I couldn’t find anyone wanted to go see Shawshank when it came out. I was probably one of a dozen people in the theater.
- I just got my wife to watch it for the first time this past week. Possibly my favorite movie ever.
- It got a generally lukewarm reception on release too.
  
  That's kind of insane considering it's literally the top movie on imdb
