    The Great Escape gets my vote, but Victory is also a movie I love.

    I'm glad someone else watched that as a kid! We all repeatedly tried to do the Pele bicycle kick, it's a miracle none of us got hurt doing it.

    here's the ending in all its '80s glory:



    dammit, it has swastikas (because we're playing the nazis, right?), gotta watch on youtube

    Harold and Kumar go to Guantanamo bay, hahahah! For the poll I went with John Carpenter, he's my favorite director ever.

    Poll choices were sardonic when juxtaposed with other Hangout movie polls right now.

    boy, I watched Escape from Alcatraz not too long ago, and it was LONG and BORING. and you already know what's going to happen. just didn't work for me.

    Shawshank certainly holds up.

    Yeah, older movies have way, way too much exposition and much too little action.

    My favorite would be Papillion. I haven't seen the 2017 remake, the original great thou.
