How brilliant is this film? I just watched it for about the tenth time yesterday and sat there entranced like it was my first time. Usually with three hour films there comes a point when I usually think "I wish this would finish" but not this one. I'm hooked from start to finish. That and The Shawshank Redemption are miles ahead of any other movie I've ever seen.
How about where that little **** guard "forgets" to put the towel into the water before that guy was executed.
How much do ya reckon that would stink!

Percy, he is a little sniggering rat.
Gets what he deserves in the end.
Green Mile & Shawshank Redemption, seen both of them- loved both of them.

It's a good movie.You get hooked when watching it and don't realise it goes for 3hrs.

I saw at the theatres and thought it was one of the best movies I have seen. I have a copy on DVD and have watched it a few more times but not as often as The Big Lebowski. I've almost worn that one out.

Green Mile & Shawshank Redemption

Both books written by Stephen King....Is there a trend here?
I reckon both were fantastic also.
BTW T-Bitts, if I weren't an Eagles' Supporter already, I would be a shinboner. Fantastic effort these past weeks. Hope your run ends in two weeks time.
How many ex-Dockers were there on the field tonight?
Great movie but they never really touched on how the big man was found guilty. I mean surely a decent lawyer could have got him off. I just felt that this guy shouldn't be in prison and i couldn't see how the film allowed him to be. There must have been some evidence that put him away but in this case there was none. I think they could have done this part of the film better.
Other then that one of the best movies I've seen in years.
I've watched it a number of times too. Really good.

A trend, perhaps..
You could always change:) I hope our run continues in 2 weeks, you beat us last time, now we need to take revenge (But I must say, if Burton isnt back, I think we are going to get absolutely murdered by Gardiner, any chance he can injure himself in the next couple of weeks?)
2 Ex Dockers- Burton was missing..
I hope the eagles continue their good form of this year... I have a soft spot for em because dad used to follow them {until I made him a Roo..} But they have to temporarily stop their good form when they play the Roos.

It was actually three, because of McPhee for Essendon.

The big guy was in prison on death row because it was the 40s and he was black and he had the girls and was drenched in their blood.
I reckon in real life they would have shot him on the spot and no one would have said a thing. (In those days)
All legitimate evidence in those days.
Anyone ever see "They call me Mr Tibbs"? with Sydney Poitier?

John Coffey(like the drink only spelt differently) was found with the girls in his arms and saying, "I wanted to take it back but I couldn't." How much more evidence do you need?
