captive/prison based films ???

Friends can you please share some movie names in which the characters or the lead character is imprisoned in a building and have to escape or anything else like that? nearly 6 months back i had read about few films (had saved names but due to virus the names were deleted ) one of them had few characters in a building under cams and they had to live in that building for a specific time. There was another film in which few characters were forcefully prisoned in a building and they had to find a way out...(and one by one they were loosing there lives too)
sadly i have lost those names so can you please name few names (i might get those film names back too)

Regards

There was a cool movie a few years back called Unknown where a few dudes wake up in a warehouse, some of them bound, all of them injured, and none of them remembering who they were or what they are doing there. They are sealed inside the warehouse, trapped, and gradually some of them start remembering things correctly. Or do they?

Escape from Alcatraz
Cube
Die Hard
Some of the more recent torture horror, like Frontiere(s), Calvaire, Captivity
The Saw movie series has elements of "find a way to escape"

This might have been My Little Eye but they weren't really captured so much as volunteers in a reality experiment.

Of course, there are countless exploitation movies dealing with imprisonment and attempts to escape. The "Women in Prison" genre of the 70s and early 80s comes to mind. Jess Franco (director) had a few interesting ones.

Thanks a lot Uranium City and John@Bophe.
Yes SAW series has the same element and i have seen them so not counting SAW in the list. Have seen CUBE series too. I will surely check out the others if they are available. And the film UNKNOWN is one of movie names which i lost.
There were few more so i hope i might get some more names
Thanks a lot for sharing these names.
I just love the films with element of captivity/imprisonment

Edited: Just checked "my little eye". That is also one of my list ... looks like i will be having a great weekend
