Rolling Stone's 88th greatest album of all time
Great atmospheric live album. It is bizarre that one of the biggest selling live albums of all time is frequently interrupted to make prisoner visit announcements. Includes a number of songs seemingly written by inmates of the prison. Contrary to popular belief, Cash was never actually in prison (except overnight stays for misdemeanours), so with this album, the similarly well known San Quentin album and others, he spent significantly more time performing in prisons than incarcerated there.

Zac Efron's Ted Bundy (2 more)
The suspense
The prison scene at the end
Dang. I tell you what. Zac Efron was absolutely fantastic and equally as chilling as Ted Bundy. The writers and directors painted Bundy in a way that made me feel somewhat sympathetic for him and his fiance, despite knowing what he did to those women. The ending scene at the prison was absolutely chilling. Fantastic directing and acting. Zac Efron and Lily Collins shined, and I would go as far as to say that was Zac Efron's best performance ever.

The atmosphere is sufficiently claustrophobic, dark, and imposing
Disturbing and brutal portrayal

The Bank holiday classic. I didn't watch it for ages but once I did I found it was a pretty good story loosely based on a true story of P.O.W.s escaping from their prison camp during the second world war.
