I would say Forrest Gump. Pulp fiction is my number two because I've seen this movie dozens of times and I'm never tired of it but because of it's class B feeling/vulgarism/bloodiness it isn't as universal as Forrest Gump. And FG may be adaptation of the book but I've read the original and I admit with all my heart that the movie isway better that that. I watched The Shawshank Redemption but I didn't like this movie as much as the others mentined before.

I've never seen The Shawshank Redemption, and it's been a while (probably since 94) that I've seen Forrest Gump. Pulp Fiction is one of the few movies I can watch more than once, so I'll go with it.

I'm in a toss up between Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump. They are both excellent movies and in a perfect world they both would receive and Oscar, but if I have to choose one, it would be Shawshank Redemption.

The Shawshank Redemption, without a doubt. It's one of the greatest films ever made. I cannot recommend it highly enough, it's breathtaking.

Out of those three I would say Forrest Gump. Tough choice. That was a very strong year in regards to the nominees for best picture.

I loved the Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump and sorry that is hard. Up to this day I haven't seen Pulp Fiction. Both are darn good and if I recall that year was a Forrest Gump one because Robert Zemeckis won Best Director, Tom Hanks for two times in a row(only Spencer Tracy had the feat to do it like that and he became the second) two years(after winning Best Actor for Philadelphia in 1993); so naturally, Forrest got the Oscar, but The Shawshank Redemption ain't nothing to sneeze at either.

I've seen them all. I think Shawshank Redemption deserves it hands down.

That is a tough one between The Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump. I think I would have to say The Shawshank Redemption.

shawshank redemption and forrest gump are two of the best movies ever made.. forrest gump took almost all major awards in 1994.. I think shawshank redemption deserved some.. but i then forrest gump is also so good that they deserved each one.. but then shawshank ranks higher than forrest gump when the top 100 movies was released in 2000... then i guess its even .. who deserved an oscar .. they deserve an oscar both.. but why did forrest gump took almost all? .. i guess we should be back to that year and how it could have been viewed by people.. taste differs .. there is a trend.. did i actually answer the question? :D i don't know .. that is the reason why i made 3 slots for top movies .. so i can squeeze the three that i most love.. :D

Though Shawshank is a great movie, it's a bit too long. Forrest Gump was a much innovative film, and deserves an Oscar.

I would have to vote for The Shawshank Redemption. I did not are for Forrest Gump and have not seen Pulp Fiction. I like Tom Hanks but in that movie I did not care for the part that he played.
