2. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Directed by Frank Darabont
Starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman
Nominated for 7 Academy Awards, Including Best Picture and Best Actor (Freeman).
The Shawshank Redemption will someday go down as the best film of all time. Why? Because for many people under 30, it is their favorite movie of all time. It was mine for a while, too. Now it's second. But technically, it's tied with #1, which will be revealed tomorrow (of course, you could always go to my profile and find out what it is, but where's the fun in that?). Everything about this movie just plain works. It's a movie that, no matter how long, you will never, ever be bored with.

man, SR is such a good film.
afi just needs to pop that one up at least to the top 5 of their list.
"Shawshank Redemption" is an extremely well made movie and Morgan Freeman is just plain amazing in it...but top 5 movies of all time? I'm not sure it's that good.
Shawshank deserves, without a doubt, to be in at least the top ten of all time.
