Avis sur le produitMidnight Express (DVD, 1998, 20th Anniversary Edition Closed Caption)

unforgettable movie

I saw this movie when it first came out. I lived near the person this movie his about, Billy Hayes. I worked with someone who went to school with him. I remember being intrigued by the movie, and it really made an impression on me. Now that I have a 32 year old son I wanted him to see it. It's a very exciting movie, and it was done very well. Thank you.Lire l'avis complet...

Midnight Express

Good film about what happens when you try to smuggle drugs and get caught in all places, Turkey! This is based on a true story and is well acted throughout. The score is excellent as is Parker's Direction. Look for the Alien chestburster guy as an old drug addict!Lire l'avis complet...

You must do what you must do.

Saw it as a teenager and then again in my 60's and it had the same impact and now I get to show it to my children so they can know the penalties in other countries for criminal activity are beyond severe.

Great movie NOT FOR CHILDREN MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY

Not for children. Mature audiences ONLY!! I read the book as well many years ago and it is way different from how the movie is. But anyway it's suspenseful. Brad Davis (RIP) was awesome.

Don't let this movie get by...

I remember the news headlines, but never followed the story in full. Recently after catching the "cut" TV version, finally decided to see the movie as written/directed. So glad I did !!!
NOTE: Read the book "Midnight Express" by Billy Hayes, first. Out of print, but still available. Also read: "After Midnight"; the life of Brad Davis. Also out of print, but relatively easy to find/purchase.Lire l'avis complet...

Midnight Express (1998,DVD)

This film has been at the top of my favorites since 1978. Unfortunately, it was overlooked by the Academy. Brad Davis (now deceased), gave a memorable performance as did William Hurt and Dennis Quaid. All three deserved the Oscar! Based on a true story, this film holds your interest from begining to end. I am sure that the Turkey Tourist Bureau cringed when they saw it as it totally alienated me from ever wanting to visit that country. I am very happy to have this title in my library.Lire l'avis complet...

Old-Romans Take on MIDNIGHT EXPRESS

Definitely a classic that stands the test of time! The movie was completed in 1978 and still has a riveting effect on anyone that watches it from start to finish. Imagine yourself being thrust into a Turkish Prison with an initial sentence of about 4 years only to have it change within days of your release to near LIFE SENTENCE! This is what happened to Billy Hayes after attempting to smuggle hashish out of Turkey. The sadistic prison guard and Billy's ups and downs with fellow inmates make this a FANTASTIC WATCH. Not for the Feint of Heart!Lire l'avis complet...

Think twice

Saw this when it first hit theaters in '69 Have a friend who this could relate to and wanted him to see it before he did anything foolish. I don't know about him but it sure would scare me think twice
