Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was a brilliant movie IMO...
But Shawshank would have to be one of the greatest.

Look Shawshank is a good movie but not close to the top ten IMO.
the fact that all footballers and cricketers think its the greatest ever movie tells you something of its limitations.
My top 5 (changes all the time depending on my mood)
Casablanca
Almost Famous
Breakfast Club
Lantana
No Way Out
Shawshank is the go to title for footballers who don't read, who know SFA about movies, but 'Shawshank' is a cool name, and 'redemption' is a big word. It sounds good in interviews. Good movie as you said.

The plot twist in Bohemian Rhapsody where Freddie knew he had AIDS before Live Aid was pretty out there. As was the part in the film where the band composes 'We Will Rock You' in the studio and Freddie has the short hair and moustache look (whereas in reality they wrote the song in 1977/78 and he still had long hair)

Do you like the two recent film additions to the Franchise? .....can you watch these two films and enjoy, or do you need to have seen the earlier films ?

I think I saw that once in Primary school.
Very difficult to enjoy either way.

The recent films are fine, better than the prequels by a mile but not quite as good as the original trilogy. I understand the criticism of The Last Jedi and the film does have its problems but I reckon a lot of it is incessant whining about irrelevant stuff.
My favorite of the recent ones though is Rogue One. I thought Solo was very disappointing with young Han being completely miscast.
I don't think you need to see the older films to enjoy but you'd probably be missing a lot of context. Some of the best moments are with characters from the original trilogy and you might miss the emotional connection to those characters if you haven't seen the older films. Similarly, you'd be missing those nostalgia hits which is a lot of The Force Awakens
