Anybody else love "The Shawshank Redemption"?

Im watching it again on TV now for the millionth time it seems. I never get sick of that movie. It was probably the best movie adaptation of a Stephen King story ever. Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins and a host of other great actors. Something about that flick that never gets old.

Yes, I love that movie too!!!

It is a great movie, based on a short story by my favorite author, Stephen King.

Can't change the channel if I stumble on it. One of my top 5 all-time favorite movies.

Anything by Stephen King! I'm a King freak! Problem is some of his movies weren't made to do justice to his writing, but I do love Shawshank. Love the Shining and the Stand was great!

I love The Shawshank Redemption, and will never tire of watching it. Every year or so I will watch it in full if it's on TV.

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! I looove that film! Never gets old! It's the kind of film I watch when I'm ill and can't move and theres nothing on TV. Love it!

I've watched it at least 10 times, it's definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. Very powerful.

Yes I love that movie also...It one of my favorite stephen king movies...I love morgan freeman he is a great actor...I personally like the stephen king movies that are more like that rather than the horror ones...for ex. The green mile, Delores Claiborne, Misery, Stand by me and much much more!

Yeah, somehow the horror of a Stephen King book doesn't translate well to screen. I think it's because much of the strength of his writing comes from characterization, and either that's hard to get across in a horror story, or the directors just don't have the vision to get 'er done.

Anyway, here's another vote for Shawshank Redemption and also one of my favorite (and most underappreciated, at least by the critics) authors of all time, Stephen King.

I bought the dvd last year... i have read the book several times... one of my all time favorites...
