Best Films of the 1990s?

I'm not gonna list 10, because I'm lazy, but some of the best include...

• Babe
• The Hudsucker Proxy
• Fargo
• Jurassic Park

Reservoir Dogs
Saving Private Ryan
The Thin Red Line
Forrest Gump
The Matrix
Boys Don't Cry
Groundhog Day
Pulp Fiction
Being John Malkovich
and my personal favorite, the always overlooked Election

(was Dead Poets Society 90's or 80's?)

Dead Poets Society was released in June of 1989 here in the States. Don't know what the U.K. date was, but looks like it opened in France and Germany in late January of 1990.

Holden, is all this information you have off the top of your head or do you have something to assist you in all this. Cause I mean man, you've got some information on stuff I've never even heard of.

Yes, I'm Rain Man.

No, of course it's not off the top of my head. I was using the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) just like everybody else. The site isn't exactly a State secret.

Oh, and I'm an excellent driver (slow on the driveway).

I know, but didn't know if you had a book there at your disposal. I don't know if you have heard of it but Movie Hound Golden Retriever, very helpful!! Suggest you get it if you want more information on movies.

Yeah, Holden's just resourceful. Everyone has access, but few have the patience to post it on MoFo. I love IMDB...great, great site.

I too use the Videohound (or BoneDog as me and my friends call it)
Its got great cross-referencing, etc. but often times it lacks or has incorrect information.

Egad! Tell me you're joking about both of those! Gaaah!
