Yes, The Shawshank Redemption is fantastic. It's been at the very top of IMDb's top 250 for many years (sometimes alternating the top spot with The Godfather), and I've seen it at least four times. It's powerful, occasionally brutal, and definitely redemptive.
By the way, I think "Limerflicks" is a perfect title for these. Great idea, Marion! And mine was indeed based on Lawrence of Arabia, specifically about how there are literally no women credited in the entire film (but it remains one of my all time favorites despite that fact).
