Legends of The Fall1994 were early high school days for me. My buddy told me I had to watch this new Pulp Fiction movie. We had a movie night, I watched it, and I came away asking, "What the fuck was that!?" Hated it. Didn't feel like the story being told out of time helped anything and was just done for pretentious reasons.
My wife's part of a Facebook group that decided to vote on the 53 best '90s movies, then everyone would watch one per week in chronological order and discuss afterward. Kind of like a book club only for '90s movies. At the end, there was supposed to be a big costume party where everybody came as one of the movie characters (I planned to attend as The Dude's Credence tape). COVID shot the party down but not the movie watching, so I watched a lot of '90s movies last year, Pulp Fiction one of them. I have a WAY better appreciation for it now than I did then. It would still probably be sixth at best on this list for me, but it's a great movie.
For me:
1.) LOTF
2.) Shawshank
3.) Gump
4.) Dumb and Dumber
5.) Clerks
6.) Pulp Fiction
7.) The Professional

Pulp FictionI thought Shawshank had a chance to win this year. Did not quite expect this margin.

Legends of The Fall
It's flawless. The score alone is worth Best Picture. I think that's the problem with this bracket: More than one movie that are flawless, so it's just going to come down to which one is going to tug the right strings for each viewer just a little more. Naturally, being raped in prison is going to resonate most often at HCH.YellowSnow said:I thought Shawshank had a chance to win this year. Did not quite expect this margin.

Shawshank Redemption
Legends of the fall would win if the criteria was a count of pretty poses by the lead actor. Add the score and scenery and subtract everything else and you have your clear winner.1to392831weretaken said:

Legends of The Fall
I was talking about Shawshank in the above post, but okay. Just saying there's really nothing to nitpick from multiple movies this year. Several are pretty much perfect.chuck said:

Shawshank RedemptionI see movies winning awards these days and I am like what the fuck this piece of shit won but Shawshank and Pulp Fiction didn’t?
3 of the top 12 on IMDB
https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?groups=top_100&sort=user_rating,desc
And Schindler’s List was just one year earlier. Movies aren’t made like this anymore.
I don’t know how a prison movie can have so many memorable quotes but that’s what makes it amazing. -
Pulp Fiction
All the best movies @whlinder are TV shows now. I mean who even goes to a fucking movie theater anymore? It’s just gay ass comic book shit.whlinder said:I see movies winning awards these days and I am like what the fuck this piece of shit won but Shawshank and Pulp Fiction didn’t?
