best prison movies?


there is something special about prison movies, i don't think i've ever seen a prison movie i didn't like. they are totally captivating (i think that's the right word.) This movie should have IMDB "Memorable Quotes", this, and often classic movies, has much stronger dialoge than modern movies. i don't know.. but i think so.

in the evening, when the sun goes down,
that's when lucy comes around,
lucy, nobody excites me like you,
when you put on that smile, like only you can do,
i drop everything i'm holding, and run right to you,
girl, where did you get that spark from,
when you put on that cheer, you light up my home,
lucy, it always seems like you're gone for so long,
so quickly while you're here, let me fool on this and title it "lucy's song",
no other woman down this hall, can excite me like you do,
lucy, when you put on that smile, i can rarely feel blue,
yes, you glitter bright like the sun over the sea,
angel, you still shine, while other things have vanished away from me,
lively lucy, sometimes when the days are dull and dry,
you put on that wild smile, dirty thoughts pop up in my mind, and my blood pressure starts to raise,
so now i just wanna say this once more, before you go, away once again,
lovely lucy, when you put on that smile, you put my soul in flames,
so goodbye, i hope my sunshine won't be gone for too long,
as i deticate this to you, and titles this mess "lucy's song".

Cool Hand Luke is the best. The Last Castle was very good. Shawshank. But yeah, prison movies are usually pretty powerful when done well.

Remember Rabbit Ears with tin foil?

I agree CHL is the best...how about Brute Force?

Anyway, Carbine Williams is on TCM right now, glad I stumbled upon it!
