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

Doesn't seem worth it when there are so many more interesting films out there.I can't believe you will be writing for TheReelists.With films from Van Sant, Miyazaki, Kubrick, Goddard, Kurosawa, Bergman, and countless others that I have to catch up on, Shawshank seems understandably pedestrian.
In my film critic days I wrote numerous articles on the greatness of V for Vendetta. It's amazing, and few people (inc. fans) notice that the entire last third is almost completely montage and cross-cutting. The editing of the film is brilliant.
