Shawshank Redemption- Nominated for 7 Oscars, won 13 additional awards, and nominated for 14 awards.

3. Preservation

In 2011 Forrest Gump was selected for preservation in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry. The registry said… “honored for its technological innovations (the digital insertion of Gump seamlessly into vintage archival footage), its resonance within the culture that has elevated Gump (and what he represents in terms of American innocence) to the status of folk hero, and its attempt to engage both playfully and seriously with contentious aspects of the era’s traumatic history.”

These reasons alone are enough to show that the movie Forrest Gump by far outweighs The Shawshank Redemption in not only greatness but also in immortality.
