The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
One of the best movies ever made.
This is without a doubt one of the best movies I have ever watched. It has everything you can ever ask from a movie without being cheesy or over the top on any score.
I love the way the story is told by the main character himself. You can really see the life of a prisoner in there and the struggle they all go through. They somehow manage to find things to make them enjoy the time and eventually get used to the idea of staying inside the prison. They all learn to become friends but still finds enemies, like the warden and some of the guards. They are portrayed as the good guys even though they are prisoners who has committed crimes. You really bond to them through the screen and can look through their eyes. The ending of this movie, the first time I saw it, was so unexpected! The way he had spent so many years to carve a hole in the wall and then escape. And then the very last scene when they meet each other again on the beach! 10 out of 10!
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 (2013)
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part II
I had a really hard time believing that Part II would be better than Part I, I was wrong. This movie was packed from start to finish and I never found myself even the slightest bit bored.
The first part with the Joker could have been a movie by itself. It felt like over 1 hour of the movie had passed at that point, but in a good way. I was really excited from the ending of Part I when the Joker did his "B-B-B-Batmaaan, daaaarling" thing. The Joker was portrayed in a good way by the way he acted and talked throughout the movie.
One thing I did not like and that I didn't like from the first one either is how the new Robin is played.
I had some doubts about the Superman part, but it turned out really great and I love how the battle between them turned out, especially the ending!
Overall an awesome movie!
