We’re having our annual holiday viewing of Stalag 17. My son (13) is not appreciating our riffs… although I’ve only made one “Peter Graves at the University of Minnesota” joke. This is only his 2nd time watching it. It’ll grow on him.

Edited to say that I ended up making a second Peter Graves at the University of Minnesota joke. He still did not approve.

I wrote a topic on this kind of film some time back.

POW, MIA, and Prison. Incarcerated in Movies, Television, and Books.

Behind bars, in prison, cut off from the outside world, what is it about being locked-up that’s so compelling? Why do we respond? What’s the appeal? Why do we keep returning to them? The popularity never dies. Some are even feel good movies. Any that stand out? [image]
