1990
Born on the Fourth of July
Dead Poets Society
Field of Dreams
My Left Foot: The Story of Christy Brown
A good year for movies, not a great year. "Field of Dreams" had a great premise but it didn't go far enough for me. I'd love to see the boxing version of this movie. LOL:
1991
Awakenings
Ghost
The Godfather Part III
Goodfellas Great year for De Niro (See Goodfellas and Awakenings.) Best picture is "Goodfellas" and it's not even close. My opinion.
1992
Beauty and the Beast
Bugsy
JFK
The Prince of Tides Strange, but I would not have picked this movie in 92 over JFK and Bugsy. As years go on, I can't sit through the bullshit that was JFK (seems like it was made up as it went along) and Bugsy, though a good movie, didn't have the mystery of the "Prince of Tides."
1993
The Crying Game
A Few Good Men
Howards End
Scent of a Woman Not a good year for movies. Formula movies dominate. Didn't like "Good men" but I like Jack Nicholson in anything. If we're going to be corny, let's give Al Pacino's speech in "Scent" the nod.
1994
The Piano
The Fugitive
In the Name of the Father
The Remains of the Day / Classic movie year. I loved the Fugitive. "In the Name of the Father" was heartbreaking. My pick for that year.
1995
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Pulp Fiction
Quiz Show
The Shawshank Redemption : The year of "Pulp Fiction." Nuff said. I haven't really liked "QT" since, but I loved this one.
1996
Apollo 13
Babe
Il Postino
Sense and Sensibility ; I was in complete awe of this one. Ron Howard may be guilty of not giving "Big Max Baer" an honest look, but his sense of detail in this movie is uncanny.
1997
Fargo
Jerry Maguire
Secrets & Lies
Shine : Beats out "Shine" by an inch. The Coen Brothers may be the most original filmmakers I've ever seen. Only an outright foolish artist would try to imitate them. Their act is.... their act.
1998
As Good as It Gets
The Full Monty
Good Will Hunting
L.A. Confidential Big year for movies. "Good Will" was special. "Full Monty" was lovable and "As Good as It Gets" was good. I never saw anything quite like LA Confidential before. Great idea worked out beautifullly. Since this production, many a producer and director have tried to re-create the "50s" Hollywood era and fallen on their faces.
1999
Elizabeth
Life Is Beautiful
Saving Private Ryan
The Thin Red Line [/quote] All good movies. I'll admit that I'm not fan of "Period movies." "Liz" was a great one in my opinion. Cate Blanchett gave a breakthrough performance.
