[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 241939, member: 177511"] You're entitled to your opinion and I respect it. I think it's a great film, it was missed at the box office but when the DVD came out people watched it and hired/bought it and that's how it became a best seller. That's how other great films rise to the top... Take 'Amelie' a French film that had limited appeal. It was included in the first DVD catalogue sent out using the new postal rental format in the US. Once people had seen it they told their friends and it became the biggest circulated foreign DVD in the States - People power. As for Shawshank, I think it's a very well constructed story (and the good guy wins in the end). Did you like 'The Green Mile'? Having both films several times, I bought the DVDs. Can watch them over and over. P.S. If your looking for other great foreign films (my opinion) check out... 'Jean De Florette' and 'Manon Des Sources' a duet 'Cinema Paradiso' and animation classic - 'Belleville Rendez-vous' [/QUOTE]
