Then, after having seen the film several times throughout the years it came to me, who was redeemed? It wasn't Andy, the Tim Robbins character. It was Red, Morgan Freeman, whose redemption is cited in the title.
A fucking wonderful film.

(16,899 posts)I have been a fan ever since. L.A.Confidential was the film that made me take notice of him.
Saw him three times in concert with his band at the Hpuse of Blues in Chicago. Saw the Oscar he won for Best Actor for GLADIATOR in 2001.

Anyway great movie and soundtrack.

Dreadful. And yeah, my wife and me, so it wasn't just me having no sense of romance or something. Just felt it an insult to our intelligence.

(8,632 posts)In addition to L.A. Confidential, my other favorite is Boogie Nights.
But there was also Good Will Hunting, The Game, The Sweet Hereafter, In the Company of Men, Donnie Brasco, Wag the Dog, Jackie Brown. And I almost forgot, Ang Lee's Ice Storm was absolutely brilliant.
