Fave 5 Movies of 90s

[CubanSucks]

Lets just keep it in the 90s since if it were just "fave 5 movies all time" the conversation would be WAY too broad.

1. Braveheart
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Fight Club
4. Rudy
5. American History X

[balli]

I tried. I can't do just 5.
1. Unforgiven
2. Braveheart
3. Jurassic Park
4. Forrest Gump
5. Pulp Fiction
6. Silence of the Lambs
7. The Sandlot, only because they filmed it in my neighborhood, me and all my friends were extras and as a kid, I loved that movie.

5. BASEketball

It's kind of funny because you go back to the beginning of this movie and they're taking the whole free agency thing a little too far, with the one dude saying he spent a season as a greeter at the Desert Inn, and then he holds up a Vikings jersey and says he's happy to play in the fine city of Miami, while his agent whispers in his ear that it's actually Minnesota. And then all of the stadiums named after name brand products, and the jokes about teams changing cities. "The Jazz moved from New Orleans to Utah where they don't allow music. The Raiders moved from Oakland to Los Angeles and then back to Oakland. Nobody seemed to notice."

We already saw the Sonics move to OKC, Brett Favre cocktease the Jets into thinking they had a good team (after doing it to the Packers for like the last decade), next fall the Cowboys will probably be playing in the "National Enquirer Mega-Stadium" instead of Texas Stadium. Who knew the guys who made South Park could predict what I consider the downfall of American sporting.

2. Jumanji

This movie is really fucking good if you saw it when you were a kid. If you see it now, it kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth because you know Kirsten Dunst is smashable now, in 2009, but she looks eight years old in this movie, and I don't know if you like going to bed at night smelling like a pedophile, but I don't. Secondly, it's kind of a downer that the Alan's girlfriend grows up to look like Bonnie Fucking Hunt, who's about as hot as Frosty the Snowman taking a vacation in Siberia. No really, even in 1995 she was that bad. You should see her now. I'm just kidding. But seriously, you should. Honestly, I would've gone with Laura Linney for that role. But that's probably why I'm not a casting director. But hey, at least I'm not a casting director that's giving Bonnie Hunt work to do in Hollywood. Because I'd kill myself if I were.

3. Detroit Rock City

Gotta throw this one in there as it's gotta be one of the most underrated movies ever. I'm not the biggest KISS fan... I mean the appealing thing about KISS is the costumes, the makeup, the fact that Gene Simmons has banged like half as many women as Chamberlain and then beat a lie detector test saying he didn't. It makes matters worse that if you think of KISS now, what comes to mind is Gene Simmons' reality show where his cocky, bastard son gets more airtime than Gene. And when I say bastard, I mean it. No really, look it up. Kid's parents aren't married.

But DRC is a good movie if only because Jam's mom reminds me a lot of my mom, just not that extreme. The only place my mom has Jam's mom beat is her two choice brands of music are like the music equivalent of ESPN programming back to back 12 hour marathons of the World Series of Poker and Women's Tennis and airing it on the flagship station instead of The Ocho (the answer: country music and christian music). But the original John Connor gets to bang Shannon Tweed off camera, which clocks in as the second hottest movie romance of the 90s. Losing, of course to the Winslett-DiCaprio scene in Titanic in which monosylab1k creamed his pants twice when he saw it the first time. Jury's still out on whether he was turned on by Winslett or DiCaprio though.

But if you like rock music (DRC has a pretty good selection of non-KISS stuff on the soundtrack too) and want to see a handful of actors who star in a movie that unrightfully killed all four of their careers, you'll like this movie.

2. The Matrix

The only thing that stopped this movie from breaking the top 3 all-time sci-fi movie rankings was the two completely atrocious sequels it received (minus the "orgasm cake" scene in Reloaded, that shit was fucking brilliant and deserved an Oscar... for what I don't know, but it deserved one)...and the legions of nerds on the internet who incorporated "Neo" into their screen names. Seriously, if you did this, you're a fucking loser. If you did "Mr. Anderson," that's still cool and all... but that Neo shit was everywhere. And still is. And it's fucking annoying. This movie would have been number one on my list if Samuel L. Jackson played Morpheus and dropped some F bombs throughout the film. That would have made up for the letdown known as the 2003 Matrix Sequels.

