Ken Gargett Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 personally, this list is about thirty movies too long. some absolute rubbish here. remakes of the defiant ones and papillon? they should not be in any 'best of' list other than movies never to watch because you can't get the time back. also, i would never have 'con air' in a best of list (best of steve buscemi's creepiest performances?) but it belongs a hell of a lot higher on this list than many. shame this wasn't simply a top ten list. https://crimereads.com/the-45-best-prison-escape-movies-ranked/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 The fact that people actually happily consume these remakes is a sad testament to the 21st century mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamthewolf Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 A Man Escaped and Midnight Express for me. Also, a little different but T-34, a Russian movie from 2019 set during WWII has a prison break and some great tank action on the Eastern Front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edicion Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 One of the best tv shows on this theme - worth watching if you want to get your pulse up. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455275/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycosa Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 When I saw the title of this topic, I thought of Escape from Alcatraz. Glad to see it on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looseleaf Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 La Grande Illusion (1937) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Shawshank Redemption is No.7 on that list but for me, that film has usurped all the others. The Great Escape and A Man Escaped, at No.1 and No.2 on that list respectively, are also great choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
