    Where do you rank this movie on your all time greats list??? For me it is easily top 3. I love watching it every 6 months or so.

    Top 3-5. I used to watch it frequently. It's sad.

    I think the movie is great but I'm not sure it would crack my top 10, probably top 20...


    I don't think it's even the best movie of the year it was released... From the same year, I'd rate Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction ahead of it.

    I can't get into Tarintino films too much. Seen em once, was enough for me most times.

    I really like that movie, especially the part about hope.

    i can't do lists; i'll just spend hours brainstorming, and then ranking, and then second guessing myself, and then changing my mind, and then remembering a movie that was overlooked, and so on. but it is a really good movie, and i'll leave it at that.
     
  11. Not unique enough to be in my top ten. At the end of the day...another prison movie. It's my second favorite one, though, after Stir Crazy.

    I'm not sure if it'd be considered a "prison movie" if we're being pedantic, but Silence of the Lambs for me.

    I have not seen any of these other Prison movies mentioned, I am realizing my movie knowledge is limited in scope.
     
  16. Papillon was good.

    My favorite part is when Andy escapes, but the day before when he's telling Red the story. He just seemed so sad, and then when Red has to go and find that stone that doesn't belong on the stone wall, I'm not sure why but I think it was sweet.
     
  18. I like how so many quotes use the name Andy since that's my name.
