35. The Green Mile
A beautiful and best adaptation of a Stephen King novel, this finely directed movie by Frank Darabont, takes us into a 1930's death row Southern prison, where a gentle giant, so sensitively portrayed by Michael Clarke Duncan, performs the miracle of healing.
The story is captivating, even has a mouse to go with a villian, and the cast ansamble is very well put together.
Tom Hanks is the head cellblock guard, who recognizes the giant's power to heal and believes in his innocence, and desperately tries to prevent his execution. David Morse, Bonnie Hunt,James Cromwell , Michael Jetter, Harry Dean Stanton round-off the cast.
Where the Shawshank Redemption is a great movie about friendship, Miracle Mile is a great movie about a miracolous man and the way he affects the lives of others.
In 2000, this movie was nominated for 4 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor ( Michael Clarke Duncan ) and Best Adapted Screenplay.
