The Shawshank Redemption

[KidRock]

I just watched this movie.. I had to have seen it over 15 times and I still get chills down my spine at the end during those quotes. I love it. It is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time for sure. It is also one of the few movies to really leave an impression on me.

"Get busy living..or get busy dieing...thats damn right"

 

[Ikerous]

Awesome movie, definitely one of my favorites too. I'm glad they show it on tv all the time ^_^ It gets kind of boring when that one kid comes along to get his GED and then gets shot, but other than that its pretty good at keeping you watching considering how long it is. (Even after the twentieth time seeing it)

man's gone and vanished like a fart in the wind!

 

[oldagerocker]

Great film

 

[Baal]

Yea I watched it very recently for the first time...what an awesome movie!

So good...

 

[Sprafa]

It's a great film.

I watched it on the theathers a long time ago (it was nearly empty), it's now #2 on IMDB.

The director that made this made The Green Mile, another great Stephen King novel.

 

[Dalamari]

The ending is the greatest part, where Red goes and meets Andy in mexico, cool movie overall.

 

[Bad^Hat]

The first time I saw the ending to this

Spoiler

I was literally grinning and laughing my ass off. Every trial the main character faces you feel his pain, and every time he overcomes it, for every victory he achieves you can't help but cheer, especially the ending. Possibly one of the best endings of all time, and definitely one of my favourite movies.

 

[Bad^Hat]

People, PLEASE use the spoiler tags, some people haven't seen it and it's really easy to ruin something just by scrolling past some of this stuff. It's happened to me a few times on these forums.

 

[SLH]

Agreed (especially with above post), it's one of my fav films as well.

I like Memento a lot as well, although it's a different kind of film.

 

[h00dlum]

This is also in my top5...awesome movie...#2 on imdb.com top250..thats an acomplishment

 

[Harryz]

The movie is brilliant - bought it on DVD. I'm currently reading the book aswell, the movie is very true to the book so far, except in the book there are a lot more Wardens. I would really recommend the book, some of Stephen's King finest work.

 

[el Chi]

One of my favourite films in the entire world. Morgan Freeman's a god. One of the few films I've cried at. But in a manly lumberjack kind of a way.

Memento owned.

Okay... what am I doing... I'm running... oh, am I running after this guy? *runs over to him* *guy shoots at him* Nope. *runs the other way*

You like the Boosh!?

You like the Boosh!?

The who? I just liked the quote

 

[el Chi]

The who? I just liked the quote

Oh ok! It's this really peculiar but utterly hilarious British comedy set in a zoo. I doubt many people watched it, so I doubt there'll be a second series, sadly.

But yeah, it's a good quote

 

[Bad^Hat]

What was it called? Boosh? I seem to recall seeing a british comedy set in a zoo not too long ago, sounds familiar.

The Mighty Boosh. And yeah it wasn't too long ago. The two main characters were called Howard Moon (who the quote is in reference to) and Vince Noir.

Ha, I watched that once. There was a reason why it was on BBC 3.

Actually, I can't remember whether I found it funny or not.

Yeah all the obscure stuff gets shifted ont' Beeb3. If it does ok then maybe BBC2.
I can understand why you wouldn't like it. It can be very obtuse and you either love it or hate it, I think.

Just to get back on topic for a few minutes...
The Shawshank Redemption is going to be re-released to the big screen for its 10 year aniversary. Either this month or next month I think. So get out there and see it the way it was meant to be seen!

damn, it's true, IMDB confirms this. I hope the new DVD comes out soon. Lucky me don't have the old version.

 

[lePobz]

Had it on DVD for ages ... loved it since the first time I saw it

Correct. That was one of my favorite moments in the film.
I love the way it all falls into place at the end as well.

 

[nofx]

This is movie to me is one of my favorites also, on the list next to Donnie Darko, The Matrix, and Fightclub, Lord of the ring series.. really just depends onmy mood ot enjoy to the movie./

 

[Sparta]

Memento is the coolest movie i've seen in a few years. I saw it on TV the other day and it was awesome, reminded me of Fight Club

 

[hero]

what absolutely makes this movie like awesome is the narratives with the old suicidal guy and the black guy

i love the piano background music during that part
just so sad and awesome

ya

One of my favorite films too, everything about it is done so well. And I love his escape. I wont buy it on DVD though cause I'd watch it too much and would probably get bored of it, which I don't want to do.

Yeah, that's the one. Haven't seen it in a while... should get it out again sometime.

Yeah, I'd rather it that way, too. Like whenever a song I like becomes a single I boycott the radio for two weeks

Anyway aside from the first time I saw it on video, it's been on TV twice and I watched it right through both times. Might have to check it out again if it comes to cinemas.

 

[Raziaar]

I'm watching this movie right now as we speak, for the second or third time. I think its a great movie!

 

[Locust]

I like american Beauty as well. It was a film that made me appreciate life a little more than I usually do.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Heheh, this movie is on TV tonight. Seen it enough though, still one of my favourite movies of all time.
