Memorable Movie Props
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Rock hound Tim Robbins asks Morgan Freeman to get him a rock hammer to carve rocks. Who would have thought that years later, Tim would have managed to use it to tunnel his way out of Shawshank?
What's your favorite prison break movie?
What's your favorite prison break movie?
Escape from Alcatraz and Shawshank, and I found a lot of similarities with the 2 stories.
ReplyDeleteJoJo: Escape from Alcatraz was good. I also liked Papillion (with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman). Not everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed it.
DeleteI'd have to go with Shawshank because it's my favorite movie of all time. The first time I saw it, I knew nothing about it, just stumbled upon it. I never suspected the ending, they lead you to believe he did one thing and he did another. Awesome movie.
ReplyDeleteJeff: I agree...it's fabulous. Stephen King is a genius in my book and one of the greatest American story-tellers. The film adaptation was superb! I love the twist!
ReplyDeleteGreat movies all - every movie mentioned in this post and comments are terrific! Shawshank got played on TBS too much back there - otherwise no complaints!
ReplyDeleteCraig: You are right about being overplayed. Too bad because TV editing leaves out some of the "grit"...which I think is necessary in this type of movie.
