My Cinematic Opinions Are Law, Vol. 2: These are the Best Films of the 90s

I'm omitting 1999 because I used that last time, though I don't think I'll use the last year of the previous decade again (all I loved from that year anyway was The Straight Story and Eyes Wide Shut):

Barton Fink

The Big Lebowski

Braindead

Bullets Over Broadway

Dead Man

Edward Scissorhands

End of Evangelion

Fargo

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Goodfellas

Heat

The Iron Giant (holy crap, I just realized this is from 1999...oh well. Better late than never)

JFK
L.A. Confidential

Lone Star

Miller's Crossing

Porco Rosso

The Player

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

The Thin Red Line

Three Colors: Blue

The Truman Show

Unforgiven

Wild at Heart (sue me)

As always, if you disagree with any of these, you are a communist nazi.

why isn't boondock saints on that list?dooly420

I really enjoyed that film.

Se7en???????B05T0N

I agree, and i agree with the dude :D

What about Casino? Joe Pesci getting beaten with a bat, how can you go wrong???hillelslovak

even though its 1999 you should add Titus and American Beauty b/c they wernt in your last one but yea se7en and I know it is cliche but you have to Have Saving Private Ryan and maybe La Haine (hate)JackMcSexbeard

I Agree The thin red line delves far deeper while Saving Private Ryan, while good is not as engrossing personally but I felt because it was already such an iconic film from the era

btw what about the usual suspects?

rushmore

mystery train (if 1999 could go with the 00's, 1989 could go to with the 90's.)

crimes and misdemeanors

there's something about mary

metropolitan

lost highway

pulp fiction

crash

boogie nights

[QUOTE="B05T0N"]Se7en???????Honenheim

I agree, and i agree with the dude :D

I concur, this list is obviously not official without Se7en

Saving Private Ryan > Thin Red Line

And you forgot Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption

Saving Private Ryan > Thin Red Line

gasmaskman

What about Dellamorte Dellamore? It was Martin Scoresese's favorite of 1994. And I know there's another Gilliam flick in there somewhere worth mentioning...crucifine

I mentioned them both, the gilliam film you are thinking of is twelve monkeys.

throw shawshank redemtion on therefrascatidaman92

Such a great movie.

What about The Green Mile?

[QUOTE="gasmaskman"]

Saving Private Ryan > Thin Red Line

A_Tarkovsky

I agree, saving private ryan looked nice with all the explosion and battles, but thin red line had much more emotion and character.

Fight Club? Pulp Fiction? come on.tazzydnc

Fight club yes, pulp fiction.....maybe, I never got the appeal of that movie, its probably my fear of needles like in that adrenaline shot scene:(

Looks like The Thin Red Line vs Saving Private Ryan has polarised peoples opinions. Although I feel Saving Private Ryan is a lot more popular (and often that means bad) It had a much greater effect on me, So much so that I can forgive the fact that Matt Damons teeth are so sparkly white after being in the frontline for so long. I didn't know they had teeth whitening back then.

I think your list is good. and film-guys list is good too.

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate that scene.

Rest of the movie is incredible, though.

I feel appreciated::) I'm gonna go eat some pie:D

Home Alone disagrees with you.

Anyway, good list.
I haven't seen all of them, so I can't really disagree with it...but I've been watching at least one film a day recently, and this thread seems like a good guide for movies to look out for.

What about The Green Mile? It was the first movie, I have cried to!Quadrifoglio

One of the relative few to which I have cried as well. My first was Aladdin when I was really young, though.

I'm sorry is this a list of boring overrated movies you made. I couldn't be bothered to read the topic title.JiveT

Well, if you had read the title and the OP, then you would see they aren't really boring or overrated...

Ignorance is bliss?

Meh. Pretty much the same old movies everyone suggests to be among the best.

If your username is reference to Andrei Tarkovsky I may have more respect for your taste.

What about Donnie Darko?muthsera666

So now we include movies from different decades in "Best Films of the 90s" lists?

I don't see The Godfather or Taxi Driver! PUT THEM IN THERE~
