"I never remember the name of it. Someone on here did tell me when I mentioned it in a previous thread similar to yours OP, but I still don’t remember it. Robert Redford was a prison governor sent in to reform an out of control prison. I I’m not sure if the name of the film was the governor’s name or the prisons name. " Brubaker - don't think I've actually seen it all the way through | |||

"Penitentiary some might not remember this it goes way back before VHS tapes it was on betamax, American history X, scum, McVicar," Vaguely recall Penitentiary The others are all good calls though - Scum was very much of it's time and along with Quadrophenia a film for my generation | |||

"Fairly recent film Starred Up is a good watch. Brutal but powerful. Also enjoyed An Innocent Man when I saw it years ago. Selleck on good form. Honourable mention for the TV show Oz. No matter what I see J.K. Sommons in, to me he'll always be that bastard Schillinger. " If brutal is your thing, try A Prayer Before Dawn. An English Thai boxer, addict in a Thai prison. Not an easy watch obviously. | |||

"Penitentiary some might not remember this it goes way back before VHS tapes it was on betamax, American history X, scum, McVicar," Talking of scum.. I can remember by local flea pit ... Nicking in when you're underage and watching a double bill... Scum and quadrophenia...when the projectionists name was Eric... "Where's ya tool?" "what tool?" "this fucking tool" crack... Now in the same era was a "prison camp" film which I can't remember the name of but others may... It was kind of a cross over war / prison camp / nazi / nun / porn flick... One scene stands out... The prisoners were forced to balance on the shirting pole by the nazi nuns... Lost their balance and ended up drowning in the shit pit.... Weird film. | |||

There was no closing Slade down and relocating everyone to a prison on a Desert Island, or anything else that broke the situation in the comedy. | |||

"Mention of two of my favourite films (Papillon and Cool Hand Luke) on another thread got me to thinking how many good films there are set in prisons - Shawshank, Midnight Express and Green Mile are more firm favourites and then you have the PoW camp films like The Great Escape So what are your favourite prison related films?"

"I remember stealing a video (actual VHS video tape) from school because we used to watch clips of it in R.E, but never the full film. Escape from Sobibor. As a child I was obsessed with anything to do with the Holocaust. " Escape from Sobibor was a TV miniseries with Rutger Hauer & Alan Arkin in lead roles It was based on real life events | |||
