Most of the ones I'd choose have already been listed....also loved The Chase (1994) with Charlie Sheen....A Walk In The Clouds (1995) with Keanu Reeves - I had never even heard of this one till my Mom and I found it on cable one rainy day and had nothing better to watch. hehe Now it's one of my favorites. It does seem like the further we get from the 80's the crummier the movies get for the most part. There are some gems here and there, though.

I like Home Alone. It's a good family film for Christmas time. It's one of the only films made in the 90s that I even rememeber.

I'm not much of a block-buster action-flick mainstream movie-goer, so two of my favorite '90s movies are "The Piano" and "Sense & Sensibility." If a movie doesn't play at the local alternative cinema, it's not something I'm likely to see. I don't have a lot of time for movie-going due to being a single working mom, so it better be worth my money. Better popcorn than a mall theater, plus home-made cakes & biscotti...what's not to like?

oh those are two great films! I love Sense and Sensability. My olser sister's favorite movie is The Piano.
See I forgot about those films. There are tons that were made in the 90s but my brain is clogged and I haven't been able to think of anything.
I'll probably remember all the films I liked in the 90s ten years from now.

One time, one of the idiots in my office sent an All Staff e-mail because someone had confiscated HER STAPLER...she knew it was HER STAPLER by some identifying characteristic...would the culprit please return HER STAPLER immediately to its rightful owner without fear of retribution.
So this guy send another e-mail alluding to Milton and his missing stapler...I almost LMAO at the time...but I think only he & I "got" the subversive message. Oh, the humanity that is life and thank god for movies to help us get through it!

River, I didn't like any of those movies, on your list,-we really have completely different tastes in movies except Virgin Suicides, which was completely depressing. The best thing about it was the soundtrack. Man, did Kathleen Turner look old. I loved her in The War of the Roses-I loved that house.
I hated The Piano, I gave that one away-I don't know why I bought it, and I bought Forrest Gump without ever seeing it, and that movie stinks, I hate Tom Hanks's voice in it, and it was so depressing, and when his mom-Sally Field-took the teacher in to mess around with him, to get her kid in to school while he stood there listening-that was gross, and I didn't find her to be a great role model mother. Life is like a box of chocolates...the end should have been: it all starts to look like crap.
I didn't really like any of the Tom Hanks movies that won him the oscars...I liked him in comedies like: Big Turner and Hooch Splash Bachelor Party The Money Pit Castaway, and Philadelphia, and the Green Mile, were too depresiing, and I didn't even like the stories at all. Especially Castaway, Helen Hunt shouldn't have replaced him in her life so easily.. a few years is not a long time to mourn a person.
My favorite 90's movies..and one of my all time favorites that I never get tired of is Frequency-that is a great movie-that movie is about hope, and it is sad, but with a great ending, and it is thrilling. It has everything in it, it is so well done, even though it is not ever possible-that is what is cool about it, the idea of what if it could be??

I liked Sleepers. It depressed me because it was supposedly based on a true story. I thought the acting was good and very believable. It's just not a film I can watch more than once.
I'm not really a Brad Pitt fan but he's in some decent films. I also liked Seven. I hate Thelma and Louise. I just never got that one.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that movie! I thought that was so cute! I think that was an underrated film. I just watched it again recently on HBO. The part where they do the chewing tabacco at the fair always cracks me up! Posts: 2242 | From: Here | Registered: Aug 2002 | Site Updates: 0

A '90s movie I really love is "One False Move" which was written by Billy Bob Thornton...he also played one of the bad guys. I think this is the first time I recognized Bill Paxton outside of "Weird Science" and I was rather impressed.
The casting person for this movie went to grade school with my brother, so I guess I have "hometown pride" for it...but I like the story on many levels.
This was Billy Bob's breakthru after starving in Hollywood for a few years. I think he actually made enuf money on it to help finance "Slingblade" a few years later. That's a good one too...who knew John Ritter could do so well?

I liked Forrest Gump a lot. The presentation of the film is very great.

I must've posted a top 5 already, but never mind. 'Forrest Gump' was unbearably annoying especially when you look at the talent involved (just goes to prove that they should leave the serious stuff to guys like Oliver Stone) only Gary Sinise made it watchable.
I'm surprised all the 80's people keep overlooking Kevin Smith, he was John Hughes on weed in the 90's: Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob strike back; all classics, even Mallrats is somewhat of a cult fav these days.

These are all good choices however I'm surprised only one person I saw mentioned Schindler's List. This is considered the best of the '90s by the critics but may be too serious for many, and doesn't really fit the 'zeitgeist' of the decade. But then again neither did the Breakfast Club...
