Okay, time to start another one. This time we name movies that feature PRISON.

Not just a holding cell (Blazing Saddles), a temporary chain-link-fence camp (The Siege), or little beepy necklaces that blow up if you wander away (The Running Man), but a real prison with real bars and real nasty people within. The prison has to have bars, guards, a central character must spend more than a day in it, and there must be other prisoners besides the important characters (prison extras).

Movies where the characters are shown in prison at the end of the film count, even if they're only show there for that one final scene.

The usual rules apply - but if you know one, post it right away. Waiting for 23 hours and 55 minutes just makes the end stage drag out. Yes, I know, I did it too (sorry, Joker), but let's try to keep this one rolling right up until the final bell.

And, for the sake of completeness, here are the current standings:
Charlie - Five. (Clowns, Locations in titles, Dinosaurs, Animal transformations, Cross-dressing)
Oz - Also five. (Pirates, First and last letter the same, Numbers in titles, Alpha and Omega, Musicals)
Paler - Two. (End of the World, Zombies)
Lady of G - Two. (Pets, Personal names in title)
Tappy - Two. (Christmas, Colors in title)
Me - Two. (Aliens, Witches)

We've got some catching up to do.

I'll start things off with Sylvester Stallone's magnum opus, Lock-Up. Have fun!

Oh good one Aries..

And hey Charlie, Woohoo go us.. {ok nothing worse than a poor winner}

Ah, neglected to mention that movies where the characters are shown in prison at the end of the film count, even if they're only show there for that one final scene. I'll edit that in to the original post.

If they have to spend more than a day in prison how does showing up in prison at the end of the film count then ??? Just asking, or do we just know they will be there for a long time ?

Generally, if they're tossed in prison at the end, it's understood that they'll be there for a while. The same goes for if the movie opens with someone in jail; we have to assume they've been there for more than just one day. The "more than a day" rule was to weed out whatever movies have people taking, like, tours of prisons, or just walking through one.

That's my justification, anyway; really it's a device by which I can open the game up some more, to allow movies like The Blues Brothers.

the greatest prison escape ever
