I cry every time I watch this film. This movie is perfect.

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 1999)

There is only one film better than this masterpiece... TITANIC. It is truly a moving and glorious story about what is most important in our lives. Friendship, love, hope and belonging. The roof-top scene is one I will never forget. The acting by both leads is subtly magnificent. The script can throw you into tears at any time. It is not simply a prison flick or a buddy flick. I find it amazing how many people feel the same way I do about this film. I've read the comments and over and over again the same words... The best film of all time. Of course, time will tell it's legacy... it is still very young. No one went to see it when it came out but people have discovored it over the years. Word of mouth has transformed this quiet film into one of the most praised films ever. Congratulations to all those who were a part of the making of this film, and to all those who have the soul to understand it. Old souls will love the film. Steer clear if you like Bruckheimer films... this slice of cinematic beauty is not for you. I LOVE THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION!!! I am a better person for having watched it. I love film more than ever after having watched it. I can't imagine the world of film without it.
