    Shawshank is an all time classic.

    Shawshank is a great film and gives me an excuse to post a link to one of the great foootball cartoons of all time... the North Bank Redemption...

    Although you have missed it was on Monday 
    “Battle Royalle”  A Japanese film from 2000 its sub titles.  Its was on Movie Legends on Freeview

    Watch this a you can see exactly where SQUID GAMES / HUNGER GAMES came from. It’s so similar in base story. Worth watching

    "The Last Bus" is on iPlayer, a well crafted and acted film that induces a few tears and a warm glow

    Must have watched this film 100s of times, was absolutely obsessed with it at the age of about 15/16 and had it on DVD. Thought Kiriyama was one of the coolest movie antagonists I'd seen.

    BR 2 I never enjoyed, tried watching it at least 3 times and could never get through it.

    Definitely did Netflix and Amazon Prime last year, I think Apple TV too, but as that wasn't relevant to me I can't say for certain.

    Yes i did. I don't recommend much from Apple because I'm not sure that many people have subscriptions to it. I don't

    Remember when it came out. Sneaked into the pictures on panton street to watch it. Obviously an 18 rated film. I was 13/14 at the time. 
    Loved it.
     Had influences of it's own. Running man and such but it definitely influenced hunger games and squid games. I've told people this but will they listen..

    I may have to have an early night.
    We caught up with stuff recorded earlier last night & instead of just turning off the tele & going to bed, husband put it back on normal tv only to find Shawshank had just started.
    Husband never watches films twice.
    Think he’s in double figures with this now.
    Just can’t not watch it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Enjoyed that. Tremendous opening scenes and a nice gentle pace that never needs to be stepped up. Kid playing Buddy was brilliant. 

    Fantastic cinematography but wished it was in colour though, b&w does my eyes in!

    Damn near piddled myself at the Turkish Delight bit (having spent years as a kid wondering why they put it in the Christmas selection boxes as no-one I knew liked it) and the kid saying "It's biological?" when asked why he looted the washing powder. And the Mum marching the kid back to return it was a very familiar vibe.

    Thanks for the reminder it was on @bedsaddick.
