Le Trou

It is a prison movie about a group of people that are stuck in a cell. It's a long movie, it is more than 2 hours. And it's passionate; the group of people are digging a tunnel, and then there is a newcomer that enters their cell, so they are suspect of him, and the end is absolutely superb. And it's a movie made with almost nothing. It was exciting and had great pieces of cinema.

I really enjoyed that one as a child. The character of Paul Newman, he was jailed for something stupid, for breaking parking machines, or something like that. It was a very, very exciting movie.

American Me

Okay this other American movie that I enjoyed a lot. It was directed by Edward James Olmos and I think that the title was American Me, about this Latin gang inside a prison. It was very, very, very strong.

The Great Escape

I LOVE this movie. It's an adventure movie for me and I've seen it 5,6,7 times? It's this classic movie where you put the television on, and even if the movie started half an hour ago, you have to sit there, you have to watch the movie! You know there are some movies that last 3 hours, and you swallow it like a candle. It's great.
