The 90's: A Decade in Movies

It's hard to sum up the 90's. It was sort of all over the place from SNL alum comedies, action and special effects blockbusters, hard hitting indie and drama films... you name it, the 90's probably had it.

So I said in my post about the 2000's that I liked the 1990's better and here's why! There was just no way to limit it to ten.



1. Natural Born Killers – Don't listen to the critics this is a crazy good time from Oliver Stone.
2. Grosse Point Blank – They need to make more dark comedies.
3. True Romance – A lesser known gem.
4. Goodfellas – My favorite Scosese movie... well maybe not as good as Taxi Driver.
5. White Men Can't Jump – Best sports drama ever!
6. American Beauty – Yeah, the 'burbs suck.
7. The Devil's Advocate – Guilt's like a bag of bricks... all you have to do is put it down.
8. Fight Club – What was the first rule again? I didn't catch it the first twenty times.
9. Terminator 2 : Judgment Day – Way better than Avatar despite what the box office says.
10. Tommy Boy – RIP Chris.
11. The Matrix – Whoa...
12. Happy Gilmore – Billy Madison was great as well.
13. Forest Gump – So many lines I repeated way too many times.
14. The Crow – Style, style, style.
15. Trainspotting – Okay, kinda depressing.
16. Wayne's World – Psycho hose beast! LOL.
17. Dumb and Dumber – Back when Jim Carrey was on the top of his game.
18. Point Break – Don't pretend like you haven't watched this twenty times.
19. Scream - Best take on the slasher genre in years.
20. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me – And mini-me was born.
21. Days of Thunder – Tog Gun all over again.
22. Seven – I miss David Fincher and Brad Pitt making movies that had a pair.
23. Groundhog Day – Bill Murray is the king.
24. Scent of a Woman – Amazing acting Pacino!
25. The Thin Red Line – Artsy fartsy but awesome.



Honorable mentions would include Office Space, Kids, American Pie, There's Something About Mary, The Big Lebowski, American History X, King Pin, Pulp Fiction, Silence of the Lambs, Hook, Pump up the Volume, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead and a whole lot more.
