Rate the last movie you watched out of 10

[El Guapo]

I watched Escape from Alcatraz on amazon prime the other night. It's definitely dated looking, understandably, but you get past that after about 15 mins and it's a fairly rollocking ride from there on.

Clint is reliable as ever and Patrick McGoohan (the titular Prisoner) is good as the evil warden. The guy playing Charley Butts looked really familiar but I couldn't place him - he was Mr Heckles in Friends I guess a good 15 years after this was filmed.

Prison break movies are good fun but perhaps wouldn't have the same impact if not based on a true story, so I can see why there aren't more of them. Shawshank I guess the pick of the bunch on the fictional side. Papillon (original) on the other.

8/10.

Henri Charrier pretty much made up papillon.
He wasn't ever on the Island AFAIK
it's still a great story in fairness

cork connection, eh? it couldn’t be as random as knight rider’s boss being a north mom alumni

Nope - a Cork thespian in the early scenes. Think him or his compatriot wearing a digital watch being one of those film clangers lists.

The dynamic between Teller and Jonah Jameson is terrific.

Unbelievable tension and compulsive throughout.

The final ten minutes is amazing .

The look on his Father's face gets me every time.

Reminds me of Full Metal Jacket.

I recommended it to a 20 year old in local shop.

She took note.


Can't wait for reaction.
