Favourite Prison Film

[WATFORD zero]

I believe a certain NSCer was in this movie

Cool Hand Luke or Scum for me

 

[Insel affe]

Without trawling through...

Starred up.

Or

American History X

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Well since they were indeed PRISONERS of War

 

[Brighthelmstone]

Shawshank Redemption, is there any other answer?!

 

[Daffy Duck]

It has to be Murder in the First with Kevin Bacon.
Not just my favourite prison-based film, but one of my all-time favourites ever.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Hammer Horror - The Silent Scream

 

[TomandJerry]

The Longest Yard?

 

[Guerrero]

Midnight Express and more recently Escape Plan.

 

[SouthCoastOwl]

Another shout for Cell 211, brilliant film.

Escape from Alcatraz. Best movie ever made.
Back in school i even did a "research work" about the escape.

Bronson gets another vote and Hunger , the story of Bobby Sands locked up in Belfast's Maze prison and his subsequent hunger strike in a bid to be recognised as a political prisoner. Fassbender is superb and the single take scene where he converses with the priest is 11 minutes of genius.

On a slightly similar note , In The Name of The Father is a great film. To be sure, to be sure.

 

[Geestar]

Cool hand Luke

In The Name of The Father, I've only seen that film once and I remember enjoying it.
Is that the film where a jigsaw puzzle is smuggled in to the prison? It's been dipped in LSD.

Didn't know he was on here but an Albion fan plays the prison Governor in Mean Machine.

Did you spot the Albion shield on his office wall?

I'm part of the non-Shawshank crowd - i don't hate or find it rubbish, but it's certainly been surprisingly so many people's FAVOURITE film for some time. And also a fan of Cell 211, forming a general adoration for Luis Tosar. Un Prophete and Hunger spring to mind as very good prison dramas for me.
