The Shawshank Redemption is a shocking omission though, one of the greatest films of all time and I don't use that description lightly. There are always copies going cheap in HMV/Virgin/Fopp so do yourself a favour and spend the £5 or whatever and watch it, I can't imagine you'd regret it as I've yet to meet the person who didn't like it

Lord of The Rings is pretty good and certainly epic but I don't know if I'd call it a classic just yet. If you've read the books then the films probably aren't going to be as good so I'd probably save the 9-12 hours of your life and not worry too much about it.

Oh and I would have skipped the lecture

I really want to see The Shawshank Redemption so I'll sort that soon hopefully

Rocky I'm not really bothered about though.

Lord of The Rings, I've only read the first book although did like it. Going to get my copies from home this weekend so hopefully I'll get round to finishing the trilogy then.

I didn't have a choice with skipping the lecture

Titanic was our exam question too

Which I managed to get nearly a first on either though I despised the film

Lies, all lies!
His physique changes significantly, and his subtle hairstyle changes are classy.

I figured if I could get Haly to watch the first one then she'd be hooked

I'm not sure about the barnet changes though, it has been a while since I've watched them so I'll defer to your superior knowledge

I do need to make time in my hectic schedule to watch all 5 again soon...

Haly · 04-10-2006, 20:13

I'll watch the first one sometime, but I might not watch the others

Not watched Rambo either.

I watched that on UKgold last night.. I never knew the first film had that storyline, First Blood part II on tonight at 9

Never seen any of the Lord Of The Rings films. Just can't summon the enthusiasm, although I suppose I will one day.

Dixon: "Its over"
Rocky: "It isn't over till its over"
Dixon: "Where's that from? The 80s?"
Rocky: "That's probably the 70s"
