29. 8.6 Memento (2000)

My fav

Have you ever seen The Machinist? It has a similar concept.

[Rev. Rye]

How did you not love The Shawshank Redemption???

* Tiberius bans Rev. Rye.

What can I say, Oz set a damn high standard for me with regards to jail movies. And I confess that I'm still kind of bitter that it took the top spot from The Godfather. That said, of the movies I've seen on the Top 250, I only hate the Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings films, for the same set of reasons.

It's taboo in my family to watch bought films without the rest of the family. Even if that film belongs to you (Just as you have to share your own computer even if you don't want to at the time). We have to wait. This gets so ridiculous that one movie I got for my 19th birthday I didn't see until over a year later.

This is also the case with the Shawshank Redemption. I've heard it's a very good film but the rest of my family aren't that bothered, they don't seem to like the sound of it. I nevertheless most probably still have to wait an eternity before I can see it myself.

This is all more annoying now that I know it's not just supposedly a great film, but it has been voted as supposedly the greatest film.

Maybe if I tell them it's been voted (and critiqued) the greatest film of all time they'll be more willing to watch it.

I liked the Shawshank Redemption a lot, but I wouldn't have voted it the best movie of all time.

Well maybe if they changed the scene to this:

I would rate it as such. It is the first movie that pops to mind when I'm asked to recommend a movie to watch.

Why? It's difficult to qualify.

It's a compelling and believable story. It's a good story.

Too bad. Maybe it's time for you to take a stand against a stupid family tradition

I'm sorry, but that's absurd. Just watch the damn movie!

I watched that yesterday, quite a good film.

Here's mine, I'm gonna work on watching most of them. It might take a while.

Anyone else notice that the little code thing says you've seen 1 more film than is actually listed on your list?

Believe me I've tried.

I told them about how high it was voted and it looks like they're willing to watch it now though
