2.

Awesome movie. Many people consider it to be "cliche" following generic prison plots, but it was based on King's novel, which came out in the 80's people! Also, Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins, and James Whitmore (as Brooks) were brilliant.

Brooks suicide note was one of the saddest scenes in a movie I've ever seen.
