3. Fight Club [1999]
4. The Matrix [1999]
5. Glengarry Glen Ross [1993]

Can someone please explain to me what is so appealing about Unforgiven?. I found it to be laughably bad

Oh I don't know, this is a job better suited for Holden, the man with the western knowledge, but I found it to have brilliant direction, top notch acting on all parts, and it was the perfect deconstruction of the archetype Eastwood had built up throughout his career.


love it....

Top o' the mornin to ya!
I read through this thread and admire the choices of movies that all of the posters have selected. I have a new blinky twitched eye respect for all of you. (Only if you could see my 'citement!) I giggled like a little girl (for proper context, please realize I’m a very large girl.) So I find myself in cinema bliss and I am glad to be part of this virtual movie MOFO forum community. Thanks for havin' me.

Anyway, anyhow, my favorites of the 1990's consist of;
Pulp Fiction
Boondock Saints
Fight Club
I liked Young Guns.





…but that’s just my opinion, and you don’t want that.

Here are some magic rocks and wear your safe color because I now return you to your previously scheduled -cinematic- wankfest.
