Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

[getback]

that was my thought process. Nothing against Friday, I just usually prefer something that pulls at my emotions if I’m having to pick between that or a comedy.

To think John Singleton was only 21-22 when he directed BNTH is amazing.

Also the Hughes brothers were 20-21 when they did Menace.

Unbelievable.

GWH.I think Shawshank is a better made film but I enjoy GWH more.

 

[KingParappa]

Shawshank.

 

[calibeebee]

Rudy, easy.

i reallllly can’t decide on the other pick. Gonna have to do a pros/cons breakdown later to decide.

 

[jrp44]

Both are awesome, but for me the first time I finally watched Shawshank, I was ready to watch it again. Top 10, maybe top 5 movie of all time

I remember Morgan Freeman talking about how everybody got "Gumped" at the Oscars that year. He said he didn't mind losing, just couldn't believe he lost to Gump. It's crazy how it didn't win anything. Gump is a great movie and I loved it as a kid, but come on now. Not 1 Oscar?

Tom Hanks didn't go full R* and won the award.

White people love sympathy movies. Man with mental illness > Man in jail with a black bff movie. (yes I'm overly simplifying both movies but you get the point)

If I recall correctly, Hanks had also just won Best Actor the prior year for Philadelphia (man dying of AIDS)

I finally watched Philadelphia for the first time and thought it was fantastic. A 90's movies that still has heavy 80's vibes. One of the best opening/closing sequence combos I can recall. The end messed me up for real. I don't know how you can watch that and not get completely choked up.

Can’t wait for this game to come out

Yes.


But I'm a Hitchcock fanatic.

I am too, haven’t seen even close to enough his movies though because they’re relatively hard to find streaming-wise or TV. Have seen Psycho, Rear Window, North by Northwest, and To Catch A Thief - maybe is it?
