Is there a finer 90s film than The Fugitive?!!

[n1 gull]

The Firm is in the top 50 loved that movie

 

[jimhigham]

Also Glengarry Glen Ross

Ooh, that is a fantastic shout. Good call that man.

 

[Nathan]

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

No because Tommy Lee Jones won the best supporting actor Oscar over Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth in Schindler's List which I think you will find is the GREATEST Oscar travesty of all time imo

 

[GOM]

My top 3 of the 90s:

Point Break
LA Confidential
Jurassic Park

Usual Suspects is the most overrated IMO. Doesn't make sense.

Usul Suspects doesn't make sense, but Jurassic Park does ?

 

[Postman Pat]

Usual Suspects

This!

 

[MattBackHome]

Usul Suspects doesn't make sense, but Jurassic Park does ?

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.

It is fantastic although not a barrel of laughs

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."

 

[Danny-Boy]

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

The Fisher King. Superb. RIP Robin Williams..

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."

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..

 

[Danny-Boy]

So...back to this, what is it?

A documentary of the last days at the Goldstone?

 

[KingstonSeagull]

Think that was Gervais

 

[Stato]

Can't remeber which comedian said something like...

It was a letter in Viz.

 

[KingstonSeagull]

two words... CON AIR

The lift where I work in Worthing is maintained by Schindlers - the company predates WWII.

Oh, and The Green Mile and Aladdin.

 

[Withdean South Stand]

A Few Good Men (1992).

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Trainspotting was a far finer 90s film than The Fugitive. IMHO, like. Obviously.

..and the plot for, nay the whole concept for, Jurassic Park is not flawed.

There is probably hardly a film out there where the plot is not flawed at some point, this does not matter, it's almost expected, so not really worth bringing to the table.

Maybe he didn't make a list and actually made lifts?

Schindlers Lifts... It's all a big mis-understanding!

Maybe Mel Gibson was right?

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.

Think you're onto something. After they made LOTR, cinema died... There are no great stories left to tell just endless franchised marvel comics and cgi bores
