With real-life hijack drama Captain Phillips hitting UK cinemas this week, there’s never been a better time to look back at the greatest hostage movies.
From hard-hitting suspense flicks to entertaining thrillers, WOW247's Mark Butler negotiates his way through nine of the very best.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
I don't think Munich should be on the list. A fabulous movie, but I wouldn't categorize it as a hostage movie. It's more about what happened after the Munich hostage-taking.
i can think of better hostage movies that are not in the list; FUNNY GAMES...that was a more suspenseful film although it is a foreign film, it should have been more popular and high rated. other films that should be in the list are; panic room, taken, speed, saw and misery.
