I'm ashamed to say that even though it's one of my all-time favorites, I had Jaws at #21. I need to rectify that soon, as I feel in love with a more recent movie but it really doesn't stand anywhere...

I prefer the original, theatrical version with the narration by Ford, which to me, only adds to the noir feeling of the movie. I really love film-noir and to take out the narration was a bad move...

I'm the same way with Robbins, and a few other actors. But I think The Shawshank Redemption is the exception to the Robbins rule for me. I thought he was perfect in his role and I never saw in him...
