Default Shawshank Redemption...
...is on again. I have trouble not watching when I flip through the channels and see it playing.

I'd say it's in my top 10 movies ever. Right along with Animal House, Blues Brothers, Caddyshack, Goodfellas, and Full Metal Jacket to name some quickly.

Very hard to walk away once I've seen a clip. Often comes up in my YT feed.
Extraordinary movie.

Man, I just remembered me and my brothers watched Smokey and The Bandit in the theater when it first came out. Damn, time sure flies.

Shawshank Redemption was filmed in Mansfield, Ohio at a closed down state penitentiary. Quite the talk for a few weeks during filming.

It's a great film but not sure I'll ever watch it again.

Most of my "watch them everytime I run across them" movies are B movie schlock.

Guess I'm uncultured.
