0 One of the best 

The Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies of all time.  I have never met someone who said they didn't like it.  Yet, when you ask why, most people have no reason for saying that it is so great.  So I really sat down and took a minute to try and figure it out.  What I have come up with is that people love the good vs. evil plot.  Especially when the roles are reversed, the guards are the bad guys and the prisoners are the good guys.  It could be that the main character finally gets what he deserves.  Or it could just be Moran Freeman.
