The Shawshank Redemption

Thu May 24, 2012 8:28 pm

Such a good film, one of the best performances from Morgan Freeman I've seen! Shows how cruel the times USED to be and how we have improved under discipline!

Glory to the laws :ayatollah:

My FAVE film of all time.

First time I saw it I was blown away.

God knows how many times I've watched it since :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

This is one of those films I've wanted to see but never have!!!

Morgan Freeman has to be one of the most udderrated actors ever, a class act.

Luke, I can not beleive you've not seen the Green Mile. :shock: One of the best films ever made. Stop whatever you are doing right now and watch it. Don't even turn your pc off, just walk away from it, get the dvd and watch it. :D :ayatollah:

I suggest each and every man under 25 watches this film. You lot can learn a lot about PERSEVERANCE and PATIENCE from Mr. Andy Dufresne :old: :old: :old:

Too many younger men are quick to give up a search for the job after 25 minutes looking, they all just f*cking sign on and take their giros to the roulette machines in William Hill :old: :old:

Is a top film.

If you like prison films here are some suggestions for you:
1. Last Castle - Robert Redford (think that's his name isn't it)
2. The Hurricane - Denzel Washington

If you have some spare time on your hands today download em'

Enjoy
