Andy Dufresne: That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you... Haven't you ever felt that way about music? Red: I played a mean harmonica as a younger man. Lost interest in it though. Didn't make much sense in here. Andy Dufresne: Here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget. Red: Forget? Andy Dufresne: Forget that... 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. Red: What're you talking about? Andy Dufresne: Hope. Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency.

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 portraying Andy is perfect at showing Andy's intelligent and calm nature, Morgan Freeman as 'Red', a fellow prisoner that befriends Andy and tries to understand Andy's thinking, and even Bob Gunton who plays the warden bringing his the warden's hypocrisy to life. Music in the movie is awesome fitting in perfectly for each scene and never kills the mood but enhances it. Visually the cinematographic is spot on showing emotio...Read more

"The Shawshank Redemption" is about a man who is put into prison for killing somebody. At first he is having a difficult time coping with it. During the process he meets an inspirational man played by Morgan Freeman. They bond and begin learning from one another. The relationship between the two is amazing and they do great on camera. This is definitely one of the most inspirational films I have ever watched. It is a true classic.

This movie is absolutely amazing! I would give it 10 stars if i could! The story is very powerful and unlike any other that I have seen before. Watching this should make you feel sad, but the ending leaves you with a really nice feeling. It really is all about hope, redemption and freedom. The cast were perfect for their roles, especially the two main characters played by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Overall this is one of the best movies I have ever seen! Definitely in my top 4 movies of all time!

This is what I call a movie masterpiece. There isn't a thing about this film that could be improved, it's simply superb. The Shawshank Redemption is by far my favourite film of all time! And it so deserves to be #1 on imdb's Top 100 chart.

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 if you haven't seen it yet, you owe it to yourself to make sure it's the next film you watch, no exceptions allowed. I think why this movie will likely always remain at number 1 spot is that it appeals to all people, young & old, male & female.
