Definitely one of my top 10. Even though I don’t care for Tim Robbins' politics, his portrayal of Andy was superb. At first I had a hard time accepting him in that role (in Steven King’s short story, Andy is small in stature, not tall like Robbins). Morgan Freeman was even better. Freeman is a one of the greatest actors ever and this is one of his best pictures. I have the DVD and find myself watching it a couple of times a year just for inspiration.

Another one of my favorites! Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are excellent in this movie. I heard once that this is a guys "chick flick"...altho I don't necessarily agree w/ that, it does tug at the heart strings. This is the story of one man's trial and tribulations when he is sent to prison. Great story!

My favorite non-comedic movie ever! The characters are depicted so vividly that I truly found myself hating the warden and the prison guard and geniunely feeling sorry for the prisoners. It's not often when you think of criminals, particularly murderers, as the good guys. Great performances by all, especially Freeman and Robbins.

This was an excellent movie. How many Stephen King books are on this list anyways, I think I counted at least 3 or 4. The plot, the characters, the settings, not one detail was left out of this movie. It's my daughter and brother's all time favorite movie and it's up pretty high for me too. I've seen it at LEAST 8 times and would watch it again if it was on right now. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, both deserved Oscars for this film. To bad Forest Gump was up against it, it sure was a tough call that year. Shawshank will be around a lot longer than Gump I think-it's timeless.

A great work of art by Stephen King. Brilliant, a Masterpiece. Very well written and thought out. The storyline is extremely tight & well constructed. This film should have won the Oscar for Best Picture but unfortunately it came out the same year as Forest Grump. Forest Grump won the Best Picture Oscar because it was oatmeal for the masses and could be digested easily. When I saw Shawshank Redemption in New York City you could hear a pin drop. That's how captivating a story it is. When the sadistic prison guard captain beat the new inmate to death the audience's eyes were glued to the moviescreen. The film speaks volumes about feelings of despair and hope. The Count of Monte Cristo would have been proud of Andy Dufresne.

One of the greatest movies ever made. Most of the cast did an ecceptional acting job. However, Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins stole the show. This is a perfect flowing movie in every aspect (plot buildup, musical score, stosphere, ec.). One cannot claim to have seen the best movies of all time unless they have seen "The Shawshank Redemption."

An amazing and life-affirming film. What's more amazing is that it did not win Best Picture the year it was released. It apparently didn't do amazing box office business when it came out but made an incredible comeback when released on video. The title put some people off but word of mouth spread and it became a bonafide blockbuster. Well-deserved. Great ending too.

Strengths: One of the best movies I have ever seen, well acted, directed, everything was perfect. One of the best movies I have ever seen. Very good movie. A+ all the way.

Weakness: The ending should be a little longer, happy and good ending though.

This is one of those movies that really captures you and makes you really "feel" the pain and life of an innocent but convicted murderer. Andy, a recent banker, is smart as a whip and is brilliantly played by Tim Robbins. Morgan Freeman co-stars as is also great. The story is great, it's a grueling story through the eyes of an innocent man who manages to keep hope. This movie compared to "The Green Mile" is a tough one. Both are somewhat similar but this movie is deeper. 5 out of 5 stars this movie gets.

Superb well crafted film about an innocent man Andy Dufresne(Tim Robbins) who is convicted of murdering his wife and the changes he goes through while in prison. Standout peformances by Robbins, Morgan Freeman, James Whitmore and Bob Gunton as the cruel warden. The movie has rightly become a modern movie classic.

This movie is a classic. It will stand the test of time because I've seen bits & pieces of it over and over on TV and it's hard to change the channel. Easy to watch. Great acting. But there is one part of the film that's clearly just a shameful attempt to tug at the heartstrings.

The only reason this movie did not win the BEST MOVIE Oscar was because it was released the same year as FOREST GUMP. Tough competition. I may not agree with Tim Robbins politics but he sure is one hell of a good actor. Morgan Freeman is one of the all time greats. Morgan Freeman's son is also in this movie. He played one of the cons yelling at the new arrivals near the bigining of the film. He was the one acting like he a had a fishing rod. In the Novella APT PUPIL (also by Stephen King) it is mentioned that Andy Dufrense handled the stocks for the lead charector in the story. Nice to see a little continuty in King's work.

A movie with a miracle. This is a make-you-feel good movie. This movie will give in courage in life. It tells you that miracles do happen, but it's not something that we get just by sitting there and wanting it to come. You have to work hard and always believe in the things that you're doing. I mean after all, a miracle is not some magical thing, it's just our will and desire to thrive hard to get where we want go, and if you never give up, you'll eventually get there.

It's rare for a movie these days to take it's time telling a story, and that's what Shawshank Redemption does. This film is very well written, well acted and compelling from beginning to end. There's no explosions, there's no silliness, it's just a simple, warm, honest, comtemplative film with a story that brings the audience along with it. Great movie; you'll think it ends too quickly.

