10 Classic Movies Most People Lie About Having Seen

7. The Shawshank Redemption

This one's pretty much self-explanatory. The Shawshank Redemption is, somewhat bizarrely, heralded as one of the greatest films of all time. It's a great film, admittedly, but best of all time? According to users of IMDb, yes. Over one million people have voted on the film's quality on the site with over half of those people giving it a perfect ten rating. People clearly love the film and while it doesn't have a rabid cult following or anything like that, it's become a standard in 'best of' lists. So you can see why some people might say they've seen it. What, you haven't seen the greatest film of all time? How stupid do you look? Well, not as stupid as you do by lying about having seen it, probably.
