the king of cool, a human inside,who like us all isn't perfect. I recommend that one should see all his films, read his biographies and learn about this great American Icon. Al Salce

  We see Liz Taylor movies all week, Kirk Douglas, Marilyn Monroe etc. I'm a Steve Mcqueen lover and would love to see his movies on tv. They just don't play them. I would especially love to see Baby the rain must fall. I guess that was the first movie I saw him in as a kid.

  Words cannot express how much I love and respect this man. He's so remarkable I can't believe he's real!! He is without a doubt the greatest actor ever. He's so natural and realistic it's like he's not even acting. It's breathtaking. And he was a veeery sweet, kind hearted generous man who gave to those unfortunate. He was the greatest father in the world. He's true to himself and stands strong in his beliefs which is something I do, too. This man is a gift. He was an Angel in life and he's an Angel in Heaven. He'll be forever loved and missed.

  I first fell in love with Steve Mcqueen after seeing him in 'The Great Escape'. Now I can't get enough of him. He's an incredible actor and i hope his works will be recognized and enjoyed by the future generations for the great films they are.

  You can get his movies at a store like Barnes and Noble. They are also are on Ebay. I have ALL of his movies. I do have a rather large collection on him. A great guy and a very good actor. My favorite McQueen movie is "The Sand Pebbles" followed by "Love with the Proper Stranger". :)

  Why aren't there any Steve McQueen Movies shown on Turner Classices.I think the industury would be surprised.And you just can not find them. Here in Colorado Springs.The Public Library. While that is good it isn't good enough. Where can I buy his movies,I am ask this question all the time. Steve was ask this question once by some college students,Steve reply was his range was not that good. Therefore he played characters more of himsef or his style. therefore he could some how be the characters.Steve Love His Family That was obviouse.I think fame Just got in the way.I think when he lost his wife of (15 years)he lost some of himself. And never regained it.

  A fine actor with a talent to attract the audience with his slick stunts. The best Mcqueen movies were The Great Escape, The Magnificent 7, Bullit and Papillon. It was a joy to watch him in these.

  my most fav mcqueen movie was probably the great escape cuz of his great stunts. In nearly every film he had a problem and then you were left feeling sorry for him.

• McQueen, Absolutely Wonderful!

  I cant think of any thing bad to say about his acting. He was amazing, Magnificent, and gifted. His acting pulls you right into the show and almost makes you belive it's really happening. He was very handsom, too. I;m sad to here he didn't have a very long life. If he would have, I have a feeling we would of been seeing alot more of him. sincerily, Lindsay; age 15
