Murr, I think you are a *leeetle* bit sensitive sometimes... I'm working on a list, just saying there's a lot of damn good films in that time period...

Nothing to my statement other than I wonder why you feel the need to respond to a topic when you have nothing to say.

MooglePorn · 09-23-2003, 06:34 AM

Okay here we go:

1. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
2. Chasing Amy
3. Moulin Rouge
4. Braveheart
5. High Fidelity
6. Se7en
7. 12 Monkeys
8. Almost Famous
9. Jackie Brown
10. From Dusk 'Till Dawn

And three that were really hard to leave off:

Fight Club
Memento
Wonder Boys

I did have something to say... I said "hey this is a lot to work through" considering all the great titles... what's your problem?

Ummm, you DIDN'T leave Jackie Brown off that list, moogle. She's your Number Nine. So that leaves the other two....was there another third?

MrTony · 09-23-2003, 06:37 AM

Pretty much in order:

Pulp Fiction (1994)
Almost Famous (2000)
Fargo (1996)
Boogie Nights (1997)
Jackie Brown (1997)
L.A. Confidential (1997 - geez, that was a good year)
Out Of Sight (1998)
Rushmore (1998)
Donnie Brasco (1997)
Office Space (1999)

Mur, I've seen eight of the ten movies on your list and they're all excellent. I especially love Gangs Of New York. I haven't seen Election or Amelie, but they're both on my Netflix queue.

Moogle - Chasing Amy is another favorite of mine, as is High Fidelity.

I've seen all these and the great part is they're probably all in my top 20!! Pulp Fiction would probably be a lot higher on my list if I hadn't watched it so many times I got a little worn out! Great list!

Move them to the top of your Netflix queue. I think, based on your tastes, that you'll really like both of them.

Triple HHH · 09-23-2003, 07:00 AM

I think it was Moogleporn's first post (of course I can't say for sure it's not me) way of saying he thinks the thread is a good idea (I think so too) but it will take him a while to pare it down to his favorite 10.

Now I've responded to the thread and I don't have a list ready.

I know for sure the ones going in there are: --in no order--

1)The Thin Red Line
2)The Talented Mr. Ripley (that movie creeps up again!)
3)Fargo
4)Schindler's List
5)Braveheart and Titanic (not the greatest of films, but great examples of "epic" films)
6)Crumb
7)Pulp Fiction

The rest of the honorable mentions goes to films like: Eyes Wide Shut, The Insider, Good Will Hunting, L.A. Confidential, Secrets and Lies, The Sweet Hereafter, Dead Man Walking, Shawshank Redemption......umm, Patch Adams?

I would love to see Hoop Dreams soon. I noticed my list does seem to ignore foreign cinema and that's because I admit I haven't been able to catch many of them and some are plain hard to find. (especially Scorsese's favorite two: "The Horse Thief" and "A Borrowed Life")

MurDiddlyUrdler · 09-23-2003, 07:05 AM

Schindler's List would have to be left out because it was released in 1993. This thread is for 1994-2003 films. Not that I don't think Schindler's List is one of the most amazing films I've ever seen. I'm glad I still have that laserdisc.

Gattaca and Lolita are strange choices. I did not like Gattaca when I saw it in theatres, but I was young... may be time to give it a second try. Lolita I have never seen because I love the original so much. Which do you preffer?

1. Royal Tenenbaums (W. Anderson, 2001)
2. Pulp Fiction (Q. Tarantino, 1994)

8. Big Lebowski (Coens, 1998)
9. Punch-Drunk Love (P. T. Anderson, 2002)

Punch Drunk Love
Memento
Royal Tenenbaums
Matrix
Pulp Fiction
Gattaca
Gangs of NY
LA Confidential
American Beauty
LotR Fellowship

Well that's ten off the top of my head (in no particular order) and I already know I have left some off. I haven't even got a Coen film on there... Rushmore springs to mind, as does Being John Malkovich, American Psycho and Solaris (2002).

I need to rethink this list.

MrTony · 09-24-2003, 05:16 AM

Like other people, I couldn't resist the urge to make a second list.

Three Kings (1999)
American Beauty (1999)
O Brother Where Art Thou? (2000)
Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
Gangs Of New York (2002)
Chasing Amy (1997)
High Fidelity (2000)
Traffic (2000)
A Mighty Wind (2002)
And since I'm already cheating by going beyond ten, I'll cram the Lord Of the Rings movies into one spot.

MurDiddlyUrdler Banned Join Date: Aug 2002	Schindler's List would have to be left out because it was released in 1993. This thread is for 1994-2003 films. Not that I don't think Schindler's List is one of the most amazing films I've ever seen. I'm glad I still have that laserdisc.

Version Actor Join Date: Jan 2003	Punch Drunk Love Memento Royal Tenenbaums Matrix Pulp Fiction Gattaca Gangs of NY LA Confidential American Beauty LotR Fellowship Well that's ten off the top of my head (in no particular order) and I already know I have left some off. I haven't even got a Coen film on there... Rushmore springs to mind, as does Being John Malkovich, American Psycho and Solaris (2002). I need to rethink this list.

MrTony Forum Wise Guy Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Waterloo, Iowa, USA	Like other people, I couldn't resist the urge to make a second list. Three Kings (1999) American Beauty (1999) O Brother Where Art Thou? (2000) Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) Gangs Of New York (2002) Chasing Amy (1997) High Fidelity (2000) Traffic (2000) A Mighty Wind (2002) And since I'm already cheating by going beyond ten, I'll cram the Lord Of the Rings movies into one spot. __________________ Prevent tornadoes before they happen: Make sure that warm, moist air fronts do not converge with cool, dry ones.
