[spence]

Easy - Papillon Brilliant film

 

[TomandJerry]

The one about the guy in a prison, can't remember the film name

 

[lawros left foot]

Scum

 

[grubbyhands]

The Executioners Song, the Gary Gilmour story, epic.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Jailhouse Rock.

 

[Gwylan]

Un condamné à mort s'est échappé - Not just the best prison film, one of my top 10 of all time

 

[Lower West Stander]

Shawshank Redemption.

Obviously.......

 

[LamieRobertson]

Great Escape

 

[Seagull58]

Shawshank Redemption.

Obviously.......

Indeed. The Great Escape runs it close though, if it counts as a prison film.

 

[A mex eyecan]

Not so much a movie but Series 1 of Prison Break for me

 

[AmexRuislip]

This

 

[moggy]

Shawshank and the green mile

 

[Beach Hut]

Shawshank Redemption and Scum

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Porridge - nothing comes close (Shawshank film is sentimental pants).

Possibly followed by Bridge on the River Kwai.

 

[APACHE]

Two-Way Stretch.

 

[catfish]

Easy - Papillon Brilliant film

I thought they made an awful film out of a great book.

 

[atfc village]

Stalag 17.

 

[Gwylan]

Shawshank film is sentimental pants

I totally agree: am mystified by this film's popularity: it's a trite, superficial melodrama - what is its appeal?

Yeah but it had boobies in it.
