Any prison movie recommendations?
I've seen the following, and some more, but from the top of my head
Shawshank, Green mile, Felon, Animal Factory, The Prophet, Bronson, Midnight Express, Starred up and some movie where some ginger skinny guy was the top dog of the prisoners.
I'd like to see movies that are mostly if not entirely set up in prison, and bonus points if they at least attempt to make it seem somewhat authentic instead of hollywooding it up.

Two French movies. One old, one from the New Wave era.
A Nous La Liberte and Le Trou. Especially Le Trou.
There's also Cool Hand Luke, and I Was a Fugitive on a Chain Gang starring Paul Muni.
Papillon?

>Le Trou
Came here to post this.
Also make sure to watch
Bad Boys (1983)
Blood In Blood Out (1993, some terrible acting but all in all a decent movie and worth a watch)
Scum (1979)
The Hill (1965)
Riki-Oh aka The Story of Ricky (1991, Eastern/Gore/KungFu/Comedy)
>>82111656
Scum is quite good but a little dated. Very grim and gritty representation of English prison life. The rape scene is still very disturbing.

Still love Riki-Oh. Such a fun movie. Reminds me of smoking a shit ton of weed. Rogan's kung fu is unorthodox!
