The Shawshank Redemption is "significant" because it found an audience on home video after it flopped in theatres?
Is this the answer? On IMDb, the votes to Shawshank Redemption are 100,000 more than God Father which is on the second place. For this reason it may not be fair to compare Shawshank Redemption to the other top movies, there should be an equal situation. But If we do not consider the 100,000 votes, the result may be close to what we see now. However, we can't exactly say what votes were given to the movie. And also there maybe more than 100,000 votes which we need to ignore to have a fair result. Anyway, what I said can't be dependable, but as personally I love this movie so much, I thought I had to support it
