Top 25 Films of the 1990's

Image
I was royally bored this afternoon so I did some good old fashioned research, and came up with a list of my favorite films of the 90's. It was very difficult to narrow it down to 25. I tried to get a good balance of comedy, drama, action, horror, etc. films into the list. I would love to hear some feedback. This was a great decade for movies. A lot of these films I grew up watching over and over. I'm not going to get into too many details. I will try and give reasons for some films. Please enjoy! 25. Happy Gilmore (1996) - Directed by Dennis Dugan. Starring Adam Sandler. I don't have to explain myself here. There are one-liners in this film that I still use to this very day. 24. The Firm (1993) - Directed by Sydney Pollack. Starring Tom Cruise. This was a huge decade for Tom Cruise. His films have gotten a little shady lately, but he was a machine in the 90's, and this is a fantastic film. 23. The Truman Show (1998) - Directed by Peter Weir. Starring Jim Carrey. This

Top Horror Films

15. Triangle (2009) - Directed by Christopher Smith. Starring Melissa George. This is a rare hidden gem. It's tagged as a supernatural horror film, but I would call it a psychological horror/thriller. This film makes you think, and it challenges us to try and rap our brains around this unbelievable plot. It's loosely based on the Bermuda Triangle concept, but it's unlike anything you've seen. Triangle is quite similar to a film I've recommended before called Timecrimes . Both films are must-sees! 14. The House of the Devil (2009) - Directed by Ti West. Starring Jocelin Donahue. This a throwback to the great horror classics of the 70's. It really looks and feels like you're back in the 70's with the hair, the vehicles and the cinematic cliches. This film takes its sweet time getting to the point, but it builds tension and the last few scenes are memorable. Every babysitter horror film take a back seat to this one, in my mind. 13. Saw II (2005) - Direc

Top 100 Actors

60. Gael Garcia Bernal One of the best Spanish actors out there. But the kicker is he can speak fluid English. He steals every scene he's in. -The Science of Sleep -Amores Perros -Y tu mamá también 59. Casey Affleck Well, we have our first Affleck. Casey has really come into his own in the past five years. He's terrific in The Assassination of Jesse James, opposite Brad Pitt. -The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford -The Killer Inside Me -Gone Baby Gone 58. Cillian Murphy He has great relationships with directors Christopher Nolan and Danny Boyle. Two of the best directors alive know what Murphy is capable of. -28 Days Later... -Sunshine -Batman Begins 57. Tobey Maguire His defining role was in 2009's chilling film Brothers. The Spider-Man films launched his dying career. Now that those films are long gone, I'm eager to see what he latches onto next. -Brothers -Spider-Man -Spider-Man 2 56. Mel Gibson Gibson hadn't appeared in a film in five years
