I don't, I pretty much hate that movie. But Brian De Palma is a director I actively dislike. The only movie of his that I really love is Phantom of the Paradise.VinylGuy wrote:You dont like Carrie??

Re: The Shawshank Redemption
Carrie is in no way terrible. I think De Palma's made some awesome films, though I haven't seen anything he's made in about 30 years.
(Also, I've never seen Shawshank Redemption. I doubt I will.)

Maybe if it's on TV one day and I'm home. With a broken leg. And I can't reach the remote.

If you'd like me to break your leg, turn on TNT, and leave the remote on the roof of your house, I can do that for you.

Re: The Shawshank Redemption
"Shawshank Redemption" is a good story, and a fine film, but massively overrated. Number 1 film of all time? Not in my book. Not even close.

It's not in my Top 10, but I can understand the profound love for it.

It's a very human movie in the sense that even the most hardened person is moved by the story and climax.

Re: The Shawshank Redemption
I'll tell you one thing. It's sure better than "Gilmore Girls".

Then I would strongly recommend the Homicide episode entitled "Colors."
It is an eye opening look at the subtle racism in america. A very heavy Pembleton/Bayliss episode.

Re: The Shawshank Redemption
Watched a couple minutes of this earlier.
It's good and IS overrated. It's a nice enough movie, and rewatchable, but I would take Quiz Show over it any day of the week.
