The second and third entries petered out fingers crossed that next year's fourquel, a return to the alternate reality mythology that captivated us on the first go-round, captures the magic of the classic smash. With every trip down the rabbit hole, The Matrix loses none of its allure or heart-pounding excitement. The Wachowskis' stone-cold stunner sci-fi actioner broke all the rules, captured the zeitgeist and snagged four Academy Awards (notably beating Star Wars for Visual Effects, American Beauty for Film Editing). Jackie Brown benefits greatly from a Delfonics motif and rousing bookends of “Across 110th Street” by Bobby Womack.Ĭarrie-Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves in 'The Matrix' 18. Jackie Brown lightly homages Blaxploitation pictures of the 1970s (of which Grier was queen), and as is the case in all of Tarantino’s films, sharply selected music selections do some of the storytelling. Robert Forster was Oscar-nominated for his turn as a world-weary bail bondsman who becomes hopelessly smitten with a beautiful flight attendant (a great performance by Pam Grier) in the midst of a heist. This adaptation of Elmore Leonard‘s Rum Punch doesn’t sacrifice the invention, hilarity, danger, or intoxicating theatricalities of Pulp Fiction, but the characters are perhaps even richer, and it’s got even more heart. In fact, Jackie Brown has something that’s eluded every other film in the Tarantino canon: a great romance. Though some considered it a disappointment at the time of release, and it’s underrated to this day, Jackie Brown is Tarantino’s most mature, soul-satisfying storytelling. Pam Grier and Robert Forster in 'Jackie Brown' 19. Rapturous performances from an ensemble cast and a masterly control of tone call to mind the best of Robert Altman. Boogie Nights (1997)įrankly, it's nearly tied with the underrated Magnolia for us, but we're selecting this iconic, hilarious, sad and punchy depiction of 1970s California porn-making as Paul Thomas Anderson's finest of the 1990s. What do we do? What do we do? Watch it through 'til the very end, of course! 20.

Jan de Bont's red-blooded yet witty and buoyant popcorn thrill ride about a terrorist plot on a bus put Sandra Bullock on the map, cementing Keanu Reevesas action royalty, Dennis Hopper as a master of unnerving screen villainy. Robin Williamswon a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for an indelible turn as a grieving psychotherapist.
Good Will Hunting struck a chord with audiences worldwide, grossing about 20 times its budget. The duo’s Oscar-winning screenplay centers on a mathematics genius grappling with mental health issues, a lady love and small-town trappings. Hilarious, romantic and moving, Good Will Hunting launched the careers of Matt Damonand Ben Affleckinto the stratosphere. The “live-action” though not really live-action remake received mixed reviews (Uncanny Valley alert!), and is currently the highest-grossing animated film of all time. With no shortage of catchy tunes, memorable anthropomorphized characters, humor and drama, this Africa-set loose adaptation of Hamlet was one of the most financially successful films of the ’90s, for good reason. It’s the kind of scary that stays with you for days, maybe forever. By the end of it, you’ll just want to cover yourself with a blanket, perhaps paralyzed with fear.

No visual effect in a movie will ever be as scary as what we can create in our heads with our imaginations. The Blair Witch Project (1999)īefore the parodies, and long before the found footage genre was run into the ground, Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick‘s micro-budgeted The Blair Witch Project, an innovative work of wondrous and horrid imagination, was one of the most frightening motion pictures of all time. The future Ant-Man also starred in the less-fondly remembered Halloween 6 the same year. Did you think we’d forget to include one of the best high-school movies of all time? As if! Amy Heckerling‘s observant, delightful take on Jane Austen‘s Emma made Alicia Silverstone a superstar, and launched the career of Paul Rudd.
