Good Movies / Re: favourite mid 90s movies?
Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 04:50:25 AMQuote from: M.10rda on Today at 12:24:27 AMA 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.
cool, never heard of it. just found Barry Norman's (I guess kind of our Roger Ebert circa 80s/90s?) review on youtube. (he liked it).
QuoteI'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?
I know I've seen this, but back then I would watch a lot of films in.... an alternate state of mind. maybe a rewatch in order

😀😃😄😆😂😄😆🐢
I really needed that LOL, thanks.

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.

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.....
