nice list

but goddamn i'm sick of pixar
are the movies THAT good?

 

[Benny_]

Not THAT good, just consistently enjoyable. I mean, it's not as if they strive for greatness, but I think they do everything they set out to do quite admirably.

 

[walrusbear]

yeah it's a 'good' movie (toy story)
but it's treated like a masterpiece

btw, the list reminds me of plenty of things i still need to see, thanks.

 

[Benny_]

Y'know I just realised something. With a few exceptions (Independence Day).. big budget action blockbusters were a lot less common in the 90s than they are now. What a difference a decade makes.

 

[walrusbear]

a shitload less sequels in the 90s too (from the top of my head)

 

[nwatts]

I'd have to say Pulp Fiction.

The likes of American Beauty, The Lion King, Goodfellas, Magnolia and Princess Mononoke are very close though.

 

[studynoob]

my fav movie of the 90s would have to be the "the quest" damn that movie was badass!

 

[Nymphomaniac]

Pulp Fiction and Wayne's World.. all the movies that followed that!

 

[scoby_2000]

i pick heat.

omg YESSS!!!

but tied with pulp fiction....

 

[mizosoup]

BIG!!!!!!!

I absolutely love that movie and 13 going on 30 is such a crappy imitation

that scene where tom hanks is eating the baby corn...ahahaha!!! I ate baby corn every day for a month b/c of that

(eta) wait crap, thats from the eighties...still rocks though

 

[fantasia]

beauty and the beast... probably my favourite disney movie.

 

[Benny_]

Where are all the responses. Surely we're not all so forgetful that we can't remember what 90s movies we've seen..

 

[icecreamdisco]

the notebook was made last year, so therefore this thread is a dead-end for movie discussion.

and big is from the 80's.

 

[LMF^^]

Terminator 2
