Escape from Alcatraz (1979) - ZuGgY - Oct 2, 2014

Watched this movie last night, and I gotta say, even though I hate a lot of old movies, this one was fucking beast. It stars Clint Eastwood and tells a true story of 4 men trying to escape the high profile Alcatraz prison. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

100% agree. I saw it on Netflix, and I thought it was some random old shitty movie. I watched it and it's pretty sick.

I know. It so fucking exciting, especially as it's partly a mystery as to what happened to the men.

Great movie! I absolutely loved it and think you guys would too!

I've made a powerpoint presentation for my class once about Alcatraz last year. Pretty damn exciting.

There's a TV Series I watched a couple years back called Alcatraz that you may or may not be interested in.

I'm pretty sure it's a fictional series though, so maybe not. I still thought it would be worth linking none the less.

I loved that old ass movie. Maybe one and only old movie I have watched.

I remember buying this on DVD before it was on netflix. Brilliant movie. I love prison escape/violence movies.


* - MlAMl - Oct 3, 2014

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to give it a watch this weekend or next weekend. I'll update on what I think about it.


* - ZuGgY - Oct 3, 2014

@c0nnexion same here!

@mlami yup! Good luck and do let us know!

one of the all time classic movies, still has a lot of rewatchability in my opinon !

My parents took a trip to Alcatraz island when they went to NY. There's tours now.
This place has fascinated me for a while so I've done so much research.
