A Truly Epic Redemotion! Every Prisoner must see

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2010)

For a long time now I had seen this movie move up the IMDb ladder and make its way to becoming #1, I was a bit irritated being that it took the spot of "The Godfather" however, this was before I had ever laid my eyes on even a trailer for this film, so I researched through the credits and found out that it was based on a novel by one of my favorite writers "Stephen King", I know what your thinking, how could he be one of my favorite writers if I didn't even have a clue about this Masterpiece. July 24, 2010 was my movie day, I promised myself I was going to stay up 24 Hours watching some of my favorite Films, I started of at around 12:45 with the controversial, sadistic, genius, masterpiece that is "A Clockwork Orange", then after my brain was through with Ultra-Violence I proceeded watching the best sequel ever made in the History of cinema "The Godfather Part II", then after I felt like a Corleone I started watching the Coen Brothers Masterpiece "No Country For Old Men", then after feeling lost I started watching "Pulp Fiction" and after that the time was around 4:30 P.M. and I broke my promise to myself and took what I thought was going to be a 2 Hour Nap which turned into a 6 Hour Intermission, I woke up around 10:00 deciding which movie I was going to watch and I wanted it to be a Classic I had never seen, I was thinking "12 Angry Men" but for some reason I wanted to see what the all this fuss was about when it came to Shawkshank Redemption" so I rented it and started watching around 11:45 P.M., Let me just say after this movie left an Impact in my Life and Mind, I now actually know why it is #1 on this site and it is for good reason, this movie made me laugh hysterically at times like in "Animal House", it made me think like "Fight Club" does at times, it made me frightened like "The Shining" at times and I have no other movie to reference my Sobbing emotions with because no other film has made me Cry, and that should tell you that after a day of Great Films this one had the biggest Impact on me.
