Best Movies of the 90s: Help me compile a master list

Cafe Society
21

Lotsa good ones on Little Nemo’s list.

Seeing Antz made me remember A Bug’s Life, which I liked way better (ok I never bothered to see Antz. But I bought toys from A Bug’s Life!)

22

In my opinion, Antz was the better of the two. Check it out.

Heck, check it out just for the cast: Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Sylvester Stallone, Jennifer Lopez, Gene Hackman, Anne Bancroft, Danny Glover, Christopher Walken, Dan Aykroyd - it’s very unlikely you’ll see this group working on another project together.

23

Thought of another:

The Whole Wide World

24

I’d like to humbly nominate Stuart Saves His Family. True, you click on that link, you won’t see a very high score. But fuck that, it’s a surprisingly moving, as well as funny, movie, featuring particularly incisive performances from Vincent D’Onofrio, Shirley Knight, and Harris Yulin.

25

I would rather err on the side of including middling movies. The point of the master list is to make sure I don’t overlook any reasonably good movies in compiling a top 50.

Oh, and another:

Mountains of the Moon

26

Some I forgot off my previous list:
Army of Darkness
Bad Lieutenant
Braindead
The Bride with White Hair
Closet Land
Hard-Boiled
Henry Fool
Michael
Walking and Talking

27

This one didn’t do much for me, but a lot of people love it:

Rudy

…and for Beatles fans:

Backbeat

28

You could keep going all day long and never finis this list.

JFK
Quiz Show
As Good As It Gets
Malcolm X
Scent of a Woman
Mr. Holland’s Opus
Nixon
Jackie Brown
Sleepers
Starship Troopers
Waco: Rules of Engagement
Seven
The Insider
The Green Mile

etc.

29

I think you’re right bramma23. I really don’t think any decade can match the 90s for good movies. And now your post, with it’s mention of the Waco documentary, has reminded me of some documentaries I had overlooked:
Fast, Cheap & Out of Control
Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills
Brother’s Keeper
The Big One
A Brief History of Time

30

Methinks any list that includes two Austin Powers movies, Notting Hill and Deep Impact ought to include *Eyes Wide Shut *

31

I actually haven’t seen that one, but yes, I’m sure it should be on the master list.

32

By the way, I still don’t get the hatred for Notting Hill. It won’t make my top 50, but it’s a very fine example of the romantic comedy. Well liked by viewers and very well-reviewed by critics. Two charismatic stars giving charming performances.

Is this just some tired old internet-hive-mind-Julia-Roberts-hate? Because otherwise, I really don’t get it.
