Not yet mentioned but I thought Cop Land was an excellent film from the 90's

I recently read Costner is thinking of making a western. Arghhhh.
It's what he's best at.

Debatable I'd say. The line from Dancing with Wolves which stuck with me was 'I would not abandon my post' pronounced as poe-st.

He’s a cardboard cutout of an actor but ‘Open Range’ with Robert Duvall is a decent flick.I recently read Costner is thinking of making a western. Arghhhh.

A very good shout.
Stallone is surprisingly watchable.
The thing that always puzzles me about that film is De Niro's role, well more a phoned-in cameo really. It was a minor part for which De Niro was ridiculously over qualified.
It had all the hallmarks of a contractual obligation or a favour to a friend even.

Groundbreaking film in terms of digital special effects that made the dinosaurs look so real.
What a shame Spielberg dumped all the background of the book and just made it into a chasey monster flick, with the 12 year old kid saving the day when the veteran computer programmers couldn’t.

Two things about an English patient, Kristin Scott Thomas and Nev wearing a Safc scarf.Yeah, between them they won various things (but not as much as they should). But not best picture. Here's the list of 1990s winners
Dances With Wolves
The Silence of the Lambs
Unforgiven
Schindler's Lifts
Forrest Gump (ffs)
Braveheart (ffs)
The English Patient (meh)
Titanic
Shakespeare In Love (fuck off)
American Beauty (meh)
Dan The Man

Good shout on scream. Trainspotting for definite.
The politics of Starship Troopers went completely over the heads of American audiences and even critics. Verhoeven said that he thought he was absolutely beating them over the head with the message that the US propaganda, military and politics he's portraying are basically fascist, but they didn't get it

If you're looking for realistic, I think a film about dinosaurs being brought back to life wasn't a good start
It really did. And created a genre all of its own really.
I don't think you could necessarily class anything before that a "Teen Slasher".
There's probably a lot that could fit that bill, but this was a new wave of such films. Like Psycho they killed off the headline star within the first 10 minutes.

He's the 'Billy Elliot' of our family!
Apart from him not being a dancer, and none of our family ever worked down a pit as far as I know, and most of us have moved away from the area.
KST - excellent
The SAFC scarf - terrible research - it has the 1970's ship badge on it!

When was the film set?

The English Patient? The characters were defusing booby traps in Italy after the German surrender - so 1945, I reckon.
