Some of the best quotes from the film;

"On the outside I was an honest man, straight as an arrow... I had to come to prison to be a crook."

"Get busy living or get busy dying"

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and a good thing never dies."

"I hope I can make it across the border, I hope to see my friend and shake his hand, I hope the Pacific Ocean is as blue as it has been in my dreams!"

Is this the best movie of all time?

It is in my top 1

Darren, I've seen the movie several times, and I definitely think it's one of my all time favorite. :]

"It is in my top 1."

Darren, you're as cute as they come.

One of my favorites too.

Still haven't watched this yet though I've heard much about it... thanks for sharing the quotes. Loved the one about hope especially.

One of my favorites for sure!

The universality of its appeal is amazing really: I reckon a huge amount of people would rate it as their favourite films. I'd have it up there for sure.

So many quotable lines but this is one that is perhaps my favourite.

'Sometimes it makes me sad, though... Andy being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. 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 in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.'

One thing that stands out for me, was the series of parole hearings for Morgan Freeman.

Yesss Larry!
that guy has the voice of a god
