...I do actually think it's the definitive prision movie. You have Shawhank and Papillon.
Probably in my top 50. Though I've never cared enough to make a list.

Proof that Oscars for Best Picture are not as timeless as any film ever nominated for it or any other film ever made, should have won the Oscar for BP. One of the best films ever and is easily in my top 5 all-time! A true classic film!

Man what an over-rated flick. I mean, it's *good*, but it's nowhere near the elevated realm of superiority with which people seem to regard it. So it's nowhere near my Top 10, Top 100, or even Top 500.

It's an excellent film, though it isn't one of my all-time favorites. I could name off a few prison movies that I enjoy more but then I'd probably be called a pretentious elitist.
I can certainly understand why a lot of people love the film and consider it among their favorites.

The Shawshank Redemption is an excellent movie, but it's not one of my favorites. As a previous poster mentioned, there were a lot of excellent films that came out that year.
