You think Shawshank is real -- or realistic? I think it's plays like an After School Special.

tcum likes light hearted movies.

Schindler's List is a masterpiece. Shawshank is good, but pretty generic and predictable.

reply

sigh

reply

I agree about Schindler's. Shawshank is somewhat overrated.

reply

Hey I did not know you had that opinion too. Well, I didn't find Shawshank generic but predictable yes and like hownos said; overrated.

I rate Shindler 9/10 and shawshank 7.5/10

reply

They are both average, Shawshank is more entertaining, Schindler's is more of a propaganda film.

reply

Shawshank, although I dislike both movies.

reply

Same here. I’m not a big fan of either but if I had to sit down and watch one now it would be Shawshank.

reply

A prison movie with the word "shank" in it. What's not to love?

reply

Schindler's List was much better...I posted about two years ago that it was a bit too real and disturbing to rewatch but I do think I'll get back to it for the Fiennes, Kingsley and Neeson performances some time
Talk about a killer cast at top form

Shawshank was quite good but very overrated

Both were very enjoyable books turned into even better movies👍
