    Shawshank Redemption

    Shawshank comes on, I sit down and watch. Every time.

    Me2. Freeman is so Goddamn'd good in that film, I can't look away or change the channel. The scene where he goes and finds the hidden box in the rock wall is one of the best movie scenes I've ever seen. Fucking perfect.
    Shawshank was my introduction to Freeman. Legendary performance.

    And the narration was flawless.

    Shawshank Redemption
    I still get a huge grin every time I see that chess piece get thrown through the poster.

    Shawshank Redemption
    Also, that movie introduced me to the saying "like a fart in the wind"

    The Family Guy Shawshank is pretty good. Would recommend. 9.8/10

    Shawshank Redemption
    I know it received no votes but I always liked The Mist.

    Shawshank’s a great movie but it’s second behind The Green Mile.

    Mine is when they are sitting on the roof after hot mopping sipping beers feeling like kings.
    Statists and Authoritarians don't understand that scene nor the feelings it provokes.

    And the Italian Opera singers blasting through the yard? Another great scene the same groups fail to grasp the meaning of.

    "So he plays a record of women singing. What's the big deal?" - they ask. FT, FM, FE.

    I voted for it from the ending alone. Not many movies stick with me but the ending of the Mist has stuck with me. Very sad yet hopeless feeling in the moment only to see they could have survived.

    But then again as a RaceBannon minion I also have not watched Shawshank Redemption nor did I know it was a Stephen King adaptation.

    I didn't see it on the list but carry on

    I've watched part of it. Not impressed. Typical prison movie. I prefer women's prison movies

    Not enough prison rape?
