Favourite 1990's movies?

[Macpotata]

My list would be pretty huge. I saw someone made a thread favourite movies from 2008-2018, it gave me the idea for this one. There certainly were some great movies from that period and also 2000-2008, but not as many as the 1990's. I know I'm an old campaigner when they I say........

They don't make them like they used to.

Seriously I could have a movie marathon with you right now and watch all of them.

Surprised Basic Instinct got missed by you? Ground breaking for its time.

Haha. I sure did. Quality mate. Quality.

You're a funny man. You're a movie buff like me. Love it!

I was going to put that in but there's too many to choose. I had to draw the line somewhere. I will add though, I left out Falling Down. That was a goody!

 

[Gasometer]

Lock thread

Schindler’s List
Saving Pte Ryan
Toy Story 1 & 2

Falling Down really is like most Bigfooty posters here on a bad day. Deserves to be on the list easily. Totally forgot.

I loved Douglas in this movie. He literally hates, blacks, whites, yellows, browns lol. The whole human race.

I think I would get a migraine trying to decide which makes it into a top 10 list.

Top 10 for each genre would be a lot easier. Those first two you mentioned are epic masterpieces too. I remember in Saving Private Ryan where he stabbed the guy at the end I felt that knife wound it was that realistic.

 

[GROTTO]

Going to ruin the thread now and admit I liked Titanic.

My heart will go on...........

Nothing wrong that.

Said it before in the movie thread. The last hour or so was fantastic especially at the Cinema.

lmao. Yeah he's a psycho. It's funny you mentioned that big footy resembles Falling Down on a bad day because I actually posted this to a forumite on one of '' those '' days.



holy shit literally just changed the channel right now on fox and it's on. About to finish though.

Gangsters Paradise gotta throw that in as well. Once again, there's too many to name.

Was going to put the first two in and especially the professional. I loved that movie as a teen.I saw it when I was searching for 90's movies.

Sick movie.

 

[Gasometer]

Eyes Wide Shut

Wat was that one where Jeff Bridges survived the plane crash?

The Cook the thief and her lover

Good Will Hunting

Truly Madly Deeply

 

[vast]

Goldeneye
Mission Impossible

 

[CURVE]

There were some good Hollywood films in that decade, but I loved the Arthouse and Independent films in particular.

Three Colours Red
Three Colours Blue
Three Colours White
The Double Life Of Veronique
Sweetheart
Delusion
Naked Tango
The Fifth Element
Leon
Twelve Monkeys
Broken Arrow
Red Rock West
Goldeneye
Raise the Red Lantern
Ju Dou
La Femme Nikita

Heaps more, but can’t think of them at the moment.

 

[GROTTO]

Goldeneye
Mission Impossible

These movies were great in the sense that it rebooted the franchise.

I mean ffs we still have MI today. James Bond is now as strong as ever as well. Both these movies are almost 25 years ago.
