Best movie on my personal list

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2010)

Yep I have to agree with so many others. I am a movie fan who usually watches about 5 a week on average. I actually keep track of every movie I watch in my own personal data sheet. This one is at the very top of my list.
No movie I know of has better character development than The Shawshank Redemption. The movie has a few challenging scenes but most of it has a relaxed, even attractive quality to it. Just about anything Morgan Freeman does is good for me. I just can't help but like that man.
I too thought this was Tim Robins' best role.
I enjoyed the revenge component and somewhat happy ending even though it may have been a bit of a stretch.
Great stuff. Good movie making. Good story writing. Great screenplay. Cinematography was appropriate. I felt like I was there with them.
