Shawshank Redemption is my all-time favorite. It's a very moving moive about hope, the human spirit and friendship.

Some memorable lines from the movie:

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice ... but still the place you live is that much more drab and empty when they're gone.

Salvation lies within.

Some things are better left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.

The music was here...here. That's the one thing they can't confiscate, not ever. That's the beauty of it. Haven't you ever felt that way about music, Red?

We need it (music) so we don't forget that there are things in this world not carved out of gray stone. That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock away, and that place is called hope.

(Back luck) it floats around. Has to land on somebody . Say, a storm comes through. Some folks sit in their living rooms and enjoy the rain. The house next door gets torn out and smashed flat. It was my turn. That's all. I was in the path of tornado. I just had no idea the storm would go on as long as it has.

I guess it comes to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying.
