It's a highly enjoyable, moving film and would probably make my own list in a weaker year. I do find that the tropes are laid on a little heavily - anyone who has seen any older prison movies will recognise moment after moment, that Tim Robbins' performance and character are on the dull side and that Bob Gunton's warden could have been portrayed with more dimension. But Morgan Freeman's performance is quite beautiful, as is Roger Deakins' photography, and overall it's pretty hard to resist.

Oh, it has it's flaws. But at the age I was the first time I watched it I wouldn't have noticed. And I'm thinking maybe we were all a little less cynical back in the 90's. Those kind of flaws didn't bother people in quite the same way. The extreme self awareness of the last two decades have made us more critical. Maybe? I don't know. I could be talking bullshit and it's just that I was young and didn't understand film that well.
