''There are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours.''

Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.

Not a single review for this one? I'm shocked.

It's number 1 IMDB (ignore the fact that Godfather, which has less votes and lower IMDB score is still holding #1 spot for past year, Shawshank is the TRUE number 1 IMDB movie). And the highest rated popular movie on here as well.

But i guess a movie like this doesn't really need reviews; it's absolutely perfect, and... read more

What can be said about this movie that hasn't already been said before?

Shawshank is based on the novella by Stephen King and is about Andy Dufresne, a banker wrongly put in prison for murdering his wife and her lover, and how he handles life inside Shawshank State Prison.

Acting by every person in this movie are all Oscar worthy in my book, from Tim Robbins portrayin... read more

My 50 Favorite Movies (50 movies items)

"Directed by: Frank Darabont With: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton Plot: Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency. "There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I ca"

Some of my favorite movies. (20 movies items)

" ___ DIRECTED BY ~Frank Darabont ─ Red : I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made thos"

Greatest Film Tearjerking Moments Q - Z (51 movies items)

"The liberating, uplifting scene of the Shawshank inmates drinking cold beers on the sunny rooftop and feeling like 'free men' while the heroic innocent convict Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) smiled off to the side in the shade, and the similar transcendental scene in which Andy played Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro over the Shawshank prison loudspeakers; the tragic scene of released aging prisoner Brooks Hatlen's (James Whitmore) suicide by hanging after carving "BROOKS WAS HERE" on the wooden arc"
