thank you to those who replied, I was quietly surprised.
Incidentally, I watched Ferris Bueller again last night,from start to finish, I felt a bit guilty at times, but there is something about it that attracts me like a moth to a flame, Mia Sara may have something to do with it.
I haven't seen Die Hard 4, there were some bad reviews, I thought the best was the second (1990) , those last twenty minutes were awesome.
Shawshank Redemption, is rated the second best movie of all time on Imdb, but there are major flaws in it, one being how the hell does Robbins put the Raquel Welch poster back over the hole in his cell once he has climbed through it, with barely enough room to crawl along it, that sucks, hasn't anybody noticed it, and it's a bit convenient there is a great 'back to the future' type storm the night he breaks out, those thuds on the water pipe as the thunder went was more amusing than anything else.
What else?
someone mentioned the Goonies, I didn't see it until years after it's release, that guy from License to Kill is in it, the kids from back then went on to appear in major roles after that, at least some of them, I think the surrounding Oregon setting is superb, fits perfectly with the story, and the beach ending was good.
Did I see Lost Boys somewhere, some faces from Goonies crept in, it's quite upsetting if you're young enough, a friend I knew saw it on VHS when it was released, and was so disturbed by it that he did something weird, I forget now, but he was quite freaked out by it, I wouldn't go that far, it does have some nasty moments for young teenagers, but it's more of a comedy than anything else.
