Midnight Express (1978,  R)
Midnight Express
If there is a penitentiary drama that can be named as the most savage, crude and inspiring, this is it. euphorical epilogue.

Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut (A Man Escaped) (1957,  Unrated)
Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut (A Man Escaped)
A minimalist work of powerful and dramatic precision. Bresson tells the story of a prison break without any contrivance nor decoration, with naturalism and painstaking attention to the sound, the enviroment, and the main character's thoughts. the suspense is nail-biting, and the subject matter is profound. cinema in its purest form.

Stalag 17 (1953,  Unrated)

The Great Escape (1963,  Unrated)
The Great Escape
The ever cool McQueen is the leader of a formidable bunch that includes Charles Bronson, Richard Attenborough, James Coburn, Donald Pleasence and James Garner. the german war prisons were never this fun.

Papillon (1973,  R)
Papillon
McQueen and Hoffman are marvelous in this sad but in the end exciting and uplifting prison drama.

La Grande illusion (The Grand Illusion) (1937,  Unrated)

Le Trou (The Hole) (The Nightwatch) (1964,  Unrated)
Le Trou (The Hole) (The Nightwatch)
Five men propose themselves to start one of the most demanding and yearning tasks for any person in their condition: a flawless prison break.
Jacques Becker's relatively premature swansong is a riveting story of amazing simplicity and precision.
The suspense displayed is unbearably tense and involving.
An overlooked gem embedded by hope and camaraderie, with topnotch direction and performances.
