An interesting little sub genre that I find interesting. What I like about these movies, at least the good ones, is that they usually revolve around the triumph of the human spirit, about how you can break a person, that sort of thing. Of course the king of this genre is The Shawshank Redemption, nothing else even comes close. One that I don't recall anyone ever talking about was The Last Castle which was pretty good. Green Mile was alright but I wasn't too crazy for it. And escape from Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood is another good one.
So list some of your favorites, and please, no lame jokes about pornos and or anal rape.
