I love movies, always have, always will. I love good movies even more! So, I decided it was time to make sure I've seen what's commonly accepted as the 100 greatest, as decided by the AFI. Some of the movies on the list I've seen a million times, some I've seen maybe once when I was little. With the help of my streaming subscription to Netflix, and getting my little red envelopes in the mail too, I will definitely conquer this list - and I can't wait! Please feel free to watch along or add comments about your movies as I watch them! Get the popcorn and milkduds ready!

#72 The Shawshank Redemption

1994
Directed by: Frank Darabont
Starring: Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman

One of my favorites, I think I've seen this movie a hundred times.  It's so simple, and so detailed at the same time. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are perfect in their roles.  There's nothing bad I can say about this movie.  And who didn't want to go to Zihuatanejo after seeing it!

Funny trivia- Kevin Costner turned down the role of Andy, and the part of Tommy (the young guy who comes in and tries to prove Andy is innocent) was originally intended for Brad Pitt.

Up next: Saving Private Ryan
