Planning a prison movie marathon, suggestions?

[Fishtalk]

I'm 2 weeks into a new relationship, she's really nice and quite the movie buff, although not into Star Wars sadly but no-one's perfect right? For some reason she likes prison movies, so I'm trying to find 3 or 4 prison movies she hasn't seen yet for a prison movie night.
She's already seen The Shawshank redemption, Escape from Alcatraz, Tango and Cash and that recent space prison one, Lockout.
The only one I can think of she hasn't seen is Scum, the classic borstal tale. She likes the brutal side of prison life, so the anal rape scene in the greenhouse shouldn't bother her.
So, anyone know any good prison movies? The more unpleasant the better!

Hmm, interesting young lady you have there

"She likes the brutal side of prison life, so the anal rape scene in the greenhouse shouldn't bother her."

YES!

Scum
Papillon
Escape From Alcatraz
Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
Midnight Express
Cool Hand Luke
American History X
The Longest Yard (original)
Life (Eddie Murphy and Martin Laurence. I do not like goofy, nonsense movies, tho is very underrated)
Murder In The First
Alien 3
Un Prophète / A Prophet
Sleepers
In The Name of the Father



Watch them all!

um :? ...I think that's the lot

Scum is the best by far. As far as anal rapings and pool balls in the sock go it's pretty brutal

 

[itfciain]

American History X is very good - although you might want to look away when he stamps on the guy

 

[x-pack]

..and another anal raping :shock: There's a theme here

 

[Fishtalk]

Thanks guys, some great suggestions there. Never seen Midnight express but I here it's pretty grim. And yeah, it's nice to have a girlfriend who likes brutal movies. Who knows, prehaps anal rape could be our next movie themed night? Pulp fiction, Deliverance - there must be others but it's not a subject I normally seek out.

Iain is spot on with American History X great film!

Midnight express is also a great movie but quite slow moving.

These are 2 for me that instantly spring to mind as shining above others -

Bad Boys - the old one with Sean Penn, this one is in English but I posted a copy of the German cover :?

Das Experiment - german with subs but what a great film IMO

When I seen "Titanic" in the theater years ago..............It was much like being in a prison.

Mate, if you end up jumping off the top of your wardrobe, dressed as John Coffee...............................marry her quickly...................................and ask if she's got a sister (for me)

:lol: :lol: :lol: I think every bloke has been given that sentence at least once in their lives

Pete appears to have covered most of them, here's a few decent Aussie flicks.


Ghosts of the Civil Dead ( Nick Cave, very disturbing )

Chopper ( Not so much a prison movie but lots of Prison scenes )
