A French film, came out in the past year. Stunning performance by the lead actor, progresses from simple hoodlum to Scarface while he is inside.

the good lands, the bad lands, the any where you may want me lands

Definitely Shawshenk and The Green Mile, but can't believe that nobody has mentioned King Rat or Papillon. Two great tales centered around incarseration, though King Rat by James Clavall is a far better read than the film.

Like Chezza, we've just realised ourselves how much we like prison films. Have seen every film mentioned on this thread and there isn't a bad one among them.

We'd like to add Bronson to the list and although not technically a prison film, we do have a soft spot for Con Air(Prison Aircraft).

'Undisputed' is a good one ; based loosely on Mike Tyson i believe.

Check it out if you haven't done so already
