Movies 3 Favorite Prison Movies

[CaptHANDSUP]

1. Cool Hand Luke
2. American History X
3. Papillon

Based on what's on that list. A Clockwork Orange was good too but I was too young when I watched it so can't genuinely put it on my list unless I watch it again.

 

[pv3Hpv3p]

Shawshank
Con Air
12 Monkeys

Last Castle is an underrated prison movie

 

[Project 2501]

Can't believe not a single person on here has mentioned Down by Law by Jim Jarmusch

 

[Buddy Revell]

Cool Hand Luke
Escape From Alcatraz
Bad Boyz (Sean Penn/Esai Morales)

 

[650lb Sumo]

My favourite from the poll is 12 Monkeys but my favourite of all prison film is Scum (UK, 1979)

 

[ThulsaDooom]

A Prophet is maybe my favourite

This. Such a masterful movie with great performances.

I'll also add Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Rescue Dawn to my list.

 

[BisexualMMA]

King Rat, Birdman of Alcatraz, Papillon

Stir Crazy, Escape from Alcatraz, The Longest Yard (original) and Runaway Train are also fine films.

Yeah I would probably have Runaway Train in my top three if it had been in the poll.

 

[Armbars]

Where the Hell is:
Death Warrant

Lock Up

In Hell

Tango and Cash

 

[Travis Alexander]

American Me should be #1 without contest.

“Don’t look at me little puppet, don’t look at me”

“Blood on my dick or blood on my knife, the choice is yours”. (Such a fucked up prison movie line)

This movie is a classic and also based on true events of what started the worlds largest prison gang.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I know how people feel about The Shawshank Redemption, but I've come here to tell everyone that Escape From Alcatraz is the best movie on that list. Cool Hand Luke is a close second.

 

[HARRISON_3]

Lock Up should've made the list.

Also Death Warrant.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Lock Up should've made the list.

Also Death Warrant.

I have Lock Up as the most underappreciated film of Sly's career, and probably the most underrated prison movie of all time. Also the best performance of Sonny Landham's career.

 

[Night Owl]

 

[HARRISON_3]

I have Lock Up as the most underappreciated film of Sly's career, and probably the most underrated prison movie of all time. Also the best performance of Sonny Landham's career.

Agreed.

 

[GSP_37]

If you saw Jailbait, for sure it would win this poll by huge round soft possibly fake landslide victory.

 

[Candy Routure]

Shawshank




American History X










The Rock

In that order.

 

[Simple Southerner]

Ahx
American me
Blood in blood out
