Must See, Top 10 Movies of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2004)

This movie makes my Top 10 without blinking. It is one of three movies in existence that has broken me down to tears. SPOILERS WITHIN! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. I'll try to keep them light.
This is not your typical Stephen King horror. It's more science-fiction esque. It's about John Coffey, a large black man who has been imprisoned for double homicide. He is brought to "The Green Mile," death row in a small penetentiary.
John Coffey is no average human being. He's a little dim, but he holds a huge secret. He is a healer of sorts, and he demonstrates this ability in instances that will not be easily forgotten. He does things that are simply miraculous, as well as things that are simply interesting and thought provoking.
Some people have been turned off to this movie because of rumors of a gruesome execution scene. It's not gruesome, but it is shocking. To explain, I must introduce Percy. Everyone hates Percy. He's a stuck-up kid who only works at the prison because of his dad, who has a high ranking government position. Basically, anyone who messes with Percy, Percy'll get that guy fired, good man or not.
Now, Percy has explained to him that the electric chair has one very important piece, and that's the sponge that's placed on the person's head who's executed, to make the electricity course through their brain. Percy gets the bright idea to NOT wet the sponge, causing the executed to catch fire, and that in itself is a horrible sight.
Percy gets his dues, and a lot of things are resolved happily; the ending still has entire theatres in tears most of the time, though. That, you will have to see for yourself. Trust me, it'll be worth it.
