It's definitely up there for me, although I can't stand the racism in it.

Yea, but that's what makes the movie so great. The fact that Derek had so much hatred for non-whites, then to see what prison did to him, great story.

Yeah, but that bullshit doesnt really happen in real life lol, well generally.

I'm not sure he was making a point about the movie but about racism. I really hope this turns back into a movie thread. The racism debate is getting tiresome.

**** Spoiler Alert *************













One last point on the racism, in the end of the original script Derek shaves his head in the bathroom after Danny is killed.

Great movie. The racism is TOUGH to watch, but at the same time needed for the film. Easily on of my favorites, but probably just outside the top 20.
