The runner up on my list is the insanely good emotional roller coaster the Shawshank redemption. Every single act in this film is perfect and should always be near the number one spot on a top movie list. Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies that if you see it on TV, your instinct will be to watch all of it. It is one of the only movies which can make you smile, laugh and cry all at once. It is incredible and timeless and is not overrated in any sense. Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman head this classic. The friendship that forms between these two is incredible fun to watch as it develops. It is a longer movie but once you see the ending and how complex and amazing the plot is, you will see how beautiful of a movie this is. This film is also a good look into what goes on behind prison walls. In this movie, many of the prisoners are good people caught at the wrong place and the wrong time. I do not think I have ever felt for so many characters in one film before. 
This movie is set in the 50s and 60s and it stars Tom Hanks, a bank broker who has been wrongfully accused of the murder of his wife. He is thrown into Shawshank prison where he meets the other prisoners. He begins a friendship with Morgan Freeman's character as the two bond over prison life and whats happening around them. Throughout the film, you have no idea what is going to happen. You are unsure if they find escape, they die or they let them out of jail. The twists and turns in this film turn into cinematic gold. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of film.
Lol...Tom Hanks? Really? :)
