Simply perfect.

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 1998)

I was so surprised and glad to see this movie as high as it is on this site's list. It is one of my favorite movies and so many people missed out on it because of GUMP, which I personally feel is an inferior movie.
Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman give incredibly moving and restrained performances that moved me to tears more than once. The direction and timing were flawless, and the story itself inspirational. It is so nice to see a Stephen King movie done right for once.
This is simply a wonderful movie, worth watching over and over again.
