Best Classic Kidnapping Movies


Even better with Stockholm's Syndrome.... "Buffalo '66" is my favorite, but a better example would be "The Collector" (1967), where there is a lot of meaningful dialogue... and the screenplay (and acting) is 95% of a movie for me..

Raising Arizona?

As far as Stockholm Syndrome, how about that 10 Cloverfield Lane thing?

reply

12 Years a Slave; I suspect it will be considered a classic someday.

reply

Labor Day (2013)
Pet (2016)

(These are not classics but thought i would suggest them anyways)

reply

I’m going to nominate That Darn Cat (1965).

Though it’s been so many years since I’ve seen it, I can’t recall if there was a Stockholm Syndrome situation or not?

reply

Martyrs -2008
Funny Games- 1997
Eyes Without a Face-1960 ?

reply

Prisoners ( 2013 )
Secret In Their Eyes ( 2015 )

Not classics but definitely emphasize the theme of kidnapping.

Ransom with Mel Gibson It may not be a classic but it was good.

reply

It is a classic. A modern classic.

"Gimme back my son!"

I was hoping Gibson would use this quote at the climax in Passion. Ah, well...

"Blind Beast" (its sexual, too)
