Shawshank Redemption...
#2 all time according to
www.IMDB.com, with the most votes of any other movie, and really tied with The Godfather for #1.....

Really surprising. Thanks for the links.
I just don't see it as one of the all-time greats. Like the poll indicated, Gump won best picture that year, and I'd consider Gump a superior movie as well. But like I stated, all lists are subjective, and to each his own. Great flick, but greatest ever? Not to me.
To even pick a "greatest movie ever" is a daunting task IMHO, and it'd really depend on your taste/age. Breaking it down by genre would probably be the way to go.
Like:
Greatest Anime: Akira
Greatest Sci Fi: BladeRunner
Greatest Horror: Jaws (?)
Greatest Comedy: tough one.....suggestions welcome
you get the idea
