BLACK COMEDY:

"The Lady Killers" w/Tom Hanks
f'n HIL-AR-IOUS remake of the old Alec Guiness flick

..and just about every other Tom Hanks movie..
another fabulous actor who's come to prove that
one needn't look like Robert Redford to draw a crowd.

Yep. Shawshank Redemption is a favorite,

I read somewhere that in the book, Tim Robins character was actually guilty of his murder. I wonder how that worked with that kid he tutored in prison ?

Nup..

Andy Dufresne was one of the few men in
Shawshank Prison who was actually innocent.

(I happen to be holding a copy of the book
it's taken from ri'chere in my hot lil' hand.)
Two of my favorite short stories-become movies
Taken from the same Stephen King book,
Different Seasons

"Shawshank Redemption"
(Hope Springs Eternal: Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption)

"Stand By Me"
(Fall From Innocence: The Body)

My other favorite Stephen King Book/Movie is
"The Green Mile"
That is counted among my "DON'T MISS" Tom Hanks Movies

In fact the only difference between the book & movie
is that Morgan Freeman's character, "Red" is a
Red-Headed Irishman in the book...
...if you listen carefully, when Tim Ribbons ("Andy")
first meets "Red" in the Movie, he asks "Why 'RED'?"
..to which Morgan Freeman gives a little shrug,
replying "Maybe it's because I'm Irish." smile

The Green Mile is a winner!
