The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

[BF4L]

Maybe one of the best films I have ever seen.

 

[RoboticDreams]

I agree. I've seen that movie at least 20 times.

good to borderline great film (top 5 of its release year), but how it gets the ridiculous praise and IMDB ratings etc it does is beyond me. fanbois, I guess.

Perhaps they are of the same mindset that I am. Obviously you don't feel the same.

I thought it was great the first time I saw it, but they run it on TV too much now.

 

[HammerDown]

Easily in my top 10 all time. Great in every way.

You know that so many flaming shitstorms on this site could be avoided with a simple statement like this?

morgan freeman sure earned a lot of freckles in that one

To this day, if it's on TV and I happen to flip by it, I end up watching it.

And I have it on Bluray already.

I was one of the very few lucky enough to see it in its original theatrical run. Nobody went to see it until months later when they re-released it due to its Academy Award noms.

I was 16, and went by myself because I couldn't get anybody else to go with me.

One of the most amazing artistic experiences of my young life.

 

[UTVolCountry]

One of my all-time favotites. Maybe my all-time favorite.

Stephen King is a hell of a story teller, I like some of his horror stuff, but this was his best.

[packerzrule]

I can be a friend to you

 

[ThruTheEyesOfRuby]

I was psyched to see this movie because I'd read the Stephen King story years beforehand. One of the rare instances where my expectations (high as they were) were far, far surpassed.

 

[TrentW]

By far the best movie ever made.

Shawshank, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction and Quiz Show all up for best picture in 94, what an amazing year. To see some of the finalists for Best Picture in recent years it's laughable.

That's truly an amazing selection. No Michael Bay films there.
