Logline: In the 1930′s, Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) and fellow prison guards notice that a prisoner—a burly black man accused of the rape and murder—possesses an extraordinary gift. And along the way, they’re increasingly convinced (at odds with the townsfolk) of the gentle giant’s innocence.
Memorable Moments: When John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) is brought from jail to the warden’s (Hal Moore/James Cromwell) home to (hopefully) ‘cure’ his bedridden wife, nothing short of a miracle is performed…much to the surprise of the angry, skeptical warden.
Why People Love It: For one, it’s based on a best-selling Stephen King novel. Two, the actors/and performances (namely that of Clarke) prove their abilities with flying colors.
Best Quote: John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan): “You can’t hide what’s in your heart.
