The Best Movie of the 90's?

[RicochetShaw]

Either Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, or Shawshank Redemption.

[The Dude]

That sounds about right. Plus Fight Club and American Beauty, both in 99.

[SubMethod]

American Beauty
Being John Malkovich
Pulp Fiction

I think they are all equally the best.

[FlickJunkie]

American Beauty (10/10) is the best movie I've ever seen. It's extremely well-acted, directed, written, edited, scored, filmed, everything about this movie is perfect. It's both dramatic and funny, which I love movies that can make you laugh and cry at the same time. Not that I cried during American Beauty, but it's dramatic scenes were sometimes disturbing (but in a good way). Words cannot describe how much I love American Beauty. I've seen it so many times, I know every word by heart. It's apart of me now...

I liked most of the movies you guys listed but THE BEST MOVIE OF THE 90's was/is:


Legends Of The Fall (10/10)


No other movie of the 1990's was better then that one, it is a classic, it also features Anthony Hopkins' and Brad Pitt's best performance of their career.


P.S. Other movies of the 90's that were really good(not the best)but you guys failed to mention are:

Seven Years In Tibet
Shakespeare In Love
The English Patient
The Basketball Diaries
The Quick and The Dead
The Man In The Iron Mask

Plus Many More......
