Yo dudes, Don't talk shit about Corey or The Lost Boys.
It's a great film and he's an awesome dude!

I'm not a huge fan as I really like the film and think it is a special piece of filmmaking but I'm not sure whether I 'love it' and, like some people, watch it every other week (if not more frequently). In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw it!

However, I would consider buying the medibook and try and get into the film more than I have previously. It's odd, as I really like Shawshank but don't really care for The Green Mile, which many people consider fit together perfectly.

I much prefer Shawshank to The Green Mile, but like both films immensely.

I've recently picked up the Warner US Mediabook, and it is a very nice release.

I'll probably do likewise - where did you buy yours from?

Is The Green Mile any good?

I have seen it once when it first came out on dvd, i can't remember a thing about it.

Shawshank is a very good film, however i certainly don't watch it often, seen it twice i think.

It's very well made with some great performances, and like Darabont's other King adaptations is very faithful to the source material.

Some people find it a bit long (which to be honest it is), but I've never found myself becoming bored whilst watching it.

I don't think there are many films I own that I can say I watch often (I have too many, I guess... )

The Devil Rides Out, The Bodysnatcher and Horror of Dracula always get watched in my Halloweenfest. (October to normal folks)
