Movies about Unjust Punishment or Lots of Lonliness
 

2 movies I like deal with this a lot:

Count of Monte Christo and Shawshank Redemption. The movies don't have to have a prison scene, I guess its just prison seems to have those 2 topics.

Any other good movies that deal primarily with Unjust Punishment or lots of Lonliness?

(besides Castaway)

Thanks

Oldboy (2003). I can't vouch for the remake.

No one can...

Gravity is the most modern one I can think of... but the others recommended above ^^ are all great choices.


Also, try Sunshine (2007), not quite what you're after but close.

If I ever meet Spike Lee I'm gonna smash his head with the Oldboy hammer.

Probably a common response now...

It's the best prison movie.
And I highly recommend both of these.

Oof! I got a cracker... Quills (2000)... Geoffrey Rush's groundbreaking role.

The Hurricane - unjust imprisonment
Lost in Translation - lonliness/isolation
Moon - lonliness/isolation (im sure a lot of space movies, or stranded at sea movies)
The Green Mile - unjust imprisonment

Human Centipede 3 is about the unjust punishment of many prisoners. It's not as good as the first, but I think it's better than the second.
