5 Best Movies since 1990

[CapstoneStan]

I liked Forrest Gump a lot, not so much I want to watch it every week but I still liked it a lot. Pulp Fiction was a movie that I couldn't get into and thought was a total waste of a bag of popcorn.

I never understood why everyone thought Pulp Fiction was such a big deal. But then I don't care for Quentin Tarantino either.

Honorable Mention - Pulp Fiction

Funny, that we Bama fans like Shawshank Redemption so much, it makes me think of hope in somewhat of a hopeless place. I think it describes the state of our football program over the last several years (10) that we may have to "crawl through a mile of "Shi# but may just yet come out clean on the other side". My top 5 is just to hard to come up with but no doubt that
Tombstone and Shawshank Redemption are right in there!

I have another honorable mention:

LA Confidential, cant believe this one didnt make anyone's list

Yea that was a pretty good one but not in my top 5 though.

Remind me never to go to the movies with you :biggrin:

He wouldn't invite you unless you promised not to make a peep during the movie. He is one of those guys who is even bothered by having people around him eat popcorn during the film. :biggrin:

I can live with popcorn because I'm doing it myself, but anything above that usually drives me crazy... unless it's an accepted "audience participation" film.

I don't usually go to see movies where the animals talk.

1. "Saving Private Ryan" - absolutely outstanding, and an excellent tribute to 'the greatest generation' as well.

2. "A Beautiful Mind" - best story, hands down.

3. "O Brother, Where art Thou" - pure entertainment; a movie for the sheer fun of it. Love the Cohens when they get rolling.

4. "The Others" - And you thought ghost stories had to be bloody.

5. "Full Metal Jacket" - I am too young for Vietnam, but the first thirty minutes had me believing I was back on Parris Island. The only truly realistic portrayal of boot camp I have ever seen come from Hollywood.

Honorable mentions - "Cinderella Man", "Reservoir Dogs", "Unforgiven", "The Green Mile", "The Big Lebowski", "Natural Born Killers", "The Ring", "Forrest Gump", "Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned". If the last one hadn't been made-for-T.V., it might well have made the top five.

JMHO (Just my hokey opining),

No worries... still a great film. I love watching just the boot camp sequence. R. Lee Emery, who plays Sgt. Hartman, was only going to be a technical adviser on the film. When Kubrick saw him give a non-stop 15 minute D.I. rant while having tennis balls and oranges thrown at him, he gave Emery the role.
