I never tire of this one. A fine example of the importance of STORY.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Immortal movie. It's the jubilant kind of experience that you can delight in again and again. If I'm lowballing it a little it's because the clichés have gotten to me.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

This is one of the finest examples of modern storytelling I can remember. The storyline, the acting, and the magic of this tale make it a classic that is worth watching again.
