    *dead* eBay Daily Deal: Shawshank Redemption DVD $3.99 + Free Shipping
    The number one movie on IMDB [imdb.com].

    eBay Daily Deal (Link) [ebay.com]

    • Format: DVD
    • Leading Role: Clancy Brown, Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins
    • Genre: Drama
    • Condition: Brand New

    In writer-director Frank Darabont's THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison for the murders of his wife and her lover in the late 1940s. However, only Andy knows that he didn't commit the crimes. Sent to Shawshank Prison to do hard time, Andy--a taciturn banker in the outside world--has to learn to get by in the brutal, cutthroat confines of prison life. His quiet strength slowly earns the respect of his fellow inmates--most notably, Red (Morgan Freeman)--and even much of the prison staff. But Andy's seemingly stoic acceptance of his unjust imprisonment hides a fierce determination for freedom. This beautifully crafted movie features touching and sincere performances from the entire cast, with an uplifting message about humanity's indomitable spirit and the redemptive value of hope. Based on the novella RITA HAYWORTH AND SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION by Stephen King, Darabont's intriguing adaptation is easily one of the finest films of the 1990s.

    Keep in mind you'll burn one of your 20 lifetime credits for $0.32... unless you have many accounts...

    And also, I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. Words to live by.

    LOL. True but I've not bought 20 items from eBay in my entire life and I've shopped for a long time online. Also, bought two so it was $0.64 for me!

    One of the best movies of all time!

    True, but that shouldn't make a big difference. From an SE review [dvdtown.com]:
    [...] compare the picture quality of WB's earlier "Shawshank" DVD release with this new one, checking a half a dozen specific scenes in each copy. The results I obtained show that the two transfers are virtually the same, the newer one seeming perhaps a tad brighter, with almost the same bit rates used for both. I also found the enhanced, anamorphic screen size essentially the same for both, measuring a ratio approximately 1.77:1 across my standard-screen HD television. While there appear to be minor differences in framing, the differences seem inconsequential. The picture quality remains mostly clean and clear, with fairly good color separation and very little noticeable grain, even in darker passages. For all intents and purposes, I would have to conclude that this transfer is close enough to the transfer of the previous edition not to quibble.

    Great movie.

    I remember watching this in my youth and "HOPE" actually meant something besides hollow promises from an Administration with bad credit tendencies that needs to read from prompters
