What can I say...

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2000)

This film is, with no shadow of a doubt what so ever, the best movie that I have ever had the wonderous pleasure to view. Films like Shawshank are what allow me to love movies and to cherish wonderful stories. I can say that I'm a critical gremlin- I'm constantly attempting to find faults, flaws and plot holes in every movie i see- yes, I'm that guy who always says it was only an ok movie when you loved it- But... this one is so powerful, so beautiful, so absolutely inspiring that I couldn't care if there was a plot hole or a flaw, its just too good of a film to attack. To Hell with Forest Gump for winning over Shawshank, to Hell with Titanic, Shakespeare in garbage, The English Idiot, and Forest Dump- these movies all sucked, sucked, sucked to begin with but compared to the diamond jewel of Shawshank, they look as good as sitcoms made by Fox. So anyway, my favorite movie of all time and only one of three movies worthy of a ten rating.
