Shawshank
green mile
dancer in the dark -- hardly a prison movie but it ends there and there are some good singing and dancing scores.

The best ones have been named but another really fun prison movie is THERE WAS A CROOKED MAN... with Kirk Douglas and Henry Fonda.

There are a couple of comedies that really are decent:
Stir Crazy
The Longest Yard (1974)

Felon (2008)That's my clear cut #1 and within my Top 26 movies in general. it's more brutal/violent than your typical prison type of movie for sure as it's sorta the average joe caught up in a bad situation, which send him to prison, and then he has to do what he has to do to survive in prison. p.s. hell, you might as well include the directors other movie as one of the best also... Shot Caller (2017)

Can't believe nobody mentioned Bad Boys (1983).

Can't believe nobody mentioned Bad Boys (1983). Is that the one with Sean Penn? |

I've always been a fan of Blood In Blood Out. The Shawshank Redemption is of course an excellent movie.

For me, Escape from Alcatraz will never be topped.
I love it now and I remember watching it as a child. It was frequently a regular Saturday afternoon movie back in the 198Os, when all I had was the 3 networks and 2 independents before FOX acquired them.
