What movies from the 90s will become classics?

[Kid_A]

I'm talking about movies that people will watch decades from now, the way people today watch TAXI DRIVER and THE GODFATHER and CASABLANCA and 2001. Those movies have found new audiences decades after they were made. I think there were some movies made in the 90s that are good enough to be remembered 40 or 50 years from now. Here's my list:

PULP FICTION
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
SEVEN
JURASSIC PARK
THE MATRIX
SCHINDLER'S LIST
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
FORREST GUMP
GOODFELLAS
AMERICAN BEAUTY
PHILADELPHIA
SPEED
TERMINATOR 2
THE PROFESSIONAL
RONIN
FIGHT CLUB
THE SIXTH SENSE

There are tons more that are worthy of being called classics, but I can't think of them.

1. Independence Day.

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Big Fish.

At least it oughta be. I love this movie and its exploration of father son relationships. :hi:

** and Titanic, whatever people think of it. I personally enjoyed it.

[Beware the Beast Man]

6. 00's maybe...but not 90's

4. Fargo. Rushmore. (Maybe Bottle Rocket also). South Park movie. Elected.

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. Reservoir Dogs & Clerks

Are already underground classics.

[JohnKleeb]

8. umm many of these are already classics

Donovan's Atlantis is always in my mind, and I think of Tommy DeVito kicking the crap out of Billy Batts, way down beneath the ocean!

[GOPisEvil]

9. I think Office Space will never not be funny. A comedy classic, perhaps.

[phillybri]

10. Swingers

IMHO

[gratuitous]

11. Let's see . . .

Showgirls
Good Burger
Spice World


That should do to derail this thread in its entirety.

:evilgrin:

[LowerManhattanite]

12. Left Out A Couple...

Spike Lee's "Malcolm X"

Scorcese's "Casino"

The Coen's "The Big Lebowski" (Verrrry Preston Sturges-like) and "O' Brother Where Art Thou"

Oliver Stone's " Natural Born Killers"

Sam Mendes' "Road To Perdition"

And the comedic Holy trinity of Guest/McKean/Shearer's "This Is Spinal Tap", "Waiting For Guffmann", and "Best In Show" ("A Mighty Wind" comes close...but not quite)

[LowerManhattanite]

13. "Rushmore" and "Election"...

...how could I forget those two? Hilarious, smart and beautifully well-made.


Good catches!

[Gildor Inglorion]

14. Raising Arizona, Armageddon, Deep Impact

Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace

[Insider]

15. i hope MISERY

kathy bates lit up the screen

[salinen]

Were

Magnolia or Boogie Nights made in the 90's?

[jpgray]

16. The Big Lebowski

A brilliant film.

[shreck]

17. list

Kid_a, I'd narrow your list down to
SCHINDLER'S LIST
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
Of these I thought The Shawshank Redemption was the best. It didn't deal with huge issues like SPR and SL but was very well done.

[mede8er]

18. Fight Club......

Number 1 'feel good' movie of the ninties........

[ihaveaquestion]

19. Austrailian / New Zealand flicks came into their own in the 90s

Add these....

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Strictly Ballroom
Once Were Warriors
