Miles better than both of those. Green Mile is a decent film, Shawshank is a mainstream masterpiece, Deer Hunter is one of the best films of all time and had far more cultural impact/significance than Shawshank

I've seen those 2, but never The Deer Hunter, I'll catch it on the IP soon, from the little I've heard about it, it's certainly not for the faint hearted anyway, but it's one of those films many people have recommended you need to at least watch.

Amazing that John Cazale managed to perform his role given how sick he was. Great viewing

deerhunter with an hour knocked off by a good editor would make a good film.

shawshank and the green mile just silly.

cardboard characters, especially the green mile.

philanthropist screws on death row in 30s america. yeah right.

What was the film that had a scene about Russian Roulette?

Was it the Deer Hunter or Apocalypse Now?

Very surprising that they sold Rolling Rock in the U.K. It was a very regional brewery when I was growing up in Pennsylvania in the 80’s and wasn’t particularly easy to find when I moved. More easily found now that they were bought up.

Wow, I find myself in total agreement with DA. What is happening? Have I awoken into some strange universe created by Pstotto, where DA actually makes sense? Help!

One of the best films ever made. It’s a mad film. From the wedding scene to the roulette scene and everything else in between.

Love every film cazale is in. Great actor.
