Shawshank Redemption
Is on Channel 4 if you have never seen it yet. (Probably edited though)
One of the best movies of all time - apart from The Green Mile of course - which must also be a contender for the best ever. Notice the conection??

Yep great film and one of my all time favourites.
Everytime I see Clancy Brown now I can't stop thinking about Mr Krabs in Spongebob Squarepants though

I've rarely been so moved by the twist in the story that King pulled out at the conclusion of The Green mile tale.

As I say they are both neck and neck for the best ever yarns committed to film. The fact that they are both prison stories by Stephen King is purely coincidental, though significant.

Ah but at the same time over on Film 4 was "The Usual Suspects" not a prison film I know but a quality film and must be a regarded as a class act.
One of those films that really has you guessing all the way through.
As far as Shawshank and Green Mile go - I could not split them, both brilliant films.

The Great Escape
Scum
There are several films that could stake a claim to the best ever prison movie.
Green Mile? Got halfway through the book and never bothered with the rest, very, very boring. Besides I'm not a fan of Hanks.