Everybody loves shawshank, it's dificult to see anything beating it for the 'peoples' choice for best film of all time. Brilliant from start to finish. The unfolding scenes from when Andy is sat in the yard talking to Red, just let out from solitary confinement, to the films close are as satisfying to watch as anything in cinema.

I can honestly say that I have never heard anyone say a bad thing about this movie. The message about the triumph of the human spirit contained in it is universal and seems to appeal to everyone regardless of gender, age, race, etc. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman give fantastic, heartfelt performaces along with their exceptionally strog supporting cast. This is a timeless movie that gets it right on every level - a wonderful version of Stephen King's excellent story.

This is my favorite movie of all time. I own the DVD and have watched it maybe 25 times. My family laughs and makes fun on me when I watch it. I’ve never really been able to determine what draws me to it. I have noticed that there are no women characters in the movie other than incidental (the opening scenes where his wife is shown, some of the jury, the last parole board has a representative, the board house woman and the grocery store), thus all the interaction of any substance is between men. This is not what I usually watch. Somehow the isolation and introspection by the characters seems important. I usually have plot criticisms of movies such as when characters do things that are nonsensical, something requires 1000-to-one odds to work and works, or cars roll over and there is a small nuclear detonation to enhance a scene. But the plot in SR is flawless. I’ll read some more of the reviews.

Shawshank Redemption is a good movie, but highly overrated. On IMDb, it's rated No.2 best of all time. There is no way it's better than Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, which is rated No.3 of all time on the IMDb's top 250 list. On a scale of 1-10 for Shawshank: 9/10, but not 2nd best or first best of all time for drama.

I rented the Shawshank Redemption because I had taken an online survey about movies I liked and disliked. this movie forum would then take my ratings of movies and reccomend movies they thought I would like. I was surprised when they said the Shawshank Redemption. Me, like a movie about prison? I was sure they must be mistaken. Well I rented it and loved it. Tim Robbins,was great as the man who was wrongly accused of a double murder. He ended up in prison for decades. Morgan Freeman was also good as a fellow prisoner.I was expecting a movie about lots of violence and was surprised to find out it was more about how tim Robbins character survived his decades in prison and his victory in the end.A bit too long but a great movie.

This is tied for my #1 movie with One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975).

Definatelly one of Frank Darabont's greatest work. His adaptation of Stephen King's original novel was just fabulous. This movie really speaks to the soul, and people can learn alot from this masterpiece.

This is definitely one of the best movies, uhhhhh..... ever. Entertaining and thought-provoking. I saw the movie, then read the short little story that created the three hours. Maybe because I already knew the story, but the movie was better than the book. Not many movies do that. It actually made me want to become a penologist improving America's prison system.

Another incredible movie! When I first heard what it was about, I have to admit, I was not eager to see it. I rented it when it came out on video. I wish that I had seen it in the theatre. Not for the graphics (wasn't any really) but just to really get into the movie. To see it much better on the big screen. All of the actors did such an incredible job on this film, I thought they all deserved an Oscar!

As much as i do not like Tim Robbins i must say that this is the masterpiece of his career so far. This movies could have been another jail-break film but Tim and Morgan Freeman ( and the rest of the cast of inmates and officers) carry the weight of the drama with deep passion to the point in which you actually feel pity for the prision men. The scene where Tim finally reaches freedom is a powerfull and memorable one and the kind you have to rewind over and over.

I think that this movie was absolutely excellent!, The way he seemed to feel like he had nothing left, and then as if out of nowhere he felt he got the redemption that he deserved. I think that it was just soooooo good!!!!

This is one I can watch about once a year. It has to be a good movie for me to watch it more than once in a lifetime. Loved the ending.

I believe “The Shawshank Redemption” is the best movie ever created. The movie was directed extremely well, it has excellent cast, and above all, it has brilliant and wonderful story. It is funny, sensitizes, sophisticated and has an astonishing end - every thing a movie should have. When I first saw this movie, I was very impressed, especially from its end. From that time, I manage to see it at least ten times and each time I saw it again, I enjoy it like I haven’t seen it at all; I even see things that I haven’t noticed before. I think that everyone should see this movie at least one time, and if you haven’t seen it yet, go see it - I promise you that you’ll enjoy every second of it.

"You either get busy living, or you get busy dying." This is a tightly crafted movie you have to see twice to fully appreciate; things you learn at the end of the first viewing change the way you interpret the events from earlier in the movie. The only flaw IMHO is Stephen King's stilted views of prison guards (too cruel) and prisoners (many too sheepish).

This is one of my favourite movies. I've seen it a million times and I never get sick of it. All of the actors in this movie do a great job and the movie keeps your attention all the way through. Definitely worth seeing.
