Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons

"Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."
How is this everyone's favourite (movie)? I, however, haven't watched the movie and having read the book I don't think I ever will. I found it rather stupid. Twenty years at the prison and no one looked behind the poster of Rita Hayworth put up by Andy Dufresne in his cell. How is that humanly possible?
"I hope I can make it across the border.
I hope to see my friend and shake his hand.
I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.
I hope."

Omg noooo.. for once, please take everyone's word and watch the movie. There's a reason it's more popular than the book :) (a rare case too!) I haven't read the book but having watched the movie and loving it, I dont think there's any need to.

You don’t go looking for a reason to put your tax advisor in solitary.
Also, TSR is my second favourite film ever! Stand By Me is my first and ironically, it’s also 1/4 of the same novella.
