anniversary edition

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2005)

I had originally owned this film on VHS. It grew on me to where I was watching it nearly once a week. The tape had gotten so bad that I could no longer enjoy the film. i have replaced my VHS tape with the 10th year anniversary two-disc special edition and i have really enjoyed the many extras made available. The commentaries from Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman and others contribute so much more that i would recommend to the first time viewer, if there are any, to view these bonus tracks prior to the movie. The extras sell the film all over again. I continue to watch this film a couple of times a month. The film lifts my spirits and jump starts my soul. Thank you Frank Darabont. oh, and Stephen King for a great experience with this film which has become one of my all time favorites...
