Without question the greatest movie of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 1999)

Well, Shawshank Redemption is a perfect movie. There is no scene out of place, no piece of music that stands out, the moral is very clear, and it doesn't even need to be spelt out for you. The acting by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman complete the movie and make it the heart-warmer, the tear jerker, the nail biter, and the perfect movie that it is. After I saw it for the first time, I was instantly touched and a fan for life. I've only seen it three or four more times, but each time I see it, I learn something new, or discover a new angle of the story. I'd say that if you only see one movie for the rest of your life, it would have to be Shawshank Redemption. And if, after watching it, you can tell me that it isn't the best movie in the world, then I'd say that there is something seriously wrong with you.
