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

[MadMarchHare]

The Shawshank Redemption is IMO the best film to come out in the 90's.  That it lost to Forrest Gump is inexcusable.
I think Shawshank is one of the greatest films of all time, second (IMO) only to Casablanca.
Schindler's List not being on there is a travesty.

And let's not forget, Army of Darkness came out in the 90's.

Well said.  'Shawshank' was actually a complete failure in the box office despite being widely distributed, which is one of the biggest reasons it didn't stand a chance in the Oscar race.

I would put 'The Usual Suspects' in the running also.

[Wingspan]

i like usual suspects, a lot. but basically the usual suspects is a good movie with a great ending.

[MadMarchHare]

And if we're discussing action films, Commando clearly takes the cake.
After all, in an action film, all we really want to see is violence, memorable one-liners and titties.
Commando didn't have even the thinnest trace of a plot;  hell, most of the action sequences didn't make any sense.

Man was that a great year for movies.  Shawshank, Gump and Suspects was a helluva lineup for best picture.
Compare that to the years Titanic or the brown movie (English Patient) won.  God

Yeah, but you gotta give credit to a movie where a guy throws a saw blade through a guy's head.

usual suspects had a baldwin in it = disqualification

[MadMarchHare]

  Especially since it was so clearly a wax mannequin.  The picture of the sawn off head being clear skin toned plastic is one of the funniest scenes in movie history.

That coupled with Bennett being electrocuted by a transformer, falling back off and punching Matrix in the face.  Haven't seen humor like that since the Stooges.

Nah, just an exception to the rule.  Never seen Glengarry Glen Ross, or Malice.  Both excellent films with a Baldwin.

[ice grillin you]

excellent film yes...the best of anything...no

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Steve Baldwin is the best Baldwin, though.

[rjs246]

Army of Darkness trumps all.

[SunMo]

Rudy was on last night, and out of the billion times I've caught a piece of it, last night was the 1st time I realized Vince Vaughn was in it.

One disclaimer for Baldwin's:  "The Hunt For Red October."

That movie might have been even better with Harrison Ford playing Jack, though.
