The Shawshank Redemption with 2 minutes cut off the end is perfect.

fyp.

I never understood people's problem with the ending.

The ending is fine. It just feels anticlimactic. Doesn't ruin the movie, but it's just ok, not perfect as Smirnoff is suggesting.

Well, the movie was never building to a big climax sort of ending, but rather a heartfelt goodbye sort of ending, and it delivered.

Yeah I think the ending is perfect. The whole movie is pretty perfect. In fact it just so happens Im going to be watching it with someone tonight. She's never seen it and this is a flaw that must be corrected.

I've never seen that film either. Doesn't seem worth it when there are so many more interesting films out there.

I need to see V For Vendetta again. I love the graphic novel but can't remember the movie too well. Chardy putting it at #1 has gotten me interested in seeing it again.

Hurray!

I can't believe you will be writing for TheReelists.

Shawshank's ending would be so much better without the beach stuff. The hope is the moving part, not the confirmation.

To me, ending Shawshank without the beach stuff would be like ending Star Wars when Luke turns off his targeting computer.
