I'm in the mood for a good redemption movie, Shawshank or otherwise. You know, where someone does something bad, then more than makes up for it? Or something bad happens to someone, then they turn it around and it all works out great?

Some good ones that come to mind:
The African Queen (actually the movie that started me thinking about this)
About a Boy
Pursuit of Happyness
Guinevere

What are your redemption movie recommendations?

Silent Hill is the only one that comes to mind right now.

I'm trying to think of some kung fu movies about redemption, but these are usually more about revenge. Although, Shadow in Eagle's Claw might count because Jackie takes more than a few beatings in it.

Death Wish I.-II. from the earlies, the Shaft could good choise, and T Scott: domino what's not exactly a redemption movie, but could be in the mood

Revenge is just about the opposite of redemption. Redemption requires self-sacrifice.
