I even have a book that was in the library in the movie as a prop!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2014)

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE movie ever. My children (whom also love it) will not watch it with me because I say the lines all the way through. I LOVE Morgan Freeman's voice, just something very comforting to me, like home. The part where Red is describing how Andy got out just fills my heart and to see Andy's smile at the end bring it full circle! If you like this I would suggest: Murder in the First (Kevin Bacon) and The Last Castle (Robert Redford) both very different even though they are prison based and same era based movies they go in different directions. I do not live very far from the prison in SR. My mom did some kind of day trip/tour there and bought a small hard bound book that had been used as a prop in the library scene (just sitting on the shelf with others not actually "used" in the movie)
