Well, my list may be a little different than the others, I don't know. I actually looked up lists of movies released in the 90's so I wouldn't leave one out. Still don't think I got them all, but here goes: In no particular order

Silence of The Lambs
Titantic
JFK
The Fugitive
Misery
Shawshank Redemption
The Sixth Sense
Cape Fear
Speed
Primal Fear

A few that maybe not "award" winning, but among my very favorites nonetheless:

Die Hard (2& 3 were out in the 90's) but I love the series

Lethal Weapon (espcially the first 2)

Con Air, Sleeping With The Enemy, Unlawful Entry, Falling Down, End of Days, Heart & Souls. Recently I saw "Turbulence" with Ray Liotta on tv, and I really liked that one too.

As of late I've been wanting to see LA Confidential. Glad to hear so many people enjoyed it. I might pick it up at work this week and watch it next week, if I'm in the mood.

It's definatly worth checking out, a really good film in my opinion.

TIS:
I almost put Primal Fear on the list too. Had I not remembered Silence of the Lambs, (and how could I have forgotten?!) Primal would have been there. I loved the book - did you read it? Edward Norton was outstanding in the film.

Irishman:
I read On the Trail of the Assassins. Some of the movie lines were taken directly from the book. I also read a book entitled JFK written by Fletcher Prouty, who purported to be the source behind the "X" character portrayed by Donald Sutherland.

My List for Top 10 of the 90's(in no order):

GOODFELLAS
JFK
SCHINDLER'S LIST
PULP FICTION
UNFORGIVEN
SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
HEAT
BEING JOHN MALKOVICH
L.A. CONFIDENTIAL
FIGHT CLUB

How was the book? Anything like the movie or what??

How was the book? Anything like the movie or what?? [/b][/quote]"On the Trail of Assassins" was largely like the movie. A good number of Kevin Costner's lines were taken almost directly from the book. I don't know how much you followed up on your own, but from what I read, a lot of what Garrison claimed was discredited. I still like the movie, but I have read in several sources about multiple inaccuracies in the film. I know the book had stuff about the characters played by John Candy, Joe Pesci, Jack Lemmon, and Kevin Bacon.

One thing I found interesting - Garrison was not at the Clay Shaw trial regularly, as portrayed in the movie. The real Jim Garrison portrayed Chief Justice Earl Warren in the film (a brief scene making a statement about Oswald).

The "JFK" book was good, but sometimes hard to follow. The guy had so much information that it was difficult to keep everything straight. I read it over 10 years ago, but I seem to remember something in the book similar to the scene where X is told to stand down from Dallas and go to the North Pole as a military escort. You can

I12, no I'm afraid I have not read either of those books, I have mostly seen documentaries. I have read "Murder In Dealy Plaza" however, and it was very very interesting to say the least.

I am surprised to see that along with JFK, a few of you have included "Falling Down", which was not that popular of a movie, but I think the acting was great as was the story.


TIS

It really is surprising how little good 90s films Ive seen:
Goodfellas
Casino
Schindlers List
American History X
Fargo

To anyone who has never seen it or hasn't seen it in a while (TIS), I would HIGHLY recommend watching JFK as soon as you have the time. EXTREMELY entertaining with one of the best cast assembled

I wasnt going to give any input until I realized that NO ONE had Boogie Nights on their list.


Dissapointing. Best movie of the 90s right there.


1. Boogie Nights
2. GoodFellas
3. Heat
4. Speed
5. Dumb And Dumber
6. Usual Suspects
7. Bowfinger
8. Donnie Brasco
9. Three Kings
10.Casino

Actually I12, this thread has put me in the mood to see it again. I think I am just going to buy it. Hopefully, I can get out tomorrow and pick it up. It's been a rainy weekend, and it's a perfect time to stay inside and watch movies.


TIS

I saw the 2-Disc special edition Shawshank Redemption DVD in Wal-Mart today. I was soooooo close to buying it, but I've already bought two DVDs this week (Saw and Fight Club). So I said I'll wait til Monday!

Speaking of Shawshank Redemption, I never saw that movie at the theater. I had heard of the title only, but had no clue whatsoever by the title, what it was about. I really liked it and have seen it a few more times.


TIS

I hope you get it. If you do & watch it, please let me know how you enjoyed it. I want to save some time to watch it again with the commentary on

I did. I agree, it is excellent, definetely Anderson's best.
