Good Movies / Re: favourite mid 90s movies?
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 12:24:27 AMThis was a great era for film and some Great films have been mentioned.
A personal favorite that I would contribute to the mix:
Hal Hartley's AMATEUR
I'd reckon that's my single favorite film from '94-'96. A beautiful object.
Per ZNO's first post...
PULP FICTION aged a bit poorly, imho. It was epochal in that moment, but Tarantino made better films after PULP FICTION (and actually I think RESERVOIR DOGS is also probably better than PULP FICTION).
And other folks made films like PULP FICTIOM that were better than PULP FICTION.
I'd nominate one that hasn't been mentioned yet:
THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE DEAD
...Probably the second greatest Christopher Walken performance after DEER HUNTER, and he never moves anything below his collarbone.
Also Oscar-worthy/career-best performances from Andy Garcia, Fairuza Balk, and Christopher Lloyd, with a serious contender from Treat Williams, in service of a screenplay that is more quotable than Tarantino & Avery's for PF.
But that's just me, what do I know?

Last post by Paquita - November 22, 2025, 11:37:10 PMI was recently scanning some movie titles and misread "Tales of Terror" as "Tales of Trevor". Now when I see anything with "Terror" in the title, I replace it with "Trevor" and chuckle.

Last post by Paquita - November 22, 2025, 11:26:25 PMOh gosh Alex! So sorry to hear all you guys have been going through! This must be so tough on Kristi, I hope she's coming to terms with it in a healthy way. It sounds like you guys are optimistic, which is great. I hope she starts feeling a little better when she gets a break from chemo. And to have it all start when you were traveling too!
We had a scare when my husband had a heart attack last summer when the twins were just 8 months old. He had surgery and is doing fine now. I still get overly concerned for every ache and pain he gets though, so I can't imagine how it must be for you guys.
Lots of love to you and your family.

The Shape of Things to Come (1979)
https://youtu.be/ORN5aT9Lxho?si=aLPZ6k6-OzLIN1UP
Pretty forgettable, as I've already forgotten most of it....
So there's an opening crawl about how Earth was abandoned after WW3, & the universe is dependent on an anti-radiation drug that's only found one place in the universe....
In a capital city on the moon, traffic controllers are watching a cargo ship that's ignoring attempts to contact while it's set on a crash course.... Meanwhile, a scientist & a politician are bickering over the need for a defense ship....
Everyone is safely evacuated from the dome as the cargo ship crashes into it.... The dome is immediately rebuilt by planes spraying chemtrails, while inspectors find a robot in the wreckage of the ship.... They decide to rebuild the robot & reprogram it to be friendly....
Then Jack Palance calls up & demands surrender of the universe, so the scientist, his son & his girlfriend decide to steal the defense ship & head for the planet he's on....
This is the movie I thought I was going to watch when I sat through that porno a few months ago, and somehow, less memorable.... Gets pretty slow & plodding.... Tries to insert "HG Wells" in the title, & even swipes the name JOHN CABAL, even though it has no relation to the Wells novel.....
Feels like it was supposed to be a TV movie or an unsold pilot.....

planning on watching this again(?) because I think I have it confused with another movie, and it's possible I've never seen it...
SPEED was a fun rewatch, recently. so long since I last saw it
at some point
loose plot: Nicholas Cage is a scientist; Sean Connery is a prisoner who is hired by to break into Alcatraz to stop Ed Harris' group of machineries from shooting missiles at the USA from Alcatraz

Last post by zombie no.one - November 22, 2025, 07:16:20 PMthere's a few movies I saw back then which I have really good memories of, but I'm apprehensive to rewatch in case they turn out to be rubbish!... SFW and FREEWAY fall in this category

saw this on tv as a kid, though it was so bad that it turned me off horror films for a long time
