Just watched "Shawshank Redemption" all the way through for the first time.

Godfather l
Godfather ll
Pulp Fiction
Casablanca
Maltese Falcon
Good Fellas
Fences
Hidden Figures
Chinatown
That's enough for now. Anyone have any to add?

another Stephen King prison story, perhaps a little more inclined toward the supernatural, but still a great yarn with a satisfying conclusion. 
And not just because of my username. 
It's almost strange to see so many stars in that movie, way back in the early 80's.
Especially Jeff Goldblum. Who hasn't changed one bit, it seems. Which is a good thing.
I'm sure you'll watch it many more times. I have.
Seek out The Lives of Others. You will not regret it!!!
I loved it, still do in fact, and have never gotten over the fact that it got beaten out by a lesser movie that got Best Picture that year. Forrest Gump! Tom Hanks was in that one. I think!
Anyway, enjoy watching Shawshank over and over! It's based on a novella by Stephen King called "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption." Well worth reading. The adaptation from the novella was perfect.
Andy redeems him.
Great flick.
The Rainmaker to name a few.
