    By: Double Down
    • 10. Braveheart
      Mel Gibson is not just an actor yet a director.
    • 9. Billy Madison
      Gets more funny every time I see it.
    • 8. Shawshank Redemption
      Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne was a great achievement. Too bad his good movies are few and far. Bull Durham of the 80's. Maybe one a decade
    • 7. Reservoir Dogs
      Terantino is great in the 90's and look out for PT Anderson in 2000+
    • 6. Mallrats
      Just another great film from Kevin Smith
    • 5. The Usual Suspects
      The crew couldn't have been better cased and Spacey with the Oscar...
    • 4. Snatch
      It was filmed in 1999 so I think it should count. Guy Richie!!! I mean Madonna wanted to have this guys kids...
    • 3. Good Will Hunting
      Matt Damon is not just a great actor but a talented writer.
    • 2. Pulp Fiction
      Does anything else need to be said
    • 1. Swingers
      Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau star in a Jon Favreau writen masterpiece. It doesn't get any better then this!
    All these films fail in comparison to SWINGERS. You either get it or you don't and I feel sorry for those who don't.
    By: Mike
    • 10. American Pie
      This movie was awesome cuz i always wondered when i'd finally get laid too. The sequel was awful (probably the worst movie i ever saw, worse than terminal velocity) and i heard they are making a third. Sequels most always suck so don't watch them if you haven't already. Just watch the first one cuz it defines the life of a loser kid in high school for the nineties, much like say anything, breakfast club, etc movies do from the eighties.
    • 9. American Beauty
      This movie was brilliant. The way the director makes suburban life out to be makes you think twice about your neighbors. The best part is Kevin Spacey lifting weights and smoking weed while he tells his wife she's a greedy bitch. Very good movie.
    • 8. Rocketeer
      Another excellent "super-hero" film. This movie also carries an excellent story line and good acting. I wish i had a rocket pack and could fight Nazis. Hell yeah.
    • 7. Fight Club
      The voice overs from Edward Norton about how messed up his character is are brilliant. This movie is so fucked up i just love it. The ending is one of the craziest things i've ever witnessed.
    • 6. Chasing Amy
      This one completes the New Jersey Trilogy. Kevin Smith knows how to tell a story. Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back were both good but don't even compare to the original 3.
    • 5. Mallrats
      An awesome sequel to clerks. who cares what the critics say, this movie is awesome. "One time my cousin Walter got a cat stuck in his ass..."
    • 4. Clerks
      Kevin Smith is the man. This movie is on nearly everyone's list so i'm sure it's been bragged up enough.
    • 3. Dumb & Dumber
      This is probably the funniest movie ever made. Jim Carrey's best. I haven't seen a movie that's made me laugh like this one does since i saw D&D.
    • 2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
      The Turtles are the best creation for children in the ninties. This movie is excellent. The acting isn't bad, the fight scenes are awesome, and the story is actually very serious and moving while keeping the comedic attitudes of the Turtles intact.
    • 1. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
      This is the only sequel that was better than the first. It is a pure classic and James Cameron's best film. If only he wouldn't have done titanic... I modeled my life after john conner when i was a little kid
    Spider-Man is the best superhero film ever but it wasn't made in the 1990s. And the first batman was also awesome but it came out in 89.

    • 10. Duets
      ohh just watch this movie, awesome movie!!
    • 9. Seven
      Se7en isn't just a movie, it's a psychological trip through hell that leaves your head spinning, your heart pumping and your stomach crying out for the medicinal properties of a stiff whiskey, or five
    • 8. Face Off
      extraordinary acting with Cage and Travolta, especially playing each other
    • 7. The Professional
      about a freelance mob assassin
    • 6. Goodfellas
      De Niro, Pesci and Liotta: brutally funny, and often just plain brutal
    • 5. Saving Private Ryan
      the best war movie ever, the most realistic, beginning of this movie is the best part of this movie but the rest of this movie is as touching and action-packed, Winner of five Academy Awards
    • 4. Schindler's List
      very poignant, even heart-wrenching. Spielberg is very effective with the black and white, using color to make a point. Winner of seven Academy Awards, i dont believe those academy awards but this movie deserves all awards
    • 3. Shawshank Redemption
      Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman (i think this is Stephen Kings story but it reminded me 'Monte Cristo' by A.Dyuma) anyway this is very well made movie, exceptionally great entertainment
    • 2. The Matrix
      The Matrix is the most visually inventive, downright thrilling film experiences of the past 10 years
    • 1. Forrest Gump
      nothing to say, this is the best movie. This movie teaches us to live life to its fullest despite setbacks, a movie is a movie, doesnt have to be a real story! all about entertaining...
    The Sixth Sense - this film has one of the most surprising, sad endings I have ever seen Fight Club, Devil's Advocate, Last of the Mohicans

    • 10. Boogie Night
      Excellent movie about people we see as jokes taking themselves seriously.
    • 9. Short Cuts
      Could have picked Magnolia but this movie gets overlooked. great movie about people living their lives and how we are all connected in some way we just do not see it therefore we think what we do won't matter.
    • 8. Chasing Amy
      How a romantic comedy should be.
    • 7. Leaving Las Vegas
      Nic Cage and Elizabeth Shue give great performances to a tragic yet beautiful love Story
    • 6. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
      A couple of guys just living in 1972 one of America's worst years. Film that looks to have no message does if you pay attention.
    • 5. The Thin Red Line
      A war movie that doesnt focus on one solider and the misfits around him but many soliders each dealing with there mortality. Movie's atmosphere sucks you in.
    • 4. Swingers
      Im biased but if you a 35 or younger in 2002 this movie just makes so much sense anout how guys really are...
    • 3. American Beauty
      Academy finally giving A best picture oscar to a movie that does not follow Hollywood format
    • 2. Goodfellas
      A great Movie , interesting charcters, great soundtrack......many pop culture refrences came from Fellas
    • 1. Pulp Fiction

      Very good movie, I didn't think Jim Carrry could play in a drama until I saw this.... it's a little sad though....
    • 2. A Bronx Tale
      Another good mafia movie, I think it's as good as the Godfather, Robert De Niro is also in this. Chazz Palminteri is very good in it.
    • 1. Goodfellas
      Very good mafia movie, I think it's better than the Godfather..... just a little... Ray Liotta is very good in it, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci are in it also, need I say more?
