Yay! Another movie knocked out! Actually we finished "The Shawshank Redemption" about a month ago but with Brian's Vegas trip, hanging with the Lacks and cleaning out our office of literally half the stuff we had in there, I hadn't had an opportunity to update. I love this movie, obviously the way Andy is treated by Bogs and his boys early on is enough to make you sick, but ultimately it's a story about the indomitable human spirit, and bromance.
It was Alyssa's first time seeing this movie and though she enjoyed it immensely it's another of the "I won't watch that again" types. Unfortunately, the whole damn thing has to be happy and not deal with anything somewhat depressing or dark for her to be willing to give it a second viewing. I'm not looking forward to her reaction to "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"

Have to say... this is one of my absolute favorite movies! I love that you guys are watching through these - where did you get the list of the top 100?
Ash - yeah Shawshank is just a wonderfully enjoyable movie for me too. The list we are using is AFI's Tenth anniversary edition of the best 100 films of the first 100 years of American cinema. http://connect.afi.com/site/DocServer/100Movies.pdf?docID=301 should take you to a PDF version of the list or you can search for American film institute and it'll pop up somewhere. Love all the posts about your new baby girl Taitum by the way, even if we don't comment, Alyssa and I read the blog pretty much every day.
