Prison Films

[Out of Order]

The Bridge on the River Kwai, Von Ryan's Express, and just watched Unbroken yesterday.

A bit ironic considering your plumbing problems.............

Chain Gang Women.

No, I'm kidding. Don't look it up. It was amateurish and awful.

Stir Crazy? Brubaker? The opening and ending sequences of Blues Brothers? Cool Hand Luke?

Actually, the Stephen King prison movies - Shawshank and Green Mile - are what resonate and are the ones I can watch anytime. Best King adaptions to movies, period.

Brubaker is a very good movie.

Bad Boys - Sean Penn

A juvenile prison flick

Sean Penn was great in this.

American History X

Ed Norton (channeling Sean Penn, IMHO) is great in that movie.

Misery is a prison film too. Just different type of prison.
