Guest imported_Europe Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 One of the best films ever made, Midnight Express, by Alan Parker 1978. Based on a true story of Billy Hayes getting caught up in the turkish system. Billy is played by Brad Davis and John Hurt is co-starring. http://www.john-bauer.com/movies.midnightexpress.jpg'> http://viasat.live.noname4us.com/images/archive/0083/m_008394.jpg'> http://www.prisma-online.de/image/33/mmfroebus_01696433.jpeg'> http://www.tvtome.com/images/people/71/2/28-6580-sm.jpg'> http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/410000/images/_411748_midnight.jpg'> Brad Davis and Alan Parker http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/naziprison/images/esca_billyhayes.jpg'> The real deal Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Tesseract Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 A great movie indeed, one of the most hard movies aswell...i heard that Turkey was greatly annoyed by the (true) represantation of their law and jail system...the movie had a crazy impact on tourism there..and yet..20so years after Turkey is still reported of great brutality and violation of human rights on their prisons...

CinchedWaist Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I saw this about 5 years ago around midnight. Left me with a very dark feeling despite the ending. perhaps i shall watch it again. I dislike how other movies ripped off the idea *Brokedown Palace with Claire Danes... *another one with Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche...i forget the name. Basically same kind thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
