I know its as popular as all hell...but the first time I saw The Shawshank Redemption in 1998...avoided this like the Plague when it first came out because I thought I was going to be utterly bored with it, then my younger brother saw it and demanded that I watch ASAP..now my brother is far from a movie watcher..he watches like 10 movies a year..and hates EVERYTHING!..anyway I rented it from BB on VHS (ahh those were the days!), and was blown away..about 150 viewing later it has become one of my top 4 or 5 films ever...and to think how many more years I could have gone before I finally saw it!
