He had only seen the first little part of the movie on TV and turned it off.

I think I will show him this thread, so don?t put any spoilers in here, please.

Dear glen's friend

I learnt a new word today and i thought it would be suitable to use here, it's called ignorant.

You ignorant bastard, go watch that movie, NOW.


Sincerely,

Shawshank Redemption was like, hope personified. An amazing movie, which makes me wonder why I don't own a DVD of it. I think I will check online and buy a DVD of it. I've watched a lot of movies, very few do I hold to the level of Shawshank Redemption.

Definitely on e of the few movies I never get tired of seeing over and over again. Will have to buy the DVD too, Wally World has it for 13 but I'm a cheap bastid and am waiting for them to drop it even lower.

Shame, shows politics at work in Hollywood. There is NO WAY that Pulp fiction was better.

PULP FICTION BEAT OUT SHAWSHANK?!?!?! That's insane! PF is an ok movie, maybe even good. Shawshank is awesome. That's unbelievable.

I agree!! PF was okay.. Shawhank is way better!! I can never get sick of watching it

The Shawshank Redemption showed me that all I need to do to get out of prison if I ever am in prison is be an accountant. :)

Pulp Fiction didn't beat out Shawshank Redemption -- Forrest Gump beat both of them. Shawshank Redemption was a wonderful movie, and I enjoyed it more than Forrest Gump, but Forrest Gump certainly was more deserving of an Oscar.

Yep,
Pulp Fiction did win for Best Original ScreenPlay while Shawshank was shut out by Forrest Gump in Best Pics and Best Adapted Screenplay.
I enjoyed Forrest Gump and Shawshank but I feel Shawshank is the best drama I have ever seen.
pain, betrayal, brutuality, failure, hope, trumphiant and ultimately, redemption.

Sure they can, it is called preference, if you only have $7.00 and can only see one, the BEST one would be the one that got your $7.00. :D
I was too young when they came out to have to worry about that ;)

That makes me feel old.:(
