Shawshank and Green Mile.

n7of9, I thought you'd be too young to remember that stupid show? (and I thought it was in the 70's)

I like Green Mile.

All the Top nominations are gone,so I`ll nominate one of my favs from the archives:


As for Wardens,none are really standing out, but as he probably won`t get a mention otherwise,I`ll go for Eddie Alberts whimpering ego-manic in The Mean Machine.

Papillon and Cool Hand Luke tie for first place with me.

Best Warden? Eddie Albert in The Longest Yard squeeks by with the victory.

Shawshank redemption is an awesome prison movie, that I could watch over and over again, not sure for a warden....
