[Aw 83]

It's a classic love this movie to bits really happy to hear news for this but my favourite from the lot is Shawshank redemption come on FA get the ball rolling on these titles as we ninjas are really excited.

 

[Lollard2002]

Still don't get the love for Shawshank. It's a decent film, sure. But I don't really get the love for the film that "makes grown men cry". I cried more when John McClane hurt his feet in DIE HARD

I'm the same. Don't understand the films reputation. A decent film in my books but that's all

 

[adarkcorner]

Yeah. I "get" all of the story... It just doesn't get to me that way. Other films with similar themes have.
I just find all of King's stories and Darabont's films hugely melodramatically manipulative in a bad way.
I don't get moved by Green Mile either. I feel the fingers behind the scenes pushing the "You Cry Now" button, and I resent it.
I don't fault people for enjoying it. I am clearly a minority voice in that one...

You're not alone, it's pure manipulative schmaltz. As are the other films being name-dropped in relation to it. Can't stand that type of film.

I am going to make an exception and get this to add to my Play.com steel release.

 

[Lollard2002]

Me too. A full deluxe version of this brilliant film. Yes please

 

[Lollard2002]

As a footnote I would love to see one done of The original The Day the Earth Stood Still to make up for the dire steelbook a few years back and 1954's Them!

The original Invasion of the body snatchers whilst your at it too

....And Quatermass and The Pit.

 

[Lollard2002]

No arguments from me there. 2 titles I'd love to see done for steelbook with proper artwork, no pop art.

A THING steelbook from FilmArena? Already a classic! Gonna be a loooong wait

 

[urbeenjammin]

This is still 2 years away, minimum. Just put it in the archives for now like King Kong. Getting excited for this is like somebody putting me in a sleeper hold in a wrestling match and the referee checking my arm and seeing that it's still limp with no life whatsoever.

Yeah, in fact if I were a Mod, I would lock the thread till some kind of info was released.

The steelbook for Star Wars: Rogue One will be out before this one. Just a little perspective.

I'm not saying there aren't movies that make me cry, they're just not so formulaic and facile about it.

I think Irreversible made me cry the first time I watched it.

 

[lolwut]

I guess I'll be the first to say, "No remaster, no sale!" The HD-DVD has a better transfer (no DNR). Same reason I didn't buy the Mondo or Play steels (also because they didn't use the original poster art).

 

[charleybusko]

It's FAC, so there'll be some excitement even if the release is 3 years later lol.

 

[Blu-devil]

I love Shawshank and the Green Mile. I'm a man of the 21st Century, I'm sensitive.
Only yesterday I was telling my best friend that on Saturday night I cried in bed.
He said were you alone when this happened.
I said Yes, now you know why I was crying.

 

[hal9000b]

OMG. Haven't noticed it until now. A must buy. One of the best movies of all time. Please Filmarena, do this movie justice.
