• 10. Trainspotting
  This is the druggy movie to end all druggy movies.

  With all the prison as well as all the Stephen King movies made, this one takes the cake. Too bad it's the only good Frank Darabont flick.
• 8. Malcom X
  Spike Lee and Denzel Washington at their absolute best. This is the ultimate bio-pic of the decade.

  The best film noir since "Chinatown"; ultra-cool.

• 10. 101 Dalmations
  Boy do I love classics.
• 9. Matilda
  Based on the Roald Dahl book. Better, too.
• 8. Dr Dolittle
  Ahh, Eddie Murphy at his best. And talking animals, too.
• 7. Titanic
  Perhaps a bit of violence from me at last. But only a small portion.
• 6. Toy Story 2
  Must say this wasn't as good as the first one, but more classic characters who have waiting to get on the big screen finally did, including Barbie.
• 5. Toy Story
  This you've probably figured out already. I don't like violent films. But I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it before this (at least from what I've seen.) Finally some of the world's mpst famous things in a film. By the way, this was the first of it's kind.
• 4. Cool Runnings
  Geez I love movies about my interests. But, who doesn't.
• 3. Forrest Gump
  I know what y'all thinking. Something good from this guy at last.
• 2. Super Mario Brothers
  Do take into account I'm a Nintendo Loyalist. I liked it a fair bit.
• 1. Spiceworld
  OK, OK I admit I'm a Spice Girls fan. But one critic gave it two stars, so I guess it can't be the worst film of all time

• 10. Mrs. Doubtfire
  I laughed so hard in this movie, as did everyone else in the theater. Robin Williams is very talented.
• 9. Dumb & Dumber
  Don't really have to say too much about this one.
• 8. The Saint
  Val Kilmer is a great actor, Elizabeth Shue is so hot, the coolest pair of bad guys in any movie I can think of, the Russian mob leader Tretiak and his son. A really nice car, that Volvo C70 and a great soundtrack.
• 7. Robin Hood and the Prince of Theives
  Great story to start with in Robin Hood, everyone loves him. Great fight scenes. Again I love Morgan Freeman, as well as Costner, that was his last good movie though.
• 6. Shawshank Redemption
  This has one of the best endings in any movie I've ever seen. I love Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. I hated the bad guys in this movie more than in any other and they all end up screwed.
• 5. Independence Day
  Wonderful cast. Will Smith was terrific, as was Bill Pulman, Jeff Goldbloom, ect.. Best aliens since the Predator.
• 4. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
  One of my favorite actors in Harrison Ford, along with the best James Bond ever in Sean Connery, not that that matters in this movie I guess. This put an end to a great series of movies. Great bad girl with the Nazi Chick.
• 3. Batman
  Michael Keaton was the best Batman. Add along with him the best, most sinister villan in The Joker, played perfectly by Jack Nicholson. After this the series of movies got pretty bad. Batman Returns was okay. What was with that ending though, is Catwoman coming back?
• 2. Jurrasic Park
  Simply a great movie. Incredible Animation. The Lost World, and Jurrasic Park 3 sucked though.
• 1. Forest Gump
  Great performance by Tom Hanks in a brilliant movie, with big time stars such as Gary Sinise, Sally Field, Robin Wright, and "Bubba". Also I loved the appearences by Elvis, Pres. Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, "The Bear", John Lennon. Plus one of the greatest soundtracks of all time.
There were so many close calls. So honorable mentions: Hook, Home Alone, Tommy Boy, and The Memphis Belle.

• 10. Sneakers
  A glimse into the world of hackers/whatever-it-is-you-want-to-categorize-them-as, with a witty script, fabulous cast and just superb plot.
• 9. The Thin Red Line
  A war movie, that focused more on the troubled minds of the young men witnessing what we can only halfly observe through movies like Saving Private Ryan or Platoon. It was a refreshing change of pace for a war movie.
• 8. Hook
  How strange to see academy award winner Dustin Hoffman playing Captain Hook. But it works! BRAVO, Spieldberg!
• 7. Fools Rush In
  My favorite romantic comedy to date. Incredibly cheesy, and entirely too predictable, but on the whole, charming as all hell.
• 6. Toy Story
  Whoever thought to pair Tom Hanks with Tim Allen had better to this day be thanking his clever little mind. Another movie for all ages...in fact, I think adults may enjoy it more!
• 5. The Sixth Sense
  That last scene still gives me goosebumps. If the end didn't blow your mind then you are entirely too clever for me. One thing that I think goes unappreciated is how heartbreaking and how tragic the love story really is. Just put yourself in his shoes, or even hers. You may see this movie in a whole new way.
• 4. The Lion King
  Some of the best Disney songs ever written, beautiful animation, comedy and drama. It taught us about the facts of life. For once it truely was a movie for all ages.
• 3. Good Will Hunting
  Launched the careers once and for all (they had been around for quite some time) of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, showed us the serious side to the loved Robin Williams, made us laugh, and made us cry, made us see the diamond in the rough everywhere we could.
• 2. A League of Their Own
  This movie managed to contain sports, dancing, history, fiction, comedy, drama, suspense, girl-power, family ties, sisterhood, friendship, love, loss, success, all while revealing to the world Tom Hanks's comedic genious.
• 1. Jurassic Park
  At the risk of sounding just like everybody else, you gotta admit, this movie rocks.

• 10. Titanic
  This place could've gone to any other movie; but no one can't ignore the hysteria it generated.
• 9. Silence of the Lambs
  Best psycho movie to be made.
• 8. Mask
  Innovative man Carey.
• 7. Seven
  Very different kind of movie making.
• 6. Matrix
  I believe this one of the most influential movies to be made in the 90s.
• 5. Lion King
  Very innovative animation.
• 4. Schindler's List
  Great humanatarian movie.
• 3. Sixth Sense
  Truly different kind of movie making.
• 2. Forrest Gump
  Classic of our times.
• 1. Pulp Fiction
  Masterpiece.
There are other great movies in the 90s and this list far far from being a complete one. Where will I put Beauty & the Beast, American Beauty, Gladiator, Braveheart, Bug's Life, Antz, Appollo 13, Jurassic Park, Home Alone 1 & 2, Independance Day, Wayne's World, Ace Ventura 1 & 2, Basic Instinct, ..... and the list goes on. Actually if there were space for atleast 25 movies then it would be possible to post some of the influential movies.
