The ones that came to mind were: Shawshank Redemption Stand By Me Goodfellas What other heavily narrated movies do you think were good? Apocalypse Now! Martin Sheen's haunted voice! 1

Scorcese is an absolute master of that technique (e.g., Casino and Taxi Driver.) How could I forget The Usual Suspects? 1

Because the narration is so seamlessly weaved in to the plot, switching between the interrogation and action, that it barely feels like narration. It was brilliantly done. But it's still no Goodfellas, which was pure voiceover narration that seamlessly and effortlessly blends with the visuals. It's still a crime Goodfellas didn't get Best Picture over "Dances With White Guilt." 1
