Truly Madly Deeply (1990)
Touching & Moving..
I was given this film as a present on my 17th Birthday - a bit cynical to watch such a soppy love story, i decided to go it a go one evening..and didn't take my eyes off the screen until the end! This movie is fantastic! As a product of the late 80's myself - it is a film that makes me wish i still lived in that era!
Some of the best quotations! - that make you realise how important insignificant things are in a relationship (Watching the clouds go by on a lazy autumn morning, sitting up all night chatting etc) This film fills you with nostalgia; my fav part has to be the end..having gone through a rough break-up recently, i can empathise with the feeling of 'letting them go' and moving on.. "My feet shall want to walk to where you are sleeping - but i shall go on living" Watch this film - it'll make you think...
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
One of Frank Darabont's BEST!!
This is a fantastic film and deserved the countless awards that it was given during the 1990's! The film is visually astounding with a fantastic cast of legendary actors. Films that have twists are always impressive and Frank Darabont does this film justice by creating an original and at times, very moving screenplay. I would suggest that anyone watches this film as it takes its audience on a roller-coaster of emotions from pity towards Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) at the start of this movie when he is convicted of murdering his wife, to the moving performance by James Whitmore as Brooks Hatlen, the lonely and 'institutionalised' old prisoner.
The ending made me cry and made me want to go and visit the 'big hayfield up near Buxton'!! I must have watched this film hundreds of times and I still get nervous when Warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton) goes into Andy Dufresne's cell and realises something astounding about the prisoner...
