Hoop Dreams was a great and innovative documentary.

Re: Favorite Movies of 1994?
 

I posted a list of "best three of a particular year" but ordered them by what I thought was universally agreed. Herewith, in a different order based on silly personal preference:

Eat Drink Man Woman (early Ang Lee; very charming and rewatchable)
Forrest Gump (admittedly sentimental, but it does just get me every time)
The Secret of Roan Inish (delightful and fanciful)
The Professional (just for Natalie Portman's debut)

In my other post I noted that it struck me it was a year of notable debuts and other notable achievements. Here, in no particular order:

Double Happiness (Sandra Oh debut, one of those "I remember when first seeing her" moments)
Pulp Fiction (John Travolta resurrected; Tarantino cements his auteur status; I still have misgivings though)
The Shawshank Redemption (tops many lists for "best ever")
Three Colors: Red (Krzysztof Kieslowski's conclusion to Three Colors series; 100% on the Tomatometer)
Four Weddings and a Funeral (Hugh Grant breakthrough as heartthrob)
Little Women (Winona Ryder re-emerging)
Ed Wood (overdue recognition for Martin Landau)
Clerks (Kevin Smith's debut hit)
Hoop Dreams (some consider it the best doc ever)
Heavenly Creatures (first major role for Kate Winslet; breakthrough for Peter Jackson)
Speed (Sandra Bullock's first hit and major starring role)
Bullets Over Broadway (Jennifer Tilly standout)
Muriel's Wedding (Toni Colette breakthrough; Rachel Griffiths debut)
Il Postino (The Postman; not seen yet)

And without comment, but all notable for the attention they got:

Death and the Maiden
Crumb
Quiz Show
Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Ah, a great year for movies! Here’s my top ten:
1.The Shawshank Redemption
2.Pulp Fiction
3.Fresh
4.Natural Born Killers
5.The Lion King
6.Ed Wood
7.Immortal Beloved
8.Quiz Show
9.Speed
10.Bullets Over Broadway

Re: Favorite Movies of 1994?
 

Ed Wood and Frankenstein are awesome. Quiz Show and True Lies are entertaining. The rest I've seen aren't as good. I haven't seen a whole lot from 1994. I'm going to watch Quiz Show again. That seems like a good idea. The library has a copy so I requested it.

I don't have a "ranked" list for 1994, but I do have my best picture and nominees listed in no particular order (other than the one at the top). I'll cut and paste that...


Nominees: Exotica, The Shawshank Redemption, Leon: The Professional, Quiz Show, Three Colors: White, Chungking Express, Pulp Fiction, Crumb, Before the Rain, Vanya on 42nd Street, Hoop Dreams, The Emigrant
