Essential films of the 90s

[JAZZMANB]

Never know when stuff was
Terminator 2
about it ,I was never in

 

[CaptainWOW]

For me:

Léon
Pulp Fiction
Trainspotting
Toy Story
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
There's Something about Mary

 

[sedling]

Do you think Silence of the Lambs has aged well? I still prefer Manhunter to that. And apart from the first 20 minutes I find Saving Private Ryan a bit mawkish for me.

Yes, SotL is well shot imo, gives plenty of air time to the main protagonists musings..

I will own up and say I've never seen Saving PR ! but seems like it was a 90s tour de force for the depiction of the landings.

Personally I'd go for The Ice Storm, Léon, LA Confidential or The Age of Innocence...

 

[PinzaC55]

Falling Down.

 

[Rick O Shea]

A few of those I would pick have already been suggested - but I'd add these two.

Dances With Wolves
Last of the Mohicans

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Forrest Gump yet.......absolutely one of the best films of the 90s

 

[bernardbresslaw]

The Towering Inferno - Directors cut.

 

[Son of Stan]

I was hoping no one would mention Forrest Gump! Sorry, not one of my favourites.

Starship Troopers is probably the best film ever to be honest.

 

[Son of Stan]

Starship Troopers is probably the best film ever to be honest.

Good grief. Maybe I should have paid more attention. Either that or you work for the Tyneside cinema and that was your choice?

As Good As It Gets
Groundhog Day
Clueless
NottingHill
Unforgiven

French Kiss..

and the best two both by Linklater -
