"I’m going to say The Shawshank Redemption. It’s just one of those films that… The acting is brilliant — it knocks you over the head, it really does — and just the story."

Spent yesterday evening giving my kiddo a film education in Stephen King... Pet Sematary and The Shining. Can't wait for the PS remake...maybe we will do a little Shawshank Redemption today before we celebrate Christmas early.

1994 saw 3 of the most memorable Best Picture nominees in the same year of all time.

Here's how they broke down for box office performance:

Forrest Gump - $329 million (top grossing film of the year)

Pulp Fiction - $107 million (10th highest grossing film of the year)

The Shawshank Redemption - $28.3 million (51st highest grossing film of the year) - sad to say beaten by In the Army Now starring Pauly Shore

Here are their current IMDb star rankings:

Forrest Gump - 8.8
Pulp Fiction - 8.9
The Shawshank Redemption - 9.3

These films are all about to turn 25 years old in a few months. Although Forrest Gump won Best Picture in 1994, has it endured as well as the others? What do you think?

Which is your favorite?

Feel free to also comment your thoughts below. I would love to hear them.

One of THE best movies I've seen in years
We've all heard about Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile - how they exceed when watched anyone's expectations. Well this film is one of them......mesmerising, compelling, heart-wrenching. Absolute classic of a movie

Great true story
Possibly the best film I have seen based on a true story. A talented boxer is put in prison for 3 murders he didn't commit, will he ever be able to prove his innocence? If you liked Shawshank Redemption (Who doesn't?) You will like this.
