I'll try again: Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

5. Midnight Express?

It's been awhile since I saw that one (if this your allusion)...but don't give up, keep throwing those allusions at me...I'm bound to get a few.

8. The culture of war is a big part of what I teach and research, so

I was looking for some good scenes that I might interject here and there.

9. Then this movie won't help you.

The only gladiator movies I know of are "Spartacus" and, of course, "Gladiator."

13. Spartacus (1960) by far the best.

The training camp where future gladiators are schooled is a great scene. And the arena battles have never been done better. This film should be a good resource for you.
