watching thin red line got my 90s nostalgia going so had to compile my top ten list of best 90s movies. (Thin Red Line would have been #11).
10. The English Patient
9. Silence of the Lambs
8. Eyes Wide Shut
7. The Matrix
6. Pulp Fiction
5. Heat
4. Braveheart
3. Unforgiven
2. Glengarry Glen Ross
1. Goodfellas
pretty good list. can't comment on 2 of them - never saw The English Patient (damn Seinfeld episode) and the only thing I remember from Braveheart is Mel Gibson painted blue. Need to watch again.

Agreed tho' I'd have moved Braveheart and Glengarry down the list and Silence up.
Here’s 11-20. Again, best films, not coolest or funniest or cultiest. Of course, it’s subjective.
Of course. And naturally, having been shared in public, it’s open to other subjective comments, including remarks about its lack of surprises, or else why share it?
Galaxy Quest was definitely a highlight, in a sheer-entertainment class that I’d also put Out of Sight in.
A few more darkhorses I’d have to consider: Dazed and Confused, Buffalo ’66, Fresh and The Sweet Hereafter.
Add Good Will Hunting, Trainspotting, Rushmore, Groundhog Day and Reservoir Dogs (over Pulp) and I’ve exceeded 10 already. With the enormous caveat of many blind spots because I haven’t seen them yet, among them Lambs, Boyz, Ryan, Nikita, Matrix, Glengarry, Iron Giant and Princess Mononoke.
David Mamet, of all people, said there are only 4 perfect movies and Galaxy Quest is one of them. He's right. You smile through the whole thing. And what a cast.

As opposed to Glengarry, where you cringe through the whole thing. And what a cast!
(eta: cringing is meant as a compliment. love that film.)
I watched Bullet Train on Netflix last night. I loved it. It was mad. It was witty. It had great dialogue and amazing (very violent) action scenes.
