As I’ve got older, Shawshank just feels so cliche. Top movie sure but wouldn’t bother me if I never saw it again. I remember when Seven and Copycat came out, they were quite ground breaking at the time. As too was Scream for that matter. Seven definitely the pick of them
The movie I think deserves a place on that sort of list is The Usual Suspects
Not sure what conversation was set off from my post, but these were just the first ones I thought of.
The Usual Suspects is one of the best 90s films for sure.
As an English teacher, I get to be a bit of a film buff for work.
Added bonus is rubbishing the Star Wars sequels and telling Gen Z kiddies that they wouldn't know a great film if it smacked them in the face.
I've see a heap of great films added here, Braveheart being one - how bout you fellas add your 3 fav films and we'll see how many great films are out there.
I think the best thing about 1990s cinema was the rise of Tarantino and the flow on that allowed directors like Fincher to get their films made.
The last decade has been fun - but dominated by Marvel type franchise films, super heroes etc. great for a big screen, lots of effects etc. but light on when it comes to getting you to think about the world.
The last movie I saw that had me walking out mind-blown was Joker.
