Saving Private Ryan isn’t on it, so I can’t vote.

:smack: I plead old age.

I would have voted for _Shawshank_ as well as _Fargo_, but I’ve seen it so many times, it’s finally losing its impact.

Of the choices listed, I chose _Goodfellas_.

Also, I would like to take a moment to point out that I hate _Office Space_. My hatred of _Office Space_ is fairly well-documented on these boards, but really, no amount of repetition can suffice. Gods, do I hate _Office Space_.

No “The.” That was a different flick.

So does that mean you won’t be coming over to my “Movie Night Feature Party” where I show **Office Space** & **Santa Sangre**?

Office Space ?  
T2 ?

Are you serious?

My top 3 were Shawshank, Pulp Fiction and Fargo. Ultimately, I jumped on the Pulp Fiction bandwagon.

Only 1 of these (_Groundhog_) was in my top 20, so that got my vote…

Well, ban my ass, 'cause I voted _Shawshank_. But _Pulp_ and _Fargo_ were my next choices, so do I get redeemed?

Actually my real top choice wasn’t included. Like **koeeoaddi** I would’ve gone for _Sense and Sensibility_.

I agree, but Shawshank is still a good movie.

Of the titles offered, I voted for **Fargo** but it’s a virtual dead heat between it and **Pulp Fiction** for me.

If **Quiz Show, The Insider, Sense and Sensibility, or The Remains of the Day** were included then I would have considered those as well.

No love for \*\*Magnolia \*\*I see, maybe I’m biased towards it because my first viewing of it is still in recent memory. I also think **Eyes Wide Shut** should have made it on there…

The only ones I actually paid money to see were \*\*Apollo 13, Pulp Fiction \*\*and **Shawshank**.

I voted for **L.A. Confidential.** I love this one!

The pig.  
My top three: _LA Confidential_, _Groundhog Day_, and _Babe_.

You know, I love _Office Space_, but “Best film of the 90s?” Who could think that?
