Watched it again last night as our son had never seen it.

Still think it’s one of if not the best film we’ve ever watched.

Class of its own

What’s your favourite?

One of the favourites, depends on the mood we’re in. To kill a mockingbird, it’s a wonderful life and the warriors are others that we rewatch.

There and to the left a bit

Shawshank is definitely one of the best films ever - never tire of watching it, in fact must do so again soon.

Other films for me that fall into the "never tire of watching" category include:

The Green Mile

Gladiator

The Italian Job

The Great Escape

Goodfellas

Papillon (great call earlier poster

)

Silence Of The Lambs

But if I had to pick just one - Shawshank would be my desert island DVD

I loved it when I watched it at the pictures on its release, strange thing was it bombed out and the cinema was empty yet all these years later it seems like everybody's favourite film.

Sadly I haven't been able to sit through it since as the plot is integral to it's charm

It wasn’t rated to start with, no one went to see it. It was only through word of mouth, that it became a classic. It’s been a slowburner.

Red was originally supposed to be a red headed Irish man in the script. Morgan Freeman came up with the line “maybe it’s becuase im irish” during filming.

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone.
