jambo89 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 16 minutes ago, Victorian said: The Shawshank Redemption is the most rancid film cliche in existence. Everyone and their dog seems to cite it in any 'best' or 'greatest' list. It's a reasonable film. An enjoyable film. It is in no way, shape or form great. The only list it should ever top is that of most over-rated. Over-rated!? Pretty sure it was panned by the critics and performed poorly at the box office. There’s probably a reason why everyone cites it as the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Planet of the Apes (original) - first time I saw it, just wow! For A Few Dollars More - the pocket watch shoot out. Indio is just about to shoot Mortimer when Clint starts the tune up again on the watch he's pickpocketed from Mortimer: "Now we begin." - I never get tired of watching that.

dsk1210 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) The Usual Suspects obviously had one of the best endings in a movie. Keyser Söze The Prestige also has a fantastic ending and even gives a spoiler in the opening titles.
