    This is, by far, the toughest of the first round match-ups for me to vote on.

    The Shawshank Redemption is an incredible movie. Great screenplay, great script, great direction, great acting.

    However, Black Hawk Down accomplished something I've yet to see any other movie: accurately depict combat in an urban environment.

    Oh well....Shawshank it is.

        The fact that I am watching Black Hawk Down right now seems like a sign to me.

        Oh well. Still can't bring myself to pick it over Shawshank, despite how much I love BHD.

        Oh, and both are amazing books, too.

          I went for the overall quality in TSR rather than how well BHD delivered on a few things.

              Shawshank is my favorite movie of all-time so while I really enjoy watching Black Hawk Down, there was no way I could pick it over Shawshank.

                  I enjoy both movies a lot and are tough to compare these two genres. Shawshank gets the edge by a narrow margin for me.

                    Always wanted to see Black Hawk Down, but never got around too, but in this case I voted Shawshank, because I first saw this movie when I was in high school and thought "WOW this is such a great movie, but yet I couldn't get myself to watch it a second time, because of how emotional the movie is and to watch it all over was just sad to me".

                      Black Hawk Down easily.

                      And I'm going to get flamed, but I find Shawshank one of the most overrated films in the last 20 years.

                        That makes no sense. BHD is your favorite movie of all time, but it's not as good as Shawshank?
