Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Directed by: Stuart Rosenberg
Luke commits a petty crime. He then is sent to a prison farm where an obvious pecking order exists. What the warden, guards, and inmates soon find out is the internal power Luke has to survive and to escape. Can Luke escape or does fate have other plans for his unbreakable spirit?
This film is another you can find in the #1001filmsyoumustseebeforeyoudie list. I'd like to think it's because it has a lot of subtle themes. Luke ends up winning you over. His spirit just resonates with the human spirit and the desire to survive. It's a film I normally wouldn't go out of my way to watch but was surprised I actually liked it. This film might not be for everyone. 7.8/10
