The period of time between January 1st 1990 to December 31st, 1999. What are your all-time faves? Films you never tire of?

Two films I absolutely adore are The Mask of Zorro and The Mummy. They're both a bit pulpy, but they got great adventure vibes, great casts with crazy good chemistry, and just so damn fun.

And both had shitty sequels. So to me, they are one-offs. I love The Mummy's grand epic horror adventure vibe, and the swashbuckling tone of Zorro.

I think all of my favorite movies are from the 90's.

 

[Arkos]

I think all of my favorite movies are from the 90's.

Yep. I mean there were plenty of legit great films. Jurassic Park, T2, Scream, Truman Show just from the first few posts. 90's shits on your stupid decade 00 kids

 

[Elitist1945]

Jurassic Park
Titanic
Starship Troopers
Independence Day
Forrest Gump
Saving Private Ryan

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

 

[The Albatross]

Terminator 2 for sure.
Pulp Fiction

But for movies that feel like quintessential 1990s movies, kinda like how Breakfast Club or Goonies are quintessential 80s movies, I'd say Independence Day or Jurassic Park.

 

[Fugu]

Goodfellas is my number one pick, for sure. Scorsese also has a number of other good films in the decade (Casino springs to mind). Pulp Ficton and Fargo are also wonderful films.

It's also an okay decade for Woody Allen, although the eighties were better.

 

[Sojgat]

Seagal's best.

 

[PsychBat!]

What a coincidence, I'm watching one of my favorites on Netflix.

This poster has always puzzled me because it's a flipped image, yet Baby's necklace still reads properly.

 

[Turin]

 

[Speevy]

Braveheart, Casino, and Goodfellas

 

[Data West]

This is a safe place.
It's better than

Spoiler

Ghostbusters

 

[Stoze]

There's too many good movies to choose from, but I think The Matrix has the most impact and is probably my favorite from that era.

It was a fun period for some guilty pleasures though; I watched The Faculty and Mystery Men a lot when I was a kid.

 

[SchrodingerC]

It's just so amazing, Val and Earl are the best duo.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

 

[LiQuid!]

Wesley Snipes had New Jack City, Blade 1, Demolition Man, King of New York, and White Men Can't Jump.

What a decade to be a Snipes fan.

Demolition Man.

Phoenix!

[NipplesAndToes23]

I haven't seen this in a while.

"I got this cheeseburger."

I haven't seen this in a while.

"I got this cheeseburger."

I just rewatched a few weeks ago, still love it.

 

[bojie1986]

Am I the only one who likes Face/Off?

 

[RiderKairuu]

Showdown In Little Tokyo. It's so bad it's good.

 

[fluffydelusions]

 

[Christine]

Con Air is possibly the most '90s film in existence.

In any other decade, this might seem strange.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Too many to name.

Till this day Michael Bay's best (and only?) film

 

[Data West]

Man, I really didn't like Menace. It felt so comic booky and blew its load so often that it never had a real climax like Boyz did and everything felt less impactful in their cartoony interpretation.

I'd put Juice over Menace even if it's a little rough looking. Needs a blu-ray release badly

Rushmore

Unforgiven
Glengarry Glen Ross

EDIT: Thought Being John Malkovich was 2000, but it was 1999. So that one, too.

 

[Clov]

Being John Malkovich is one of my all time favorites.

comic booky, cartoony? What?

Oh you must've meant Don't Be a Menace. Well shit, that shit is supposed to be off the wall.

Wayans Bros must have had an easy time making that parody movie with Menace to take from. Loc Dog is probably a deeper character than O-Dog
