Shawshank Redemption

Director : Frank Darabont
Year : 1994
imdb score : 9.2/10 imdb rank:#1

Plot:
Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency. The Shawshank Redemption is an eminently engaging film about two imprisoned convicted murderers in the nineteen-fifties. Andy Dufresne (wonderfully portrayed by Tim Robbins), is innocent, however. Convicted of killing his wife and her lover (a crime for which he clearly had a strong motive), he really "didn't do it". Of course, as his jailbird friend "Red" (equally well- portrayed by Morgan Freeman) puts it, "Everybody in here is innocent." Well, Red is "the only guilty man" in Shawshank Prison. As their friendship develops, Andy learns the ropes of prison. 
 
 
Meanwhile, the warden (Bob Gunton) decides that Andy, a well-educated former banker could carry out something more useful than laundry. So, he installs Andy as the prison librarian, and later, as his an accountant (he does taxes for all the jail's employees). Andy also assists the warden in laundering money (as he tells Red, "I was always an honest man - I had to come to jail to become a crook!") 
This is one of my favorite movie.

Memorable Quotes:
 Red: [narrating] Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.
