few like it

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2000)

Recently, the quality of movies seems to have gone down. There are too many action flicks and cheap comedies and not enough really good movies. There are very few that have been made recently that are moving and contain powerful messages. The Shawshank redemption is one. I can honestly say that I look at many aspects of life differently because of this movie. And yet it saddens me that so many people that I know have never even seen it. I have always thought of it as under-appreciated. It was because of seeing this movie ranked 3rd on the top 250 that I became a member of this site. It stands out as one of the best movies ever made.
