The Story: A man gets sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit. He escapes from said prison.
What Happened After the Cameras Stopped: A middling, by-the-book, crowd-pleasing, competently-crafted-but-ultimately-inconsequential movie gets voted by the internet as the greatest film of all time. Movie lists are further proven to be unnecessary wastes of time.
Also, wrongful imprisonment gets added to to the list of things Maine is known for. The current list includes:
scary clowns,
cousin lovin',
the boiling to death and consumption of sea cockraoches,
and bottled water.
Also, prison rape happens to all the guys still stuck behind bars.

I too love the film -- but enjoyed your post.
You forgot pine trees, potatoes, and tourists. (I'm from Maine, so I should know.)
This was the best thing I saw all day: "A middling, by-the-book, crowd-pleasing, competently-crafted-but-ultimately-inconsequential movie gets voted by the internet as the greatest film of all time. Movie lists are further proven to be unnecessary wastes of time."
So funny. And funny because I think it's accurate.
I should point out that I don't hate this movie. I find it pretty entertaining. I just find it funny that such a run-of-the-mill movie is thought of by the internet as the greatest artistic achievement in the medium of film.
