Best Movie of the 90's

[JVS]

Poll question: Best Movie of the 90's

Don't like my options? Fuck you!
I'm rolling with the New Jack crew.

[stuntcat]

1. I pick

Fargo first.
Then Welcome to the Dollhouse. I was just like Wienerdog, only ten years earlier :headbang:

[Adsos Letter]

2. Fargo...yah think?

...oh yah...

:D

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Fight Club gets my vote.

[salin]

4. Boyz in the Hood

woke a lot of folks up to some of the realities of impoverished urban communities in the early nineties (during the height of the crack epidemic.) Or perhaps doing youth work in Detroit in that time frame - when the movie resonated so strongly (per its reflection of the lives of many young people that I worked with in that time frame.)

[Seashell Eyes]

5. Silence of the Lambs followed by Welcome to the Dollhouse

Welcome to the Dollhouse is a great black comedy and it's sort of like watching myself at age 12.

[JVS]

8. it seems strangely appropriate that already 2 posters love dollhouse but don't vote for it

6. L.A. Confidential is my personal choice...

you couldn't find room in your poll for GoodFellas? for shame!

[Richardo]

7. Fargo, I think

With Hudsucker Proxy right up there....

[JVS]

9. what about Barton Fink?

[Richardo]

11. I didn't like Barton Fink or Miller's Crossing

Don't know why... :shrug:

[begin_within]

10. Tie between "Ed Wood" (1994) and "Contact" (1997)

[Richardo]

12. I'd vote for Ed Wood....

:thumbsup:

[Divine Discontent]

20. both of them rock!

I really liked both. If I could only watch one ever again, it'd be Contact. If I had to watch one every week, it'd be Ed Wood! Not sure what that means other than I'm silly, but that's how I feel about these two great flicks. Thanks for bringing them up.

14. La Ceremonie is pretty awesome.

[Lethe]

15. Mind if i do a J?

The Dude minds, man, this aggression will not stand, man.

Ah, nice marmot.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. I picked Fargo

cuz it's a personal favorite, but there's a strong case to be made for Silence of the Lambs. 50 years from now, that will still be a famous movie.

[terrya]

17. Fargo

With "Welcome to the Dollhouse" 2nd.

[krispos42]

18. Hey! Where's "Ernest Scared Stupid"?

:hide:

[JVS]

25. In hell, where it belongs

[krispos42]

33. Oh, the discount bin at Wal-Mart? n/t

[Divine Discontent]

19. hello Clarice....

it puts the smegma on its skin or else it gets the hose again!

oh, wait, wrong post.

[BlooInBloo]

21. Out of those choices: The Professional. Best. Romance. Ever....

... even if a bit disturbing to think of in those terms.

[Tyler Durden]

22. Guess which one I voted for. n/t

[JVS]

24. Menace?

[Dragonbreathp9d]

23. GAH!!! They're all so good!

Thanks for the Dollhouse, more people need to see that movie! (though not the best)

[Magrittes Pipe]

26. This... is for... Matilda.

Boom.

[wicket]

27. Reservoir!

:D

[asthmaticeog]

28. Where's "Boogie Nights?"

Mark Wahlberg's prosthetic willie deserved an Oscar -- in my pants!

[JVS]

31. the phrase is "down my pants" today! You lose!

[regnaD kciN]

34. Without Boogie Nights...

...this poll is about as valid as the following:

Who is your choice for President in 2008?

a) Rudy Giuliani
b) John McCain
c) Mitt Romney
d) Fred Thompson

In each case, the list of alternatives isn't quite complete...

[racaulk]

29. Memento

But of the choices provided, I selected...well, I can't say...the first rule is not to talk about it. :-)

[racaulk]

30. American History X was great also! n/t

[regnaD kciN]

35. It was great until the last few minutes...

...where it crashed and burned with The Worst Ending Of All Time (including Polanski's notorious mangling of Chinatown).

[BOSSHOG]

32. A Few Good Men

You can't handle the truth

[deucemagnet]

36. The Shawshank Redemption

Damn near perfect.
