Thanks for the great film recommendations. I’m a sucker for the 1970s escape-the-catastrophe films like Towering Inferno and especially The Poseidon Adventure. The heroes always manage to hold things together against the greatest of odds.
Ever seen "To End All Wars"? (Content-wise I recall there being strong language, but don't recall if any of it was blasphemy.) It's based on a memoir about POWs in a labor camp that, if I understood correctly, worked on the same railroad as the one in "Bridge Over the River Kwai" (which I really need to see sometime). In "To End All Wars" the prisoners discover that one guy has smuggled in a Bible and another still has his pocket copy of Plato or something along those lines, and they basically start a Great Books type of school in the camp. At least, that's what I seem to remember.
…I need to see that again. It's been around a decade.

Haha, yes!

The Escapist (2008) with Brian Cox. You can thank me later.
I really wanna see Hobson’s Choice now
