The Firm is in the top 50 loved that movie
Also Glengarry Glen Ross
My top 3 of the 90s:
Point Break
LA Confidential
Jurassic Park
Usual Suspects is the most overrated IMO. Doesn't make sense.
Usual Suspects
Usul Suspects doesn't make sense, but Jurassic Park does ?
It is fantastic although not a barrel of laughs
Just a few that I think are better
Shawshank Redemption
Pulp Fiction
Goodfellas
Saving Private Ryan
Schindler's List
Forest Gump
The Green Mile
Silence of the Lambs
Can't remeber which comedian said something like...
"I told my girlfriend I was going to watch Schindlers List. She told me I'd need a few tissues, but not even I could find anything to w**k to."
So...back to this, what is it?

There is a company called Schindler (dunno where it is bit I've seen 'em installed in Swiss railway stations) which makes Lifts!
The joke doesn't work in the US though..
I haven't seen it in years, but my main memory is that the entire fabrication by Verbals is a pointless exercise - he could simply clam up, plead ignorance and walk away. Everything that happens in flashback actually didn't happen, so why embellish it with all the Kobayashe clues for Chaz Palmitieri to work out.
I do like many bits of Usual suspects; all the Del Toro and Baldwin stuff is excellent, and the line up scene is fantastic. I just think the plot itself is internally flawed.
The lift where I work in Worthing is maintained by Schindlers - the company predates WWII.
As I get older I get this feeling that the 90s was the last great decade. The cinemas weren't full to overflowing with comic superheroes. Has there even been a musical movement that really took hold since Britpop? Our politicians didn't scorn experts and we were almost blissfully unaware of the ecological shit storm coming down the tracks.
But that's probably just nostalgia talking.
