Best movie ever made!
Added 3/18/2010
I believe this to be one of the finest movies ever made. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman give highly nuanced performances in a script written for the ages. You find yourself with a better understanding of the community within prisons from years ago, how institutionalized people can be and also how terrifying freedom can be after so many years within the walls.

I work a state prison and was told I really needed to see this movie. The product was in great shape... did not skip or pause or anything... was like new. The movie was very good... would recommend for anyone wanting something of a real life in prison.

An amazing movie. Easily one of the best movies made during the 90s and definitely one of the top 'prison' movies of all-time. Pretty much everything about this movie works and works extremely well!

My ALL-TIME favorite movie!
Added 2/19/2010
I was sold on this movie over 10 years ago and it still way outshines anything else, especially any other prison movie. I have seen it through from "start to finish" at least 12 or more times plus bits and pieces I have caught while channel surfing. Nominated for 7 Academy Awards this movie has a produced real cult following..(just Google it!!) This DVD played smoothly right away with no extra codecs needed or anything else on my Windows 7 64 bit Acer laptop using the built-in Windows Media Player. That has not always been true for WMP in Vista and XP. Required codecs had to be purchased or pirated and that really stunk IMHO. I met Morgan Freeman in 2003 in Clarksdale,MS at an art gallery grand opening and thanked him for sharing his talent with the world. He was as regular a guy as you or I and a very cordial gentleman. He is also part owner of the Ground Zero Blues Club there in Clarksdale. A great talent and a great guy as comfortable to be around as an old shoe. This is the
- #1 BEST PRISON MOVIE EVER - There is some graphic violence , graphic language and potentially offensive homosexual content FYI Which is EXACTLY the way prison really is (I know.)
You will love this movie , you'll never tire of it, you'll gift it to your friends (like I have done)and you'll be riveted from the very opening scene. The ENTIRE cast is so well placed which includes Tim Robbins, the warden, head guard and all the convicts. See for yourself. I can also recommend the 2 DVD special edition for great cast interviews and behind the scenes cool stuff. This is a classic movie and a keeper 110%

What a wonderful movie. I like how it turns into a feel-good flick, but not until the very end. Well done IMO
