• 10. Amistad
  Yeah. Anthony Hopkins is frickin cool. Yeah
• 9. Clerks
  If you like anything else by Kevin Smith, I guarantee you will like this more.
• 8. Pulp Fiction
  The last scene in Pulp Fiction is my favorite scene from any 90's movie.
• 7. Office Space
  Hahahahahahaha!
• 6. The Matrix
  The Matrix is nothing but a huge upgrade on every generic action film. But it was the first to do it, and therefore deserves quite a bit of credit.
• 5. The Usual Suspects
  I heard this movie was originally too complex for Hollywood to accept. Turned out being one of the greates films ever made.
• 4. American Beauty
  Is it just me or did this film shape the way our culture looks at movies?
• 3. Pi
  Darren Aronofsky shows here why he is the greatest director in recent history.
• 2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
  This film is absolutely hilarious and is Johnny Depp's best 90's movie.
• 1. Eyes Wide Shut
  This is Stanley Kubrick's best film. It is even better than a Clockwork Orange.
some more phenomenal movies from outside the 90's: the shining, requiem for a dream, blow, gladiator, sunset boulevard, rear window, field of dreams

• 10. Independence Day
  Not much to say. Good Movie. I'm not a big Will Smith Fan..but I enjoyed this movie.
• 9. The Others
  This movie was intelligent. I was mesmerized by every aspect of it. From the setting, wardrobe, to the dialouge. Everyone can't appreciate it though, and that's sad.
• 8. Malcolm X and The Original Kings of Comedy
  People sleep on Spike Lee. He is such a talented and brilliant director until it hurts. He leaves you with things to ponder about on your way to your car from the movie theater...the cinematography in his movies are phenomenol. Never-the-less, Lee goes unnoticed. Malcolm X is the best role that Denzel Washington has ever played (screw Training Day...he should've gotten the Oscar for X). Greeeeeeeeeat Movie! Kings of Comedy was an excellent movie. It made you feel as if you were in the audience.
• 7. Billy Madison
  Adam Sandler is one of the comedy kings of the 90's. I love all of his movies (with the exceptions of Little Nicky, and Big Daddy) Madison is my favorite Sandler movie
• 6. Scary Movie
  THIS MOVIE HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST FUNNIEST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN. I am not a big fan of gross out movies, but this movie had me dying of laughter.
• 5. The Truman Show
  This movie just leaves me in awe everytime I see it. Good stuff I tell Ya, good stuff.
• 4. Pulp Fiction
  I get excited just thinking about this movie. Pulp Fiction was just a good time. It took you places. Good Movie
• 3. The Shawshank Redemption
  A good movie. I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. Andy: Brilliant!! When I heard Steven King had something to do with this movie, my jaw dropped. Steven King: Terrific! Such a heartwarming movie
• 2. Friday
  Although it is one of the more simple movies of my list, it's non-complexity is what makes it so great. It's one of those movies where you can just sit down and watch it without boggling your mind thinking about "Who shot whom?" and "Will the ghost get them now?" etc. Friday is a simple story-teller, a vital factor that most movies neglect.
• 1. Forrest Gump
  THIS MOVIE HAD IT ALL!! Death, life, sickness, health, bloodshed, historical events. I felt a lot of emotions while watching this movie. I laughed hysterically. I cried uncontrollably. This movie is hands down the greatest movie of the 90's.
Honorable Mentions: Not Another Teen Movie (what can I say, it was funny) Bad Boys Baby Boy Boyz In The Hood (John Singleton=Brilliant!) Meet The Parents the list continues... ps...Forrest Gump should be on ALL lists.
