I haven't seen The Green Mile or 25th Hour, but the rest of the list is pretty good. A Simple Plan, to me, is one of the best movies of the 90's. I've always felt that it never got as much credit as it deserved. The Fisher King, too, has become very underrated. I mean, of course it won an Oscar and everything, but among Terry Gilliam's filmography, it tends to be lost in the shuffle nowadays amidst the cult-classic-becoming-just-a-regular-classic Brazil, and the two movies he made later in the 90's, 12 Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, neither of which I think lives up to its hype.

(I won't whore my own favorites here, since they've been posted in enough threads already.)
