Great rec's. I remember Safe Men but not the other two. Will try to track them down.
It was. Just missed it.
I realize just how many movies I saw in the 90s. Easily the most of any decade. So many good ones, but I can't believe (unless I just plain missed it again) that I forgot and no one has mentioned the most "rewatchable" movie ever...
Tombstone!
Wow- just crazy how stuff gets missed. Even when I went back through it a second time!
Tombstone has to be an all-time favorite for a number of folks in the forum.
Yep, Tarantino wrote it and used the money to help fund his first movie Reservoir Dogs. Most people also don't know that Tarantino had written the script in what came to be his signature non-linear format; but Scott didn't buy into the vision yet and decided to reconstruct it and cut it linearly.
I've heard that some fans had gotten their hands on the original script and recut the movie to more fit Tarantino's original vision, but have never seen it anywhere.
BTW - another 90s film that shouldn't be forgotten is Point Break. Not a great movie by any stretch, but one of those guilty cheese-fest pleasures that is awesome in other ways.
Good call!

Goodfellas(1990), Jurassic Park(1993), Seven(1995), The Sixth Sense(1999), Home Alone(1990), Good Will Hunting(1997), Groundhog Day(1993), Mrs. Doubtfire(1993) Tommy Boy(1995), Austin Powers(1997), Happy Gilmore(1995), Billy Madison(1996).

Don’t forget Beavis and But- Head Do America
The great Mike Judge! Gosh, did I leave out Office Space too? Not an Oscar winner, but definitely a cult favorite. "I believe you have my stapler..."
Just in case it wasn't mentioned.
Boogie Nights. The bad acting was executed to perfection....such a great flick
Some of these mentioned, some not. In no certain order:
The Shawshank Redemption
Ghost
A Few Good Men
There’s Something About Mary (just simply the “hair gel” scene was hilarious)
Schlinder’s List
Edward Scissorhands
Friday
Wayne’s World
Natural Born Killers
Seven
Tombstone
Sling Blade
Groundhog Day
Misery
Silence of the Lambs was definitely one of the GOAT imo.
Definitely part of the Tarantino universe...Harvey Keitel references Alabama (Patricia Arquette) in a conversation with Lawrence Tierney in Reservoir Dogs.
Speaking of True Romance characters - interesting to see Lee Donowitz who played Saul the producer pop up as one of Pacino's Nazi crew in the Amazon series Hunters
Wow no The Last of the Mohicans? 1992. Great soundtrack, beautiful scenery, awesome battle scenes.
The English Patient was approximately 7 years of my life I’ll never get back.
