The Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie of all time

Agreed. Great movie.

At first Red is all like "Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane."

At the end he's narrating "I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion isuncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. Ihope. "

Deep stuff I didn't even pick up the first time.

Great movie about friendship.

No order..


1. The Dark Knight.
2. Ali.
3. Gladiator.
4. Casino.
5. American Gangster.
6. City of God.
7. No Country for Old Men.
8. Saving Private Ryan.
9. Forrest Gump.
10. Hotel Rwanda.
11. Raging Bull.
12. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. (Probably my favorite, I love this movie).
13. The Godfather.
14. The Godfather 2.
15. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.


You liked Ali?
 
I take movies seriously I was aspiring to become a film critic but changed my choice of profession to lawyer...the best movie of all time is [color= rgb(0, 0, 255)]Citizen Kane[/color]. BTW Movies to watch of 08=The Wrestler, Milk, The Reader, BenjaminButton, Wall-E, Batman without mention,Revolutionary Road and Seven Pounds was good but not great and Gran Turino I missed some but oh well
 
Putting Dark Knight in front of Shawshank is laughable but to each their own .

Definitley one of the greatest ever .

You liked Ali?

Maybe I'm biased, I love Muhammad Ali...Though the movie didn't properly portray Ali how he should have been, it was good enough for me.

Now that I think about it I'd subsitute Gangs of New York over TDK in that list and ahead of Shawshank.

ALI was horrible...one viewing and never again....

As least you keep it real and state that these are movies YOU feel are better....i totally disagree though.
 
I won't disagree because this movie is pure greatness, and it's all a matter of opinion

it isn't personally the greatest of all time to me, but it is up there

such a good movie
 
I was waiting for someone to mention the dark knight being a better movie than the shawshank redemption.

"Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying."> The Dark Knight

i don't know how people view the dark knight in such high regard, in the end its still a comic book movie.

one of my friends swore the dark knight had some type of philosophical story behind it.

i know dog, I love TDK as much as the avg joe, but jeesh, dudes be acting like its so much DEEP meaning behind it....lmao it was the mostpredictable movie i'd ever seen...nothing against it, but the masses are dumb. Heath Ledgers performance made the movie...w/o him, Iron Man wasbetter.

Its a good flick and all, I'm not saying its not. Alot of quotables, definately well casted but....




There are only so many times I can see this movie w/o it weathering on me. I'm never to where I feel the need that I need to own this movie, I never feellike "damn, I need to hear Red know every creepy detail about Andy"...
 
I'd deff put it in my top 5

1 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
2 Godfather part 2
3 Fight Club
4 Shawshank Redemption
5 Seven/Godfather/ Taxi Driver/Departed
 
Yo this movie really is good. I saw someone post that it was a good movie a while back so i decided to buy it, and this movie is great. Yo NT members got somegood taste.

The Departed was a better movie imo takes place in Boston..45 mins away from where i live.
