LOVED THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION! I remember going to this movie in the theatres on opening night and there was like 10 people in the theatre. This movie didn't take off until it came out in DVD.

Shawshank was great. But Pulp Fiction is the movie that deserved best picture. Hands down.

I really disliked this movie. How it won any awards is beyond me!

chadunc · 07-21-2007, 05:12 AM

No-brainer. Definite add to the blu collection for me. Even if I only watched it once a year, its still worth it. Just one of those timeless great movies. But I would still rather have Good Will Hunting!!!!

Goodguy818 · 07-21-2007, 05:16 AM

i would definately buy it, loved that movie.

PaulDubya · 07-21-2007, 06:49 AM

Bluray is as Bluray does.

You forgot the Dr Pepper. Gotta have something to drink while watching Forrest run.

AlaskaDon · 07-21-2007, 06:18 PM

I don't own it on DVD, and I probably wouldn't buy it on BD either. Not that I hated it really, but once was enough.

A "Gump" BD soooooo BADLY needs a DTS mix! The film had DTS sound in it's theatrical exhibitions. I think good ol' DTS will give you that OOOMPH you need in the rear surrounds as well as in front of you.
ANYTHING Dolby Digital just.......plain.........sucks!
