Jesus, what a choice! Cuckoo's Nest will forever be a classic in my heart and it will live on as a near-perfect film, but I can't help but be moved every time I watch Shawshank and I gotta pick the latter.

Is it just me, or are these movies really similar? For example, (SPOILER ALERT) both of them are about a guy who goes somewhere he shouldn't be (mental hospital or prison) and becomes best friends with someone there. There is an unfair dictator taking care of them (the nurse or the warden). The main character rebels , and everybody thinks of him as a hero. One of the people commits suicide. Both movies are great movies that are heartwarming and sad. Hard choice.

Shawshank Redemption. Both are films which you find yourself constantly revisiting, but The Shawshank is just a better experience.

It certainly is hard. Two men who have to conform to live in a place where they're certainly not what it says on record. I think Shawshank barely slips past.

How the hell does this only have 4 comments, I thought were two of the films that are widely considered to be the greatest film of all time? While I think neither one comes close to that title they are both great movies, I'm going with Shawshank.
