Having worked in a prison I looked at this list and realized the only one on it that I have seen was Papillon which I saw when I was somewhere between age 12 and 14.

I remember it being quite good but I wouldn't have the guts to watch such a movie now. I just don't dig the violence anymore.

Go see Shawshank Redemption right now...arguably the greatest movie ever made...
