No comment on these two??? Shawshank gets my vote.

Fellowship. but not by much.

These have passed one another many many times in my Top 10. They are equally amazing to me.
on 9/6/2010
Both amazing, but the more i think about it, the more i realize just how good Fellowship was.

Well this was difficult. Lord of the Rings for me.
Brooks was here. So was Red. As was TheEgant. Shawshank...

I can't stand movies like The Shawshank Redemption. To me, it has something I call 'schamltz' factor, in that the complete and total shameless playing to my emotions just turns me off. The swelling music, the "meaningful" gazes off into the distance, and the fact that all these criminals are such good guys just makes me want to puke. I sat through it while rolling my eyes effusively. It wasn't a 'feel good' movie, but rather a 'feel manipulated' one. Fellowship, on the other hand is a master level fantasy film with gorgeous costumes, amazing acting, and a convincing take on Tolkien's work. And also has very little schmaltz. That much can't be said for Shawshank.

It's all about which one you like more. Fellowship.

Fellowship

The Shawshank surely is a great great film and is very complete filled with emotion and great characters but LOTR for me, takes the victory

I love Shawshank to bits, but it can't compete with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, let alone my favourite of the three films. Fellowship wins.

Shawshank for the win.
on 8/22/2013
Shawshank... for now. Fellowship of the Ring is the best LOTR movie. Love each one, both in my top 10.
on 8/24/2013
Shawshank... although, I gotta give both a rewatch.

tough one but it has to be shawshank.

Not many movies can beat Shawshank for me, but the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is one of those rare cases
on 4/3/2014
LOTR easly
on 2/6/2016
Fellowship gets the easy win here
Fellowship is a real gem. Miles better than the Shawshank Redemption.

Shawshank Redemption is a far greater masterspiece than the universe of Tolkien.
on 1/1/2021
While The Shawshank Redemption is an experience that'll last a lifetime that is both rewatchable and touching, Fellowship is that rare film that will beat a masterpiece that has aged like fine wine, even if it's by one place for me.
on 8/24/2021
The drama beats the best fantasy.
i don't get how FOTR is winning by that much
on 12/10/2022
very close but I will go with shawshank for now

SSR is not very FUN to watch as its a prison movie. Its hard to ever watch a second time. Both movies are in my top 10. Fellowship is a joy to watch and has huge reply value. Going with Fellowship for the FUN FACTOR
i changed my mind. Shawshank is too powerful. The meaning of hope and survival is too strong. Sorry but Shawshank wins in double over time.
Both are brilliant but I choose LOTR
