#50 - The Shawshank Redemption


Okay. I'm gonna get alot of stick for only putting this one at #50, and here are my reasons. I accept it is a fantastically made film, the casting is incredible and the lines are powerful, "...the first time I saw Andy Dufraine" etc. But it doesn't do much for me. It's just a personal thing, The acting is spot on and the wardens character in particular I find very interesting and the whole concept is fantastic. and it has one of the best Hollywood endings in Movie History. So yes it sits pretty at 50, but loosely I guess as I'm still undecided to a certain degree.

My Favourite Bit = When the Warden finds the tunnel, his face is priceless.
