The Green Mile
No consensus on The Green Mile. Across 69 matchups it sits at 49% — exactly where 50% puts you, winning and losing in equal measure. A deeply emotional film that asks for three hours of patience and repays it with genuine devastation. The runtime is the bracket liability — voters admire it, but admiration fades when the alternative is something that delivers in half the time. It ranks behind the other Frank Darabont film tracked here. At 1.9s average, voters make up their minds quickly — a gut preference rather than a weighed comparison.
Synopsis
A supernatural tale set on death row in a Southern prison, where gentle giant John Coffey possesses the mysterious power to heal people's ailments. When the cell block's head guard, Paul Edgecomb, recognizes Coffey's miraculous gift, he tries desperately to help stave off the condemned man's execution.
