Or, how about you can start a whole new thread and talk about Shawshank all you desire? Or are you too busy?

Sedai, im glad youve come to your senses....What were you thinking?
I for one, love Shawshank. I know its a pretty common film for poeple to like, but i can understand why. Its a very good story told in a very good way. Morgan Freeman is legendary in that film, and his words are like gold. Although Robbins is a bit flat in it, i dont think this really matters as it just seems a part of Andy Dufrane. You cannot beat a good story, told in a great way, with an ending that warms you and makes you smile from ear to ear.

Na im not crazy about the movie. Im just saying you said it was barely a good movie. imdb 9.0/10.......(But you are entitled to your opinion) Yes iam too busy these days i got a job my working hours suck...

OH, well if the IMDb rates it highly, then it MUST be good. Why didn't you say so in the first place? I mean, what the heck was I thinking going against the cumulative votes of young internet geeks?


Thank you for that, kind sir. As long as my opinions don't contradict the mainstream, I will continue to have and voice them. Your parenthetical assurance has given me that strength.

i loved the film and the short story that it was based on..rita hayworth and the shawshank redemption...

shawshank doesnt deserve to be in a top 100. If you compare it to the vast amount of other prison movies that have been made it isnt close to living up to movies such as cool hand luke.
Hell, i even liked 'Life' better than Shawshank. I still think Tim Robbins best that year was The Hudsucker Proxy.

hehe, spoken like a true prodigy.

i missed out on the bottom posts and didnt see exactly how much ppl liked Shawshank and their reasons for liking it. If i hadnt seen Shawshank and read what Blob said about it i would prob avoid it for a very long time. what you said reminded exactly why i didnt like the movie. I think the term is... "painfully average".
boring over done story.
predictable.
sappy emotional techniques.
not the greatest of all acting.

i didnt hate the movie but its a movie you forget about in a few weeks.

well Imdb is what people think of a movie. Imdb tells me which movies are bad or good. i believe cause when i watch the movie it really was good. And the movies they say wasnt so good. I watch and they werent that good. But thats how i do it. And the people that reported me for expressing my opinion thanks alot

LordyLord, how long do we have to wait for a review, I am getting...... well.................

I for one, loved Shawshank. One main reason is that it was one of the first movies that my dad and I watched together that we both liked. I can still remember sitting down on the couch and my dad flipping the channels when along came TBS with the words "And up next is The Shawshank Redemption." I've loved it ever since.

Yes it was a great movie but please John lets try not to get off the thread here. But thank you for your Opinion. and one more thing John would you put Shawshank Redemption on your top 100 list?

If you put it like that....$@*# YOU!!! If you don't put it like that..yes it would be some where down in the 90s.

i think i like the second choice better

WELL YOUR %#$* OPINION DOESN"T MATTER. Or does it? No bud, I'm just playing with ya like YOUR MOM was with me last night, TWICE!!! OHHHHHH!! No, I'm just kidding. Or am I?

To: You Know Who
From: Your favorite bud
Subject: You know what

I would first like to say "Thanks for the compliment. It was so nice." Second, YOUR MOM. That's called harmless teasing among teenagers but, your probably an old fart anyways so you would get that. Anyhoo, think before you act. It reflects you reputation and right now you look like the south end part of a north bound mule.

Signed,
Your loving, caring, and tickled friend

I'll Take you Advice John

Quotational hilarity! Love it Holden!
