Liam Gaughan is a writer at Collider with a passion for classic films and the work of Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
The Shawshank Redemption is widely considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, even if it wasn’t originally perceived to be a massive hit. Even though adaptations of Stephen King’s work were very popular at the time, The Shawshank Redemption was a box office disappointment that infamously lost the Academy Award for Best Picture to Forrest Gump, a decision that has many cinephiles still shaking their heads in disbelief.
Both The Shawshank Redemption and It’s A Wonderful Life have stood the test of time because of their amazing characters, who serve as role models. George Bailey is a caring and honorable father that anyone wanting to protect their family should aspire to act like, and Andy Dufresne and Red are friends who learn to share their positivity with other men in challenging positions.
Both Cool Hand Luke and The Shawshank Redemption invert expectations of what a prison movie should feel like because they are surprisingly humorous at times and aren’t afraid to make their main characters look a little silly when they do wild things to escape boredom.
Both One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and The Shawshank Redemption contain some truly shocking moments where beloved characters are killed, leaving the viewer in suspense as to who will make it out alive. There are only a few films that can be described as both inspirational and heartbreaking, but The Shawshank Redemption and One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest fit those descriptions.
In The Name of the Father has an important message on its mind that should be seriously considered by any viewer willing to check it out. Release Date December 10, 1999 Cast Tom Hanks , Michael Clarke Duncan , David Morse , Bonnie Hunt , James Cromwell , Michael Jeter , Graham Greene , Doug Hutchison Runtime 189 Minutes Writers Stephen King , Frank Darabont 2 ‘Animal Factory’ Directed by Steve Buscemi Animal Factory is a very underrated prison film from Steve Buscemi, who has proven to be just as talented as a director as he is as an actor.
