IFL that song. Most sampled reggae track of all time.

tough call here - Bridge on the river Kwai was great, Cool Hand Luke was great, but this one has great in its title

Bridge is Alec Guiness' greatest role of all time and it's not really close. FO Star Wars nerds.

Amazing list. There were 4-5 choices that all work for me. I've probably watched Alcatraz as many times as Shawshank, and that's a lot. I've seen all of them a bunch of times except for The Great Escape and Bridge On the River Kwai. Those I haven't seen since I was pretty young.

Cool Hand Luke is my favorite cause Dragline just beats up the new fish with boxing gloves vs trying to corn hole ‘em. A more civilized time.

I love this movie. It’s criminally underrated.

Stalag 17 is goated. Worked its way into the Christmas movie catalog in my family.

Another poll with no wrong answer IMO

I’m with @JoeEDangerously, many good pics here. Will say, one of the best and funniest not mentioned is Life, with Eddie Murphy and Lawrence.

Both excellent choices.

Cool Hand Luke is my favorite prison movie and Stalag 17 squeaks by Greatest Escape for favorite POW movie.

Does Rambo II count as a POW movie?
