And, count me as one who loved Shawshank, I even bought it on DVD and watch it annually.

popular=good? Eh, everyone filters through their own criteria, especially when it comes to film. I just polled for a future podcast what the top ten, essential silent films would be, the list was amazingly diverse.

A few years ago, we took off and spent about 2 months down there on our boat. It was a nice quiet place, warm clear water. Great little hole in the wall restaurants. Not a place to go if you like fast-paced excitement, more of a slow paced relaxing place.

It is very interesting to see what people think about different movies, this is such a diverse group, I haven't heard about 99% of the movies discussed in the movie thread, but they are fun to read about.
