B-C. Great movie, but not the best.
It's important to note that the rating system on IMDb - which is a perfect site for finding movies, and the platform is really well designed- is incredibly flawed, and not to be trusted in this capacity. When The Dark Knight came out, TDK fans downvoted The Godfather, in the hope of making TDK #1, and The Godfather fans downvoted TDK, because they didn't wanted to lose the top spot. (This also happened with The Return of the King, but with less influence.)
http://250.took.nl/title/tt0111161 Here you can see that The Shawshank Redemption is actually first on the list continuously since August of 2008, which is around the time when TDK came out (18 July 2008).
Even though I don't think its the greatest movie of all time, I really like this movie, it has a magnificent storytelling, lovable characters, and a really interesting story. The mood of the movie, is one of the best in movie history. It Belongs near the top, but I would still put some timeless classics(The Godfather, Ciziten Kane, 12 Angry Men) or some modern masterpieces(The Lord of the Rings) or my personal favourite of that era, Pulp Fiction above it.(The Shawshank Redemption is #11 on my personal top 100 list)
