I dunno, I'd have to disagree with you there.
Just off the top of my head, watch Big Fish for a better story.
Or if you prefer something more realistic, something like Forrest Gump is way better, story wise
Funnily enough Forrest Gump is in my top 10 aswell. I think they're pretty much on par with each other. I just cant think which one is better.
I just don't see what makes Shawshank a classic. I watch a lot of movies, and although I liked it, it didn't blow me away, like films such as The Crow, Donnie Darko, Withnail & I, etc did.
I think the best "realistic" story I can think of is in "As Good As It Gets" - I'd put that higher up on my list, great movie
