A favourite film a day for 365 days: Escape from Alcatraz.
4 from Don Siegel. Clint Eastwood and three other convicts plot to escape from Alcatraz. I doubt whether the real characters were so likeable - you didn't get sent to The Rock for being a pussycat - but this film has you rooting for them right from the first long, wordless, opening sequence. You won't want to hit Pause unless major surgery is required.
