Well, we are 10 years removed from the 1990’s and I feel like we can better judge the decade now. What were the best movies from 1990-1999?
I think the best were:
Three Kings - This is in my “pat your back if you saw it” and “hang your head if you missed it” category of movies. Amazing film. I hate the director, actually, but it’s a wonderful film. I saw it in the theater and wont’ forget it. Rent this if you never saw it.
**Pulp Fiction **- Quentin Tarantino’s most fun and cool movie. Very “90’s” to me.
The Matrix - I really believed the Wachonski brothers were talented after watching this. I changed my mind after seeing the sequels, but this one still is great.

Schindler’s List **- Best best picture winner from the 1990’s. A great movie.

I think they still posses talent, although the sequels were god awful. They’re great writers though, as demonstrated in V for Vendetta (which they didn’t direct, but had a helping hand in).
As for my list:
Ace Venture (it’s hilarious! Alrighty then!)
Men in Black
Terminator 2
Titanic
Toy Story 1
Toy Story 2
Wayne’s World
Why can’t you explain it? I rather enjoyed the fact that the movie has a pretty decent tight story arc… its a little mixed up what with the time travel and all but it works.
An adapted Elmore Leonard novel. Very cool crime fiction movie which actually contains a good little piece of acting by Jennifer Lopez. Great soundtrack as well.
Michael Keaton plays the same character here as he later did in Jackie Brown.
Don Cheadle is fantastic along with George Clooney playing a cool George Clooney.
There’s also Shakespeare in Love. There’s also Dark City, which was basically a much smarter version of the The Matrix (and where the Wachowskis stole all the best concepts from).
As for those mentioned, I agree with **Three Kings, Out of Sight, The Usual Suspects, The Shawshank Redemption, 12 Monkeys,**and Lone Star
I know this is rather odd, but I didn’t like Goodfellas. Actually, I don’t really like Scorsese’s movies anyway, except Aviator, which I thought was brilliant.
