Best prison movie?


I know most will say "Shawshank Redemption" but I'm going with "Cool Hand Luke." The reason being Paul Newman. It's not fair, really, but Newman, gorgeous as he was, delivered performance after performance that outshined even those striking looks of his.

Cool Hand Luke - a true classic chain gang movie
Shawshank a great prison movie

Now , for comedy , The Longest Yard ( Original)
Brother , Where Art Thou

Newman had many roles that were more deserving of an Oscar than Color Of Money - and Cool Hand Luke was definitely one of them
