  my girlfriend has made me see this movie so many times!!! im so glad that its an sxcellent movie otherwise i might be upset
• 5. fight club
  one of those movies that makes you think to yourself 'what the hell was that?' as you leave the theatre.....i loved it
• 4. the sweet hereafter
  the most depressing movie ever made....fine piece of cinema but i dont recomend it if you've lost someone dear to you recently
• 3. the truman show
  not so much a movie as it is an entire world....captivating to say the least....jim carrey is marvelous
• 2. the thin red line
  the best war movie ever made, maybe the best movie ever made
• 1. the ice storm
  if you think american beauty was a good movie watch this one and find yourself changing your mind
the following movies i considered but ultimately struck down because while they are personal favorates they lack the art and vision that the listed pocess: dazed and confused, mission impossible, theres something about mary, american pie, saving private ryan, sneakers, chasing amy, the lion king, babe, forrest gump, etc.

• 10. Philadelphia
  
• 9. Se7en
  
• 8. The Usual Suspects
  
• 7. Saving Private Ryan
  
• 6. Get Shorty
  
• 5. Schindler's List
  
• 4. The Shawshank Redemption
  
• 3. KIDS
  
• 2. Boyz N the Hood
  
• 1. American Beauty
  
Well, let's face it. The 90s weren't a great decade for mainstream filmmaking. Very few films from this era will be regarded as classics, and even fewer probably deserve it. It is a decade that will probably be remembered for style over substance, and that is why several of the films that I have included on my list rest more with their visceral impact than with their message (Se7en, Usual Suspects, etc.). That's not to say that beautiful visual AND contextual movies weren't made, however-- as anyone who has seen Philadelphia or American Beauty can attest to.

• 10. Shakespeare in Love
  Shows that past things still can be relevant to our lives
• 9. Goodfellas/The Godfather
  I just can't choose between them, sorry!
• 8. Dazed and Confused
  Reminds me of a lot of my friends!
• 7. Pulp Fiction
  Another self-explanatory one, I think
• 6. Saving Private Ryan
  Because it opened up my eyes and realized that crappy stuff is a lot closer to home than I thought
• 5. Forrest Gump
  Just 'cause I like it
• 4. Good Will Hunting
  NOT because of Matt Damon, but because it teaches you not to take everything at face value
• 3. Reservoir Dogs
  I think this one is pretty self-explanatory
• 2. Kids
  A real look at life and the way that some kids today have to live and things they have to deal with
• 1. Chasing Amy
  Actually, anything by Kevin Smith, but I think this one epitomizes a lot of the 90's culture
These are in no particular order, and there are hundreds more that I love, but these were just off the top of my head.....

  Nicoloas Cage did he's best acting here.Great movie.
• 9. Fear
  Mark Walhberg is an amazing actor. The story line was good.

  Adam is great in this film.I totally fell in love with him, big nasty wig and all.

• 10. Jurassic Park
  Who didn't love it?
• 9. Diabloique
  The remake of the classic french film LES DIABOLIQUES is a classic in my eyes even though it was loathed by critics.
• 8. The Hand that rocks the Cradle
  Rebecca De Mornay got my attention in this psychological thriller that is now forgotten
• 7. The Silence of the Lambs
  How many teenagers saw this? You can't describe its brilliance.
• 6. Erin Brockovich
  If Julia Roberts doesn't even receive an Oscar nomination for this, there shouldn't be an Academy Awards at all.
• 5. Copycat
  A classic murder caper in our time.
• 4. Stir of Echoes
  This movie was over shadowed by the box-office smash THE SITH SENSE. Just rent it, you'll thank me.
• 3. Pleasantville
  The ignored movie that discusses change over time is good and that u can't stop what's inside you to stand up for yourself and your beliefs.
• 2. The Scream Trilogy
  Enough said
• 1. American Beauty
  The timeless movie about how we don't look closer at the things surrounding us is the movies that my generation didn't look closer at and they should have.
I'm only 16 and you probably think that I'm 35. Well i do have my own movie review newsletter so I guess that makes me a critic. By the way you all picked the same teenage drivel that ended with the last scene being a prom that had an inspirational speech by the lead character. I'm saying my list is better I'm just saying that our generation doesn't reach out and grasp other movies that are really great. I don't mean to offend anyone by this bc that was you opinion and well this is mine.

• 10. A matter of degrees
  The movie blew oats but the soundtrack is the best of all times....includes work from the greates band alive: yo la tengo. Plus pixies, nova mob, and miracle legion.....may be pretty hard to find, but try to anyway
• 9. Kingpin
  Q: "Do you believe in new beginnings?" A: "Is that some kind of feminine hygeine spray?" The darkest, most misunderstood humor I have ever seen in a movie...went way over most people's heads...Bill's funniest, most sarcastic work to date.
• 8. Pleasantville
  Amazing movie...amazingly filmed...amazing soundtrack
• 7. Mallrats
  Opening scene: "Sweet fucking Crist would you knock it off!" Jason Lee...from smart-ass skater to smart-ass actor...too many one-liners to count
• 6. So I married an axe murderer
  Forget Austin Powers...this is Meyers' funniest movie.
• 5. Awakenings
  Robin Williams fines movie. Robert DeNiro's finest movie. Very sad.
• 4. Phantom Menace
  No explanation necessary...George Lucas is the god of imagination...screw all you cynics.....
• 3. Lawn Dogs
  Has any one else ever seen this movie?!! Go get this damn movie right now!!
• 2. Pi
  Math...madness...mayham...a mathematical genius with serious mental issues discovers the answer to the stock market, the Koran,....what else needs to be said.
• 1. Fearless
  My second favorite movie of all time...next to Harold and Maude (and yes, I saw it many years before Cameron Diaz mentioned it). Jeff Bridges plays the greatest role of his career in a film with an extremely powerful plot.
I was friends in elementary school with the girl who got screwed in the opening scene of KIDS. She was a nice girl....just saw her a couple of years ago...she recognized me but I didn't recognize her....how's it going Sarah?
