Shawshank Redemption, for sure. It's not just a masterpiece, it's a masterpiece that has incredibly broad appeal compared to most other great movies.

That's probably the reason why it has been the top rated movie on IMDb for decades even as trends, opinions, and tastes have changed dramatically over the years.

I hate that movie with undying loathing.

It isn't obvious but it's pretty damn violent in some scenes. I didn't realize until I tried this on my friend who couldn't handle it.
