his name is Cyrus Grissom aka Cyrus the
virus these are the guys best known for
getting taken to the slammer
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie convicts mud and gummy mud for
this list we’re looking at the most
memorable and/or iconic fictional
convicts who whether or not they’re
guilty must be sentenced for a crime in
their films so that means we’re
excluding Charles Bronson from 2008
Bronson as he is based on a real-life
person and is not a fictional character
names Charles Bronson number 10
Libby Parsons double jeopardy yeah I
just have to check in with my parole
officer first being framed for murder
might be alright as long as nobody
believes you did it why aren’t you
listening to me I am innocent accused of
murdering her husband during a yacht
trip Libby is woefully arrested after
being caught with a bloody knife by the
Coast Guard
this is nowhere near the end for our
tenacious heroine as she discovers her
husband may have framed her in a life
insurance scam you shoot me they’ll give
you the gas chamber no they won’t
it’s called double jeopardy I learned a
few things in prison Nick after being
paroled six years later she ultimately
joins up with Tommy Lee Jones and is all
set to take her husband down I learned a
few things in prison Nick I could shoot
you in the middle of Mardi Gras and they
can’t touch me
there’s an ex law professor I can assure
you she is right you know what they say
hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I
don’t want to kill you Nick I just want
you to suffer like I suffered number
nine
Captain John Patrick Mason the rock
imprisoned without charges Sean Connery
proves you can be convicted of anything
regardless of whether or not you’re a
bond actor but I don’t know you that’s
what range right after being committed
to Alcatraz for 30 years the 60 year-old
convict was the only person to ever
escape the San Francisco island when he
did so in 1963 via a series of
underground tunnels I’m here because a
special situation exists that we feel
you might be allowed this with no what
might that be
impressive enough already his classy yet
witty attitude greatly benefits an
already awesome character holding
nothing back in his performance we can
imagine Connery went home with the prom
queen after shooting this action flick
your best losers always whine about
their best winners go home and the prom
queen number eight Roxie Hart Chicago
lights murder jazz in their rendition of
the
tango this musical has it all and Roxie
Hart is trying to take it only even more
based on the musical of the same name
which in turn was very loosely based on
real events Chicago is the story of the
struggle for Fame and riches and the
lengths to which one will go to build
one’s name meaning what meaning don’t
let him have the spotlight in Roxy’s
case she takes a murder rap and turns it
into overnight notoriety stealing the
spotlight from her fellow inmate on
murderesses row Velma Kelly hope the
fountain hurt the baby from tampering
with evidence to faking a pregnancy
Roxie does whatever it takes to get out
of the slammer and keep her name in the
headlines
number seven Ulysses Everett McGill oh
brother where art thou
he’s a man not necessarily of constant
sorrow but one with a simple plan I have
no plan
but that heartless sound like you
escaping from a chain gang at Parchman
farm in 1937 Miguel and his band of
friends chased down the treasure that he
claims he stole from an armored car are
you gonna do with you share the chase
McGill’s adventurous nature takes him
all across america and even has him and
his friends going so far as to
masquerade as a band called the Soggy
Bottom boys creativity and charisma are
the traits that make this convict a
favorite of ours
number six Cameron Poe Conair Nicolas
Cage is certainly no stranger to playing
convicted criminals after his
character’s arrest in raising Arizona
and subsequent baby stealing cage takes
to the skies as a former Army Ranger
convicted of manslaughter and excessive
violence in this 97 action flick welcome
to Conair sentenced to seven to ten
years Poe is paroled after eight years
and set to be released after riding in
the famous jailbird aircraft nothing
except there’s somehow managed to get
every creep and freak in the universe
onto this one plane luckily those acts
of excessive violence come back to help
him fend off would-be attackers
including John Malkovich’s Cyrus the
virus to be honest though we’re more
surprised by the fact that he wasn’t
taken down for excessive hair what do
you think I’m doing data almost hidden
today
number five dr. Hannibal Lecter The
Silence of the Lambs
monie we certainly have an appetite for
this famous psychiatrist and he probably
has an appetite for us too
as a committed high-class serial killer
Hannibal Lecter takes a new spin on the
style of slasher villains people will
say where and not satisfied by merely
killing his victims he chose down on
them to the tune of majestic violins a
census taken once tried to test me I ate
his liver with some fava beans and a
nice Chianti bravado and class
accompanies Anthony Hopkins performance
of a genius movie convict who’s managed
to escape prison multiple times I do
wish we could chat longer but I’m having
an old friend for dinner
number four John coffee the Green Mile I
was 44 the year that John Coffey walked
the green eyes big and bold is the first
impression we get of this convicted sex
offender but that’s before you fully see
and understand him you see for yourself
cold Mountain penitentiary is filled to
the brim with potentially memorable
movie convicts such as the violently
psychotic Wild Bill but it’s the shy and
soft-spoken John Coffey that wins our
hearts with his magical healing powers
his attitude is unlike anything you’d
expect as he even refuses to leave
prison because of the hurt and pain that
befalls the world do you have anything
to say before sentence is carried out up
source water hail he’s one of the more
tender convicts on our list and we
wouldn’t have it any other way
lots of folks here number 3 Andy
Dufresne the Shawshank Redemption since
I am innocent of this crime sir I find a
decidedly inconvenient that the gun was
never found
accused of murdering his wife this quiet
banker is committed to one of the most
intimidating prisons depicted on the big
screen Shawshank State Penitentiary
welcome to Shawshank played by Tim
Robbins Andy Dufresne is never shown
murdering his wife or denying it and as
such audiences go through most of the
film never truly knowing why did you do
it holding on to the hope of his freedom
for years on end
Andy brings about friendship community
and companionship to his fellow man
inside Shawshank and proofs himself a
very clever man changing the prison’s
landscape forever number 2 max Cady Cape
Fear convicted of sexual assault this
Robert DeNiro character is released with
a simple idea on his mind
revenge 14 years ago I was forced to
make a commitment to an 8 by 9 so now
you want to be forced to make a
commitment based on the 1962
psychological thriller which was in turn
based on John Dee McDonald’s novel the
executioner’s Cape Fear sees Katie out
to take down his defense attorney who is
responsible for burying evidence during
his trial and ultimately sending him to
prison
right then prison you like white trash
piece of shit so focused is Katie on his
goal of justice but he has his outlook
tattooed on his back
an insane megalomaniac who loves a good
smoke De Niro brings a true hardiness to
the evils of his character which makes
max Cady hard to forget before we unveil
our number one pick here are a few
honorable mentions

brothers waiting 12 years of it in

no matter who does but me Oh y’all are
you government number one dr. Richard
Kimble the fugitive you’re suggesting I

headed to death row he’s caught up in a
prison break attempt aboard a bus before
his execution which lands him on the run
from the cops and in pursuit of his own
