They're showing Shawshank Monday through Thursday this week on AMC. It's on twice each night--8 and then 11. I've been watching it whenever I can (although I turn the second showing off at about 1:30 so I don't go to sleep too late). Every night I look forward to it like I haven't seen it in ages. As far as I'm concerned, it's the best movie ever (at least that I've seen) after the first Godfather. My mom puts it at number 1, as does Imdb.com (Shawshank has been at or near the very top on the Imdb Top 250 Movies list for more than 10 years, and it only came out in 1994).

Forrest Gump is certainly a very good, if not great, movie in its own right, but it now seems comically ridiculous that it made exponentially more at the box office than Shawshank.
