Year: 1979
Director: Don Siegel
Plot: No one can escape from Alcatraz, right? Try telling that to lifer Frank Morris (Clint Eastwood). This Donald Siegel-directed nailbiter is a reenactment of Frank Morris' 1962 attempt to bust himself and two other cons out of The Rock. Eastwood, as Morris, tilts with nasty warden Patrick McGoohan for a while, befriends several fellow prisoners, and picks the guys with whom he'll make his escape. Among his break-out buddies are the Anglin Brothers (Fred Ward and Jack Thibeau), with whom he'd served in other lockups, and several others who've got their own special reasons to despise the sadistic McGoohan. Filmed on location at the newly renovated Alcatraz, Escape From Alcatraz was another box-office winner for the Eastwood/Siegel combo. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: I couldn't let this discussion go by without mentioninng a few of my favorites... Nobody mentioned Escape From Alcatraz or In Cold Blood ... two GREAT prison movies based on true events! Another GREAT one that wasn't mentioned is The Jericho Mile ! I would also like to give a shout-out to The Longest Yard (original - the remake sucked) which WAS mentioned earlier... It is perhaps the GREATEST prison/football movie of all time! But that is not why I came here. I came here to pay tribute to the reigning Queen of 'women-in-prison' movies, Linda Blair! Let us not forget Born Innocent or Sweet Hostage or Chained Heat or Red Heat ... It seems that after she was possesed by Pazuzu as a child, she just couldn't stay out of trouble! < GOR >
