- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsThomas JaneMarcia Gay HardenLaurie HoldenA freak storm unleashes a species of bloodthirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole up in a supermarket and fight for their lives.Significant is the word I'd use to describe this film. Significant because it was the first movie I posted on this list almost a decade ago. I loved it then and I love it now all that time later after revisiting it. Significant for its absolutely shockingly dark ending. Significant for its use of the soundtrack.
The ending is so powerful as fucked up as it is. It sticks with you. Hell... it's literally stuck with me for 10 years. Music isn't prominent in this movie, so when it's used at the end... my god it's so powerful.
The dialogue especially at the start before the mist arrives is pretty average. The movie definitely picks up once The Mist comes. Incredible film, I'm thankful movies directed by Frank Darabont are in my first 2 listed. He's fantastic. - DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonOver the course of several years, two convicts form a friendship, seeking consolation and, eventually, redemption through basic compassion.Like many others, this is among my absolute favourite movies ever. A story of hope, redemption, justice, friendship. Gives me goosebumps even typing about this movie.
The score for this movie is so wonderful, it's a perfect fit. Seeing Red and Andy Dufrense bond over the course of 20 years is magical. Andy seeks redemption against the system that fucked him over and executes a genius plan 2 decades in the making. Red seeks his own redemption, against himself, the "only guilty man in Shawshank" finds his redemption by doing himself justice, and becomes the great man he was destined to be. 20 years in prison together, but that moment when they meet on the outside as free men for the first time will go among the best ending in cinema history.
I just loved this movie from start to finish but there's no doubt that the stretch from the moment Andy escapes to where the movie ends with Red meeting him on the beach in Mexico, is one of the best pieces of cinema ever, let alone the movie as a whole, but that stretch was so moving and perfect. Shawshank Redemption will forever be a legendary movie.
R.I.P. Brooks <3 - DirectorJaume Collet-SerraStarsVera FarmigaPeter SarsgaardIsabelle FuhrmanA husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she appears.
- DirectorDennis DuganStarsAdam SandlerChristopher McDonaldJulie BowenAfter his grandmothers house is repossessed by the IRS, bad tempered hockey player takes his talents to golf to earn the big bucks and get his grandmothers house back.Still stands the test of time, a true delight and pleasure to sit through, perfect runtime, even the credits fly by with the wonderful music. Just a beautiful Adam Sandler comedy classic. God, you've gotta feel bad for those people who just don't like Adam Sandler films, sucks to be them!
Happy Gilmore is such a feel good classic, so memorable with easy rewatchability. Not sure if rewatchability is a word but you get it.
Been a stressful time recently, was nice to put on this film as it's been far too long since I've watched this. I added this on my list in 2012... it's a decade later, WAY too long for me to rewatch it properly but god, it was still worth the wait. Unconventional watch for me as I watched it during the day, cat all over me, but as already said, such a reliably great watch this film is. Happy Gilmore makes for a happy me. - DirectorNick CassavetesStarsGena RowlandsJames GarnerRachel McAdamsAn elderly man reads to a woman with dementia the story of two young lovers whose romance is threatened by the difference in their respective social classes.

- DirectorKevin DunnStarsPaul WightArn AndersonRandy AndersonThis DVD follows the career of the big showSo... I have a goal of going back to the early stages of this IMDB list and putting notes in, I've gradually made some ground up so far, not a lot, but some. The reality is, as you can quite clearly see, I was in a huge WWE phase at the start of this list, I still LOVE pro wrestling, but I've moved on big time from WWE, and really have no plans to rewatch any of these WWE documentaries back that I watched almost a decade ago. I'll quickly mention how I feel about the wrestler in question though, in this case, The Big Show, as that's about the best I can do considering.
Huge respect for The Big Show, one of the best big men of all time, probably doesn't get the respect he deserves, but I've always had great admiration for him. - StarsBrock LesnarKurt AngleSteve AustinTraces Brock Lesnar's rise from The University of Minnesota to Ohio Valley Wrestling to his destructive first year in WWE.
- StarsShawn MichaelsMarty JannettyPaul LevesqueHe is one of the most charismatic showmen ever to grace a WWE ring. He is HBK: The Heartbreak Kid - the most resilient champion in WWE. And pound for pound, he may well be the toughest. He was the first Grand Slam champion - the only competitor to hold every title WWE had to offer at the time. Weighing in at 225 pounds, he was WWE Champion on three occasions, defeating men who were close to twice his size. From the very beginning of his spectacular career Michaels gained a reputation for pushing his body to extremes. He was willing to go the limit: to do whatever he had to do to put on a stunning show - and eventually his body paid the price. In his early thirties, an age when most Superstars are hitting their prime, Michaels had to bow out of the spotlight, plagued by recurrent injuries which had ended - or so he thought - his career. But then, sensationally, after four years out of the ring, in June 2002 'The Showstopper' returned to a rapturous reception from which he has never looked back. This is the full story of his truly remarkable comeback, and of his glittering twenty-year-plus career.

Last night I watched this amazing movie properly for the first time ever. I watched this in school once at my English class (don't exactly know why) but it was across 2 different days and I was too young and didn't get the feel for it the way I should've.
Watching this last night was a breathe of fresh air, to finally see this amazingly powerful piece of cinemas forever etched into the history of it... it is the most beautiful coming-of-age, war, and romance movie all in one. The soundtrack is beautiful, the cinematography is beautiful... Forrest Gump is one for the ages.
Tom Hanks in perhaps his best ever performance... and that's saying a lot. - DirectorSeung-goo JoYoung Won JungJinsung KimStarsFrank WelkerMindy CohnGrey GriffinShaggy and Scooby win tickets for a WWE City trip.
