MCT:May 16, 2008It was good for me that I did not watch it when it was released in 1994!!! Cause if I did I would not enjoy most of the movies after. Best Drama, and best story ever. This movie makes you happy. The Shawshank Redemption is a story of life itself. Hope and friendship are invaluable.

Such a WONDERFUL movie! A great, great, great adaptation of Stephen King's amazing short story. Tim Robbins is fantastic, as was Morgan Freeman.

Describes to perfection the life of a prisoner and his thoughts and feelings while he's secluded from the outside world....

When it comes to listing the contenders for the best film ever, I disagree with the suggestions. Those who want to look like film buffs to their friends champion The Godfather, calling the film flawless because everyone else does. Citizen Kane is great, but not the best. Casablanca doesn't hold up as well in the year 2008, and I have no intentions of sitting through 3 hours and 48 minutes-worth of Gone With The Wind. Also, if you think Pulp Fiction or Lord of the Rings is the best film ever then you're a retarded A-Level Film Studies student. Back to my point: it is about time I saw a film many dub as the best ever that could very well be exactly that. The Shawshank Redemption is a beautiful film that is perfect in every way. The best thing about Shawshank is the characters. They are so well constructed and acted that after a somewhat lengthy 142 minutes, you wish you could watch them for another 142 minutes and then some. The narrative is well thought out (thanks Stevie!), and the direction is superb. Along with this and The Green Mile - Frank Darabont could be one of the most overlooked directors in terms of fanboyism (but I heard he fucked up his next few films so oh well). I love this film to pieces and I can't believe it took me this long to finally watch it. This is definitely better than The Green Mile (another film I adore) and it could very well be my favourite film of all time. I guess I?ll have to give The Truman Show another viewing and carefully compare the two.

This movie is all about hope. A simple man. Innocent Man.
I cried, I laughed, I was scared...it's an ongoing emotional rollercoatser. One of Morgan Freemans and Tim Robbins best ever. I made this movie my number 1 movie ever. I just love it. A must watch. ~Tposted 92 days ago -
This is definitely my all time favourtie film. The Shawshank Redemption is a very moving story about hope and the power of friendship. The cast is first rate with everyone giving a great performance especially Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. I'd recommend it for anyone. Proof that Stephen King doesn't just write horror.
