The Shawshank Redemption

The Shawshank Redemption is certainly one of the greatest movies of all time. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman became some of my favorite actors after watching this the first time.

There's so much symbolism in it, some great lines, some surprises, some real funny scenes, and some thought provoking ideas. I can't really think of one specific thing that makes it great, but I really felt like I was in prison while I watched it (I guess that sounds negative, but I mean it in a good way). So many characters were developed so well. Oh, and the background music is fantastic.
