Shawskank's a really good movie but not the best. I'd probably go with The Godfather. Or Heat. I love that movie.

Best film ever is The Goonies!
Followed closely by Braveheart, Goodfellas, and The Silence of the Lambs.

Nothing with Tim Robbins could be the best film ever.

Well he did make Shawshank before he became so well known as a lefty d**che so I try to look past that.

Heat is one of the most underrated movies of all time . . . probably because of its inaccurate reputation as a “shoot ‘em up” action movie. Great cast, awesome story line, and compelling dialogue. Riveting, dramatic scenes, too.

It’s probably in the top 5 best prison movies ever.

Shawshank’s an example of a movie so compelling that you can watch it multiple times and feel a little bit more human and enlightened each time. There are a couple of dozen films like that. But the best one of all is Doctor Zhivago. David Lean is like Rembrandt with a movie camera; and the script is quote after quote as to why communism sucks to high heaven. Quotes and scenarios, like a parade (or a funeral procession) simply and mercilessly hammer communism into the ground.

"I think that’s a little crackers, to be honest"
Let's see what film critic Jeremiah Wright says
It only starred one black man. That's a lotta crackers!
To: Alberta's Child
Absolutely agree. It is definitely more than an action movie. Not a movie critic so won’t try to act like one but Heat operates on multiple levels and I think something different about it everytime I watch it.
