I can watch it over and over and over again ...

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2015)

There's not many movies I can watch over and over again, but this is one of them. It just feels pitch perfect. Well written, perfectly casted ... the cinematography is flawless. By far, Darabont's crown jewel. Everything just works so well. And Morgan Freeman's (now ubiquitous) narration is the heart and soul of the film. A dark but uplifting tale about hope and friendship. A timeless, Hollywood masterpiece.
I sometimes wonder if films like this will ever be made again? Would it even be possible for a movie like this to be greenlit today and compete with Fast & Furious 23? Probably not. If you haven't seen this movie, waste no time, find it and watch it.
