For me it’s a tossup between Shawshank and Goodfellas. I think Goodfellas just edges it, but only just.

I’m staggered you haven’t seen some of these films tbh.

To be honest I tried to watch goodfellas years ago when I was younger but it was a little too dark for me at the time, if you've seen it you know what I mean and thats had a affect on me avoiding it.

The Shawshank Redemption never clicked with me and the trailer did not help, it made the movie look like any other boring 90s movie, I could never understand the hype so I kept pushing it back.

as for the others on the list, It could be I dont like the genre, the trailer was horrible or I just never got round to it.

The real-life German Commandant of the real-life Great Escape was Oberst Friedrich Wilhelm von Lindeiner-Wildau
From his Wikipedia page:
  • The Gestapo investigated the escape and, whilst this uncovered no significant new information, von Lindeiner was removed and threatened with court martial. He feigned mental illness to avoid imprisonment.
  • In February 1945, he was wounded by Russian troops advancing towards Berlin while acting as second in command of an infantry unit defending Sagan. He later surrendered to advancing British forces as the war ended.
  • Von Lindener was imprisoned for two years at the British prisoner of war camp known as the "London Cage". He testified during the British SIB investigation concerning the Stalag Luft III murders. Allied former prisoners at Stalag Luft III testified that he had followed the Geneva Conventions concerning the treatment of POWs and had won the respect of the senior prisoners. He was repatriated in 1947.
  • He died in 1963 at the age of 82, less than two months before the film The Great Escape was released.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
You could combine it with "A Fistful of Dollars" and "For a few Dollars More"

This.. I actually prefer A Fistful Of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, the latter being my favourite, To The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

I would also add High Plains Drifter.. Very good Clint Eastwood Western that is very eerie and supernatural for a Spaghetti Western.
 
Ive finally watched goodfellas another great movie, 7.5/10
after I got past the first 10mins which was the only part I had seen, it was great what you would expect from a gangster movie but agian I feel like it has been copied a number of times,

P.S I didn't know Samuel L Jackson was in it.

also watched knives out, what a load of **** 3/10
