Not going to DV but I disagree...not Tarantino's best movie by a long shot in terms of dialogue and story (the last 20 mins reminded me of the end of Inglorious Bastards) but I thought Pitt and Dicaprio were tremendous. Agree with you on American X, though. Very difficult to watch but Norton was great. He was also excellent in Fight Club & Rounders (both strong 90s movies in their own right.
Speaking of Tarantino - his popularity spawned a whole series of noveau-noir movies in the 90s that tried to copy his vibe. Two of the better ones for me were "Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead" (Andy Garcia and Christopher Walken) and then the Usual Suspects which was one of my favorite movies from that decade, as well.
Under rated comedy for me is Grumpy Old Men. Matthau and Lemmon were comedy gold in that one. But the cat that stole the show was Burgess.
Hey, least you make a case rather than hiding in the shadows. I really wanted to like it & gave it a honest shot but just felt like an obnoxious ode to his ego. I expected much more, especially from that outstanding cast.
You might like redheads when I prefer brunettes....it's all good
None of these movies I'm about to name are from the 90's so Off Topic
I agree with you about inglorious bastards being QT's best film until I saw "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" the other day. Wow, is all's I gots to say. "J'ango" was pretty darn good too.
1999
The Matrix & American Beauty.
*I was in college & drunk most of the time
I hear you - def not as strong as some of his others and the story itself definitely dragged.

A personal favorite. It might not win awards but I love it
Great call! It captured the moment (end of the 80's, start of a new decade) perfectly.
AnotherDawg that is an amazing list. Not sure this was on it but I watched The Rookie again last weekend starring Dennis Quaid. I’d recommend it to everyone as it is great real life story of Jim Morris and an incredible story of a baseball player and coach who made it to the MLB at 35. Met him at a conference in Nashville earlier this month the same night the tornadoes hit.
Shawshank is the goat...
I would recommend Tin Cup if you have never seen it. Good movie to watch with the wife as well.
Still the highest rated movie on the IMDb charts.

@razorachilles @ug@UGA4Life Loved Grumpy Old Men, but my favorite Matthau-Lemon movie was The Odd Couple.
Also, I've been tuning in to TCM of late and just finished watching Some Like it Hot. It stars Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe. Filmed in '59, but the story takes place in the '20s. It also includes Pat O'Brien and George Raft, prominent actors during the Prohibition Gangster Era.
The original Odd Couple was a great movie...but also love what Krugman and Randle did with those roles on the TV version. Rarely are remakes better/as good as the originals, but both Oscar/Felix tandems were excellent in their own way. Sort of like how Ricky Gervais' David Brent and Steve Carrell's Michael Scott are different intrepetations of the same character in The Office (UK version vs US)...love them both!
Reminds me....True Romance was so good & one of the best scenes ever with Dennis Hopper
Agreed! Just had to shoehorn a Big Lebowski reference in there if we’re talking 90s movies.
At this point, something important needs to be said.
A list of top 90's films that doesn't include True Romance and The Big Lebowski is a really sh!tty list!!! 😲
(Thanks for catching it. Both of those are candidates for Top 10 of the Decade...)
Directed by the great Billy Wilder!
Along with Christopher Walken. One of the greatest scenes in the history of film.
Not everyone knows it but Quentin Tarantino wrote that script. The late Tony Scott (Ridley Scott's brother) directed.
