Shawshank seems to always steal the show - did anyone not like it?

Shawshank seems to always steal the show - did anyone not like it?

***SPOILER ALERT***

The first time I watched it, I had a long blink when other bloke 'fessed and was then killed.

So as far as I was concerned, not knowing the blink had happened, guilty bloke went to jail then escaped.

I couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

For me it's just a formulaic, colour-by-numbers film akin to drinking a pint of Fosters when you could be drinking a pint of Dark Star Cappuccino Stout.

 

[Husty]

Not enough love for Forest Gump here.

Are you truncating 'battleship potemkin'? You can't seriously think last year's based on a board game starring rihanna battleship deserves to be considered in you shortlist for top five films ever?

300

It's undeniably good, but not that good in my opinion.

 

[SeagullSarge]

My top five films of all time

1. Godfather Parts 1+2
2. Shawshank Redemption
3. Apocalypse Now
4. Full Metal Jacket
5. Goodfellas

Think theres a running theme here

 

[SeagullSarge]

I'm actually surprised with the lack of love for The Godfather!

That's what Under Siege (1992) - IMDb is for.
