Don’t think I’ve seen the others Do you intend to comment on everyone’s selections or was there some special reason only to comment on mine? ---

Maybe they are the only 5 movies from the 90s that he has seen? ---

No offense to the OP, but after seeing your first film listed was _Bird on the Wire_ (about as horrible a movie as can possibly be imagined), I kinda ignored the rest of your post… My two dozen favorite films from the 90s (in alphabetical order) \* Belfast, Maine La Belle Noiseuse The City of Lost Children Dead Man The Double Life of Veronique Groundhog Day The Last of the Mohicans Lone Star Magnolia A Moment of Innocence Out of Sight The Piano Se7en Show Me Love Simple Men Smoke A Summer’s Tale The Sweet Hereafter Topsy-Turvy Underground Vacas When We Were Kings The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl The Wrong Trousers - ---

Only a partial list. A list of my favorites would include many of these and some others, but these are ones I think you “should see”\*: _Army of Darkness Boogie Nights Chasing Amy Chungking Express Ed Wood Grosse Pointe Blank The Hudsucker Proxy The Insider Jackie Brown L.A. Confidential Out of Sight The Player Pulp Fiction The Straight Story Three Kings Toy Story Unforgiven Zero Effect_ I left off a bunch of obvious ones that are being mentioned repeatedly, like _Se7en_. It’s good. See that too. \*Nobody ever “should” see _Bird on a Wire_. It’s not worth dying to avoid it, but almost. ---

Limiting myself to just documntaries, I’d have to say “When We Were Kings” (1996), “American Movie” (1999), “Mr. Death” (1999), and “Hoop Dreams” (1994) would have to be on a '90s must-see list. ---
