is millers crossing the best movie of the 90's?

[Rome]

I thought "American Beauty" was the best movie of the '90s.

"Fargo" was great, "Reservoir Dogs" was also great.

Your first shot puts him down, then you put one in his brain.  Then he's dead, then we go home.

^^^^^
thats what im talking about

[Mad-Lad]

you've obviously never seen the greatest movie of the 90s, Baby Geniuses.

[ice grillin you]

1. millers crossing
2. la confidential
3. silence of the lambs
4. boyz in the hood
5. seven

it really hurts not to put schindlers list in there

90's>70's

resovoir dogs>pulp ficiton


millers crossing doesnt get the love it deserves because its a timeless film that doesnt try to be 'hip' like pulp fiction and cater to an audience of irony starved 20something know it all psuedo intellectuals pant wetters...it deals with moral and philosophical issues and doesnt build its foundation on shock value and one liners...fact is...its much better written....acted...and shot film than any other film of the decade....they are still two of my favorite films of the 90s...but i guarantee 20-30 years from now itll be up there with Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas when people talk about crime films...the scene where turturro begs for his life and the scene where finney goes buck wild with the tommy gun are two of the best scenes in film history...period

For me, in terms of pure entertainment and how many times I've watched these flicks id say Shawshank Redemption/Pulp Fiction or even T2.  yes, back in the early nineties T2 was fargin awesome and you cant even debate.   

[SunMo]

well it definitley sounds like a movie i would like.  so i'll check it out sometime.  but you don't need to shtein on Pulp to make your point.  next time i see you, i'm kicking you in the shins.

[ice grillin you]

lol...thing is i love pulp ficiton...its just overrated thats all


t2 never saw never will


shawshank very good but outlandishly long...which keeps it from being great


edit - i completely ignored the part about entertainment and replay value...shawshank is of the charts in this aspect...a sunday afternoon on the couch flipfest movie

[mussa]

i never saw millers crossing.

[rjs246]

Shawshank isn't any longer than every film that hits the theaters now.

How can you deny yourself the simple pleasure of watching futuristic androids built for destruction beat and shoot the shtein out of each other?

Maybe my assessment of you having the movie taste of a common house wife was off slightly... You actually seem to have the taste of a pompous college film major. I'll bet you use the word cinematography at least four times a day. I'll bet you loved Pulp Fiction when very few knew who Tarantino was and distanced yourself from loving it when everyone and their mother started falling all over themselves to see/talk about it. You turn up your nose at big guilty pleasure movies, but boring ass dramas (none of which are discussed here, thinking more along the lines of Match Point) get your thumbs up. EMO ass, film school dropout, film-critic wannabe is what I'm envisioning.

[SunMo]

he can throw a punch though, so that's gotta figure in there somewhere

[rjs246]

Ha. What a complex specimen.

except for the fact that i stated more than once i love pulp ficiton and one of the most popular movies of all-time silence of the lambs was my second favorite movie of the whole decade youre right on point

i mean im all over boring ass dramas like seven boyz in the hood and millers crossing

[rjs246]

Don't get defensive, dude. I'm just sayin'.

i may have to get a copy and watch it to find out what all the hype is about.
