Von Ryan's Express (1965) : An American POW leads a group mainly British prisoners to escape from the Germans in WWII. Must watch classic war based film :)
Yes Schindlers List was based on Oskar Schiller saving Polish POWS (based on real incident) that was also a real good movie.
Have you seen Pianist? If no please watch. :)
I saw 'Driving Miss Daisy' a few days back. Was a good movie. Its about an old Jewish woman and her African-American chauffeur in the American South have a relationship that grows and improves over the years.
Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy have done a great job.
Guys watch "The Shawshank Redemption". I personally feel its one of the best movies ever made!
Other good ones are Coach Carter, Independence Day; will keep updating this thread as and when i remember more!

Yes, The Shawshank Redemption is good but my personal fav. are The Pianist(2002), The Bicycle Thief(1948) and 12 Angry Man (1957
The Pianest was based on this Piano player : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Władysław_Szpilman
After watching The Pianist I understand how's life was like in World War I and II Era. Pathetic and full of crisis
A group of inmates attempt a daring escape from the notorious Alcatraz prison island, from which no-one had managed to escape before. Based on a true story.
This film is about a convict with multiple successful escape history attempting to escape from Alcatraz.
It is easy to make a prison escape film to be distracted by fights, torture and bribery, but in "Escape from Alcatraz" the film stays highly focused. It tells the escape from planning to execution. It is well presented and developed. I do care for the characters and their stories. Several scenes remind me instantly of "Shawshank Redemption", and I wonder why this film is not as highly regarded. Or otherwise, why "Shawshank Redemption" is so highly regarded when some scenes of it are direct copies of "Escape from Alcatraz".
