What are your top ten favorite movies from the 90s?


    By: chad
    • 10. Austin Powers
      An instant classic.
    • 9. Scream
      It don't matter what people say,this movie was scary. Especially when your 12.
    • 8. NLP's Christrmas Vacation
      I don't know if this is even a 90's movie, but it's funny....Christmas movies are the "ish"....i wander if i can cuss on this page?
    • 7. Goldeneye
      My favorite James Bond movie, awesome game, too.
    • 6. Mallrats
      The co-main character in this movie,I think his name is Jason,is so funny....the stink palm is a classic move, not that I've ever done it.
    • 5. American Pie
      I'm a freshman and this movie has me itching to be a senior....hilarious, plus the fact that it shows Shannon Elizebeth's tits make this movie #5.
    • 4. Dumb & Dumber
      Funny yit....jim carrey is hilarious in this movie.I can't go 1 minute without laughing.
    • 3. The Shawshank Redemption
      Great acting.A 160 minute movie that gets you so caught up in it, it seams like 20 minutes.
    • 2. Se7en
      Great acting.Mind twisting movie....horrifying ending.
    • 1. The Silence of The Lambs
      Brilliant acting. I've watched this movie with 7 different people, all of them have literally yelled(trying to help)at Jodie Foster to turn around and shoot on the night vision scene. A suspenceful movie.
    The best movies are in the 70's.Like Halloween and Apocalypse Now.

    • 10. Reservoir Dogs
      A hard choice, but one of the best and most exhilerating debuts of any director.
    • 9. Clerks
      A wonderfully pointless comedy that set the tone for many inferior movies of the nineties.
    • 8. American Beauty
      Very potent comedy. Good cast, great screenplay.
    • 7. Se7en
      Perhaps questionable that this was chosen over Silence of the Lambs, but I found it more interesting and with a better sense of style.
    • 6. Fargo
      Probably the most somber comedy I've ever seen, it boasts great acting and visual symbolism.
    • 5. Schindler's List
      This movie showed Spielberg could direct quality material. Near perfect.
    • 4. Fight Club
      A tentative choice, but surprised me greatly the first two times I saw it.
    • 3. Goodfellas
      This was an amazing movie from one of a handful of great American directors.
    • 2. Heat
      Apparently not an obvious choice for most but a great showcase of cinematography and the two leads-Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino.
    • 1. Pulp Fiction
      Anyone who's watched this movie too many times to remember realizes it's more than hilarious profanity and action. Some of the best acting of the decade.
    Unfortunately, all of these are American films, so I will have to make it an American films list. Besides not getting around to seeing enough foreign films this decade, I didn't see enough lesser-known sleepers, so this list is mostly obvious stuff. Of course, it doesn't have the vapid Titanic on it, or any "teen movie". Enjoy.

    • 10. Magnolia
      good
    • 9. Before Sunrise
      it's not really a guy's type of movie, but the music is really good
    • 8. KIDS
      my life story
    • 7. P.C.U.
      not that good of a movie, but it brings back memories of the early 90s
    • 6. Scent of a Woman
      Pacino is awesome...Chris O'Donnell is ok
    • 5. Fight Club
      the coolest movie of the 90s
    • 4. The Crow
      this movie used to be my life
    • 3. Forrest Gump
      the epic of the 90s...makes me cry
    • 2. Wayne's World
      Funniest movie of all time...you can never get tired of it

    • 9. Schindler's List
      it made me cry

      this movie probably doesn't belong on a top ten list.. however, it is John Waters!!, therefore i must add it
    • 5. Urbania
      directed by john shear, starring Dan Futterman as charlie.. a film about a gay man wandering through NYC meeting strangers and hearing stories, all the while charlie is menaced by a man he sees on the streets.. the story unfolds unconventionally in this highly edited masterpiece which deserves more acclaim than it has received .. due to the gay content which is a real shame

      When i was eight, kevin mcallister was my hero, this kid is a genius. You can watch this movie over and over and it never gets old.
    • 7. Seven
      Great ending! The kind of movie that when you leave the theater, its on your mind for weeks.
    • 6. Friday
      Classic! Chris Tucker is hilarious! Excellent timing for the movie, it shows that people had fun in the hood, and didnt just shoot each other. "I'm gonna get you high today, cause it's Friday, you aint got no job, and you aint got shit to do."
    • 5. Fight Club
      Excellent film! Every message they try to get across is so true in real life. "The things that you own start to own you."
    • 4. Shawshank Redemption
      Great emotional and uplifting movie! They kind of movie that after you watch it, you just feel better about life. "They send you here for life, and thats exactly what they take."
    • 3. Big Daddy
      I didnt like it that much when i first saw it. But every time i watched it i noticed funny lines and parts, has tons of great one-liners.
    • 2. Matrix
      Best action movie ever! I can watch it over and over again, and i do.
    • 1. Braveheart
      Best movie ever! This movie is so good it always sends chills down my spine. "They may take our lives, but they'll never take, our freedom."
    Its so hard to make a top-ten list, there have been so many good movies this decade. Here are some more of my favs; Dazed and Confused, Independence Day, Die Hard, Menace 2 Society, Boyz 'n' The Hood, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan
    By: JR
    • 10. Pulp Fiction
      Never saw a movie like that before. Very creative and full of great charecters. The only good movie Quentin Terentino has ever made.
    • 9. Point Break
      The best movie nobody saw...I suggest you rent it and have an open mind.
    • 8. Forest Gump
      "Life is like a box of chocolats...you never know what your gonna get."
    • 7. Saving Private Ryan
      Finally a movie that does justice to WWII veterans and veterans of combat all over the world.
    • 6. JFK
      Many people may not agree with this pick, but being someone who is interested in the life of president Kennedy I thought the movie was very insightful and one of the best.
    • 5. The Shawshank Redemption
      Great story...even better relationship between Robins and Freeman.
    • 4. Heat
      Deniro, Pachino, Sizemore, Kilmer, Voight, Judd...should I say more.
    • 3. The Silence of the Lambs
      "I ate his liver with a side of fava beans and a niece Chianti."
    • 2. Goodfellas
      Great acting by great actors.
    • 1. Braveheart
      The best movie ever made!!!!
