I don’t know why I watched this back then or with whom, but it’s one of my all time favourites. Don’t think I’ve rewatched The Shawshank Redemption in its entirety in one sitting again tho. 

The way it ended up with the cast and editing was just perfect. Glad the lead roles worked out. 30 years next year.
