Best movie of the 90s????

[RCMerchant]

GOODFELLOWS(1990) is one of my favorite movie of ANY era. A great movie,agreat cast,and a great director. And the soundtrack is one I would actually buy. Just writing about it makes me want to see it again.

[zombie no.one]

Fargo
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas / Casino
Dazed & Confused
Usual Suspects

my top 5 or 6 of the nineties, I reckon.

The 90s also gave us UNFORGIVEN, CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, RINGU, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, GATTACA, STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT, JURASSIC PARK, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS and THE IRON GIANT.

[Doc Daneeka]

Fargo or Forrest Gump IMO. Fight Club is a true new classic but it was made so close to 2000 it doesn't count

[Dennis]

Natural Born Killers is on my list of movies I wish to forget, there were plenty of others that are much better, Fargo, Forrest Gump, Braveheart, Tremors, The Iron Giant, Mars Attacks, etc. I'm trying to cover all categories of film in an effort to show that almost any other film from the 90's is better than Natural Born Killers. Of course in a hundred years or so it's entirely possible that the only film from the 90's to survive and be remembered will be Natural Born Killers, if thats the case, will our descendants think of us as intelligent thoughtful people or will they be saying "Geez, what a bunch of idiots, look at the crap they watched."

[Fausto]

I didn't hate natural born killers, but there were so many better choices that it makes almost no sense why anyone would pick that. Off the top of my head it would be Pulp Fiction. Clerks would easily be the best low budget/independent film, and since it isnt fair to compare something with millions of dollars behind it to an indie flick, those would be my two choices.

Put me down in the liking-NBK category.  It's one of those films you either really liked or really hated, though.  Lessee...what films really stuck out in my head from that decade...

Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, and The Matrix.  Mother of God, what they started...

Titanic.  If for no other reason than the last hour of the movie.

Pulp Fiction.  I'm still not a rabid fan of it, but I can definitely see its appeal--and what it also begat.

Se7en.  An absolutely stellar film that's so incredibly, astonishingly screwed up I can only watch it once every couple of years.

Unforgiven.  Wow.

GoodFellas and Casino, two sides of the same coin...

Schindler's List.  'Nuff said.

Some of my picks for 90s include:

Braveheart
Heat (the DeNiro-Pacino dialog was classic)
Galaxy Quest

[crazy bee]

I only liked the action movie type parts in NBK they were badass!

[Torgo]

[Pilgermann]

There've been a lot of good choices.  I've never seen Natural Born Killers, but I've been tempted to pick up the Director's Cut DVD from Wal-Mart's $5.50 bin.  Here're some of my favorites:

12 Monkeys, The Fisher King, Babe, Babe: Pig in the City (This movie is genius!), Unforgiven, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, The Iron Giant, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Forrest Gump, Gattaca, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Dark City, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park (It's amazing that the special effects are still better than most movies that've been released in the past several years), Gremlins 2, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Ed Wood, Searching for Bobby Fischer, Fight Club and there're others but that's enough I s'pose.

[Jack]

I haven't even seen NBK, and really have no interest in it.  If it's got MTV-style editing, forget it.  I saw Pulp Fiction and wasn't the least bit impressed, so I pretty much ignore anything in that genre. 

My favorite "good" movies of the '90s, in no particular order:

Wild Things
Starship Troopers
The Mummy (Sommers version)
Terminator 2

eh...that's about the only ones that really deserve mention on a "best of" list.  There were a few others I enjoyed, but if I haven't even bothered to buy the DVD or wouldn't make a point of watching them when they air on TV, then I'm not going to put them on my list.  I actually thought there were quite a few more movies but looking at the IMDb, two-thirds of my choices are from the 2000's.  Of course, it was a fantastic decade for "bad" movies, and seeing as I'm a fan of bad movies, my tastes don't really run towards the "good" stuff anyway. 

[Scott]

STARSHIP TROOPERS might not be the best, but it's my personal favorite.



Honorable mention go to:

Matrix
Terminator 2
Forrest Gump
Braveheart
Ed Wood
Tremors
Reservoir Dogs
Heat
Fargo
Unforgiven
Pulp Fiction
Mantinee
Temptation Of A Monk
Good Fellas
Saving Private Ryan

Would like to see WILD THINGS, SE7EN, and USUAL SUSPECTS.

It was a rough decade for movies.

[Egg]

Pulp Fiction? Goodfellas? Fargo?

[dean]

Would like to see WILD THINGS, SE7EN, and USUAL SUSPECTS.

It was a rough decade for movies.

Wild things is worth a look, but probably only once.  Se7en and Usual Suspects however are a must. Both are excellent films.

Seven has some of the most interesting visual style and cinematography I've seen in a film, and Suspects, well, Usual Suspects is just a solid film.
