The Classics

Post by Justin Credible » Tue Feb 07, 2017 11:40 pm

Just finished watching Midnight Run...again.......possibly my all time favorite comedy movie.

So what are your classic movies/shows you will rewatch ?

In terms of Movies for me Shawshank redemption & Kellys Heroes I seem to watch ever year or 2.

Before Xmas I watched the entire run of "The Shield"

Some of them maybe not old enough to qualify as "classics" yet, I forget how old Shawshank is sometimes as always thought it was a new film in 2000 for some reason...would recommend all those films though, probably in that order, although Insomnia might be the pick of the bunch. The Usual Suspects is another classic, and The Sunset Limited might become one, that's an amazing film but demands a certain type of viewing as it is just two blokes talking in a room for the whole film!
