One Movie to rule them all

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2010)

It's no surprise as to why this film tops the list. Morgan Freeman gives the performance of a lifetime and everyone will agree that he was robbed of a lot of awards that he deserved. Frank Darabont took a huge risk in putting a well used and clichéd idea to the screen and did what no director could ever do. He made the movie better than the book.I first watched the shawshank redemption in 2004 (10 years after it first came out) and remember myself being so intrigued and moved by a movie. I have never felt this much enthusiasm about a film before. It is without a doubt, the best motion picture of all time and if had been released now instead of 1994 I reckon it could have beaten Avatar and The hurt locker at the Oscars.
10 out of 10 for the movie, the director and the actors who gave heartbreaking and moving performances, my hat goes off to them.
