For some reason Shawshank has always avoided me – probably presumed it wouldn’t be my cup of tea.

Just watched it and what a great filum.

That is all.

Im watching it on +1.
Must be the tenth time Ive watched it.
One of the worlds greatest flicks IMO.

One of the all time greats IMHO. Always meant to get round to reading the novel but haven’t.

I read the book when it was first published but I’ve never got around to watching the movie.

def. top three of all time..

Yeah agreed, it’s a little belter of a film.

I’ve just watched The Hulk (the Ed Norton one). That was somewhere between mediocre and all right.

shawshank
lebowski
great escape

Shawshank
Get Carter
Leon

must just be me
but I thought it was overly sentimental pap
its well made pap but pap nonetheless

(at uni in the late 90s was my ‘favourite’ film when out on the pull because every girl agreed it was wonderful )

Aye, a little too sentimental for me too.

Has Darabont directed much else?…ah just checked IMDb…oh dear, he did The Green Mile too, and the Mist. Not the best IMO.

one of my favourite films.
