Deserves a #1 spot on IMDb's top 250

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2017)

While this isn't my favorite movie of all time (although it would most likely be in my top ten), I can clearly tell why this movie is placed in the #1 spot on IMDb's Best Movies of All Time. It tells a truly powerful story, and is an inspirational one at that. Both Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman give stellar performances, and you truly care about what happens to each character. It's a tale on belief, hope, and the determination of what someone has to become successful. I've seen this movie about five times within the past year or so, and it still hasn't gotten old for me. This is definitely one of those movies that you have to see at one point in your life.
