age poll for this film...


I am a huge fan of this movie, and I know many other people also like it as well as I do, but I was wondering what age group the film most appeals to. I have graduated college myself, but I first saw "Brubaker" at the age of 14, but I am not sure how many other people my age really appreciate the movie.

Please respond if you LIKE the film... however, if you have been a fan for a long time, give the age you were when you first discovered that you liked "Brubaker".

I'm 34 now, but I remember seeing the movie when I was a kid in the 80's. Always loved this film. Back then, my favorite Redford movies were this one, 'The Sting' and 'The Great Gatsby'. I think they still are in my top 5 Redford films.

I love this movie, first watched it at age 34 and have seen it a few times since. I don't agree with it politically, I could care less if inmates have rough conditions (they have it better than their victims). But I do like the movie for the character of Brubaker- someone who thinks differently and is willing to openly challenge things.

I was probably 14 or 15 when I watched this movie. Although I understood the movie more when I got older.

I saw Brubaker this summer of 2010. I'm born 1976 (34yrs old) so i very fascinated how i could miss a great movie like this during as these years

I managed to catch this when I first got cable television in the early to mid 80s. At the time I was probably 13 or so. We nicknamed my mother Brubaker because of her prison ward stance on going out with friends and throwing parties.
