The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Screenplay by: Frank Darabont
In 1994, it was hard to imagine the writer of Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) and The Fly II (1989) would write and direct one of the best films of all time but Frank Darabont came onto the scene with, well, a whimper. The Shawshank Redemption was a bit of a box office failure making $29 million off a $25 million budget. It didn’t help that this movie was released in theaters the same day as Pulp Fiction.
