The link is not surprisingly related to Lindsey Lohan's incarceration, but the slide show runs through some really good prison movies.

I have never laughed any harder than the first time I saw The Blues Brothers. The Shawshank redemption is without a doubt a wonderful movie, but Cool Hand Luke is on my all time favorite lists for movies of any category, and tops my list of prison movies.

How about you guys?

Shawshank is my favorite. I could watch that movie on an infinite play loop.
2nd would be Bad Boys with a young Sean Penn.
3rd is Escape from Alcatraz.

I've got Cool Hand Luke and Papillon in my netflix que.

Escape from Alcatraz

Cool Hand Luke is my all time favorite followed by The Rock with Sean Connery.

The Longest Yard, The Green Mile, Escape From Alcatraz, O Brother where art thou, Cool Hand Luke.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Cool Hand Luke and O Brother are two of my favorite movies, period. The line from Raising Arizona when Goodman describes his escape as "being released on his own recognizance" is hilarious, too.

Shawshank has to be my favorite followed closely by Cool Hand Luke and Brubaker with Robert Redford.
