Shawshank is a favorite of mine, but it's overseeded. Still, it's better than Top Gun. I think of both of these movies as fun movies. Shawshank is also good in addition to being a lot of fun.

8/9 is tough. Went with A Few Good Men.

It's a Wonderful Life is cheesy as all hell, but I love it. Alien is probably a better movie in concept and execution. Still, I let my subjective love of It's a Wonderful Life lead my voting.

Shawshank is up 38-3 right now. Not sure it's overseeded...
Besides the fact it gained the most votes, most 1st-place votes, and was named on more ballots than any other movie here.

No one is thinking of making Shawshank Part 2.

It's high vote getting and high seeding is more akin to Subway being the best sandwiches in America since there are more of them than anything else.

Totally lacks the character nuance and character development of Top Gun and interplay between the characters.

I say it's overseeded because it's not the best movie ever. Nor, really, in the Top 10. That said, it's obviously going to beat Top Gun and then whatever comes out of the 8/9 game.
