It's a spiritual ride: The Shawshank Redemption

First shown in theater back in 1994, 'The Shawshank Redemption' was not an especially outstanding movie, not at all. A total of 142 minutes of run-time and the steady-pace story plot line was outran by 'Forrest Gump' in that year. It was not until the next year, the year of 1995, the year of 'The Shawshank Redemption' finally took it's pride in many of the awards - 12 Wins and 14 nominations, that's impressive.

It is also rated by users as the 'Top 1' movie in the history with an incredible '9.2' rating, followed closely by 'The God Father' with another '9.2' rating, and 'The God Father: Part II' with '9.0' rating.