1. The Truman Show

If you think BASEketball got it right by predicting the future in the sports world, this movie nailed the future of American popular culture right between the eyes: Reality TV. They even nailed it down to the part about how reality TV is fake and scripted! No, seriously. This movie is responsible for the reality TV phenomenon. And the reality TV phenomenon is responsible for duping the TV watching public into following ridiculous and fake shows. If you've ever been forced to sit through an episode of "Brett Michaels Rock of Love," you'll probably agree with these arguments. I mean, a rock star that needs to star in his own reality show to get pussy? What the fuck? Then you have shit like American Idol, which last season fielded four contestants in the top 12 who had pre-existing record deals and albums you could have bought before they started butchering Beatles songs in front of the largest television audiences possible for a reality show. And to make it worse, the AI producers got Amazon.com to pull these pre-existing albums from their website during the season to kill the suspicion. God damn you, Jim Carrey. Look what you started.

American History X

Philadelphia
The Silence of the Lambs
American Beauty

This was a hard list to put together. Good movies and the 1990s don't go well together. The early part of the decade was about the glorification of sex and violence. The middle of the decade was about kids and action films, and the end was about finding the stupid funny.

The 'art' movies experiemented with camera angles and time. All the stars were showing us how the stupid American people would accept any drunk as an Anti-Hero. The acting was bad and we were so used to it that we could make the best horror movie of the decade in 30 days and a hand-held.

This decade has been about the method actor--to a scary level--and great storytelling. Can we have an intelligent romantic comedy (Sweet November?) or a good drama without a gun please?

You Guys Are Forgetting The Most Important Movie Of The 90's........

Bill And Teds' Bogus Adventure

[SpursWoman]

Happy Gilmore


I forgot to add that one ...


"The Price is Wrong, Bitch!!" still makes me LMAO

[J.T.]

Bill And Teds' Bogus Journey

FIFY.

And don't ever let me catch you bastardizing titles of Keanu Reeves movies ever again. Dude has been unjustly denied about ten Best Actor oscars because a select group of people, namely the American moviegoing public, seem to think he is a dumbshit that can't act and can only deliver lines in monotone.

Dude is the best fucking actor the world has ever seen. He makes Marlon Brando and Paul Newman look like Ashton Kutcher. But it's okay, I only know these things because I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[J.T.]

I forgot to add that one ...


"The Price is Wrong, Bitch!!" still makes me LMAO

Oftentimes I catch myself using "YOU'RE GONNA DIE, CLOWN!!!" when I get frustrated.

Saving Private Ryan

[caribbean_spur]

I tried 5, but I failed:

Pulp fiction

Shawshak redemption
Braveheart
Thelma and Louise
Tombstone
Good fellas
A few good men
Boz n the hood
American history X
Forrest Gump
Fifth element
The Lion King
Se7en
Four weddings and a funeral

[mogrovejo]

I'll stick to the required max. number, leaving some master-pieces out of the selection. I'd go with a Scorsese (Goodfellas), an Eastwood (Unforgiven), a Kusturica (Underground), a Coen Brothers (The Big Lebowski) and finally a Tarantino (Pulp Fiction).

If I do this tomorrow, films like Boogie Nights, The Sweet Hereafter, Branagh's Hamlet and Kieslowski Colours Triology would probably be there.

Is it a coincidence that they are right next to each other

[CubanSucks]

I saw the very end of it a few weeks ago. I still don't know if I want to see it.

How is that possible? Did you see those skyskrapers get blown up while they watch and he says "you met me at a very strange time of my life"? And you don't want to see the rest of it?:nope

Ten still isn't enough. My list is probably getting close to 20, and I forgot to add The Professional.

[Ignignokt]

Casino
Dark City

I get on that. 24 years in and counting. I smoke and overeat with a history of heart disease so I should be good to go soon. lol. Goodfellas. lol.

Best part of that movie is when Shawn Bradley gets his "powers" back and shows everybody by doing the most simple two handed dunk ever.

[J.T.]

Honestly, I didn't get Fight Club. I wasn't paying much attention whilr watching it, though. I should give it another run.

Basically, Tyler Durden is a split personality of Ed Norton and he takes control of his body when Norton goes to sleep, does all this crazy shit called Project Mayhem, and the final mission for their fight club/gang/whatever is to blow up a bunch of banks or someshit, but then Ed Norton finds out that Tyler Durden is really him and can't get anyone to help him stop Project Mayhem cuz Durden told them not to listen to him if he said to stop the mission. So Ed Norton tries to defuse the bombs himself and he gets knocked out and when he wakes up, Durden is holding him at gunpoint to force him to watch all the buildings blow up. Ed Norton shoots himself in the mouth because he knows that they share the body and then Durden drops dead with a bullet to the brain. Then he watches all the buildings blow up anyway with that Marla bitch.

I hope everyone in this thread has seen that movie cuz I don't want to be the guy that spoiled it for anyone

All you did was describe the ending. The movie is a whole lot deeper than that. And if I hadn't seen it but wanted to i'd be super pissed at the lack of spoiler alert
