One of those movies that just feels perfect. Speaks to the human condition in a comionate, hopeful way that you don't see much in films like these. Some really wonderful performances and a bittersweet, incredible ending.

Shawshank is a strong exploration of endurance and humanity, it begins utterly bleak and devastating, but, should you stick with Andy and Red, turns into a story of hope and finding new promise even in the worst conditions, and Robbins and Freeman are an engaging duo.

A flop in theaters, this one became a classic when it hit cable, where it seemed to constantly be airing somewhere on some channel. This is all about finding freedom, finding yourself, and also taking advantage of crooked cops.

Simply the best.

Awesome!
