I have many favorite movies, it really is hard to pick just one. Some of my favorites are Delores Claiborne, Fried Green Tomatoes, Braveheart, Shawshank Redemption and my most silly favorite is, I'm almost ashamed to admit Flash Gordon. What are your favorites?
I didn't realize there was a Shawshank Redemption book, I will have to look for it, the book is always better then the movie so as fantastic as the movie is, I can only imagine how much I will enjoy ready the book.
The book was by Stephen King, it's called 'Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption' - I think it's easiest to find in a compilation of his stories called 'Different Seasons'.
The film of the Shawshank Redemption follows the book very closely. It's one of the few Stephen King books that made the transition to a film well.
Shawshank Redemption is up there on my list, too! Other favorites of mine include "ET," "Indiana Jones" (all - what a crush I had on Harrison Ford!!!) "Ghandi," "The Piano," trilogy "Red," "White" and "Blue" by Krystof Kiesloski, "Shakespeare In Love," "Saving Private Ryan," and even "Little Miss Sunshine." As for nerdy, I really get a kick out of "Strange Brew"!
