Frank Darabont, the director of The Shawshank Redemption, has words for the millions of people who believe his 1994 prison drama is the greatest film of all time. “I think that’s a little crackers, to be honest, especially when you think of the other films on the list.” He means films such as The Godfather, Citizen Kane, Lolita, Vertigo and foreign-language contenders like Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Conformist, Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt, Luis Buñuel’s Belle de jour or Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant.

I liked it but to be fair, the best film ever was “The Parent Trap.” both versions.

Negative. Australian film Dead Alive is far superior.

Not even in the top 50. Maybe somewhere between 50 and 100.

'Gladiator' is the best film ever made. "What we do in life echoes in eternity."
