Review |
| Saving Private Ryan | 1998 | 96 | 1 | - The greatest World War II film of all time. End of story. |
| Few Good Men, A | 1992 | 94 | 2 | - One my all time favorites. What else is there to say? If you can't enjoy this movie, you can't handle the....movie industry? |
| Goodfellas | 1990 | 94 | 2 | - This is Scorcese's best work, hands down. Easily one of the greatest movies of all time. |
| Forrest Gump | 1994 | 93 | 4 | - There's no other movie like it, and I'm not sure there ever will be. |
| Good Will Hunting | 1997 | 92 | 5 | - The blended cast of Robin Williams and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon symbolizes the handing of the torch in Hollywood from one generation to another. And both are equally brilliant. |
| Titanic | 1997 | 90 | 6 | |
| Apollo 13 | 1995 | 89 | 7 | - You see Bill Paxton and Gary Sinise in this movie and you can't help but to think 'how did they not make more out of their careers?' |
| Shawshank Redemption, The | 1994 | 89 | 7 | - It's a powerful tale about friendship, but the life-is-what-you-make-it story is heavily sugarcoated for a film that takes place primarily in a cruel prison. |
| Braveheart | 1995 | 87 | 9 | - This will stand for all time as the way historical epics SHOULD be made. |
| Jerry Maguire | 1996 | 87 | 9 | - Love, drama, and comedy. Sports, Office Work, Home life. It is literally impossible that this film doesn't have SOMETHING for you. |
| Silence of the Lambs, The | 1991 | 87 | 9 | - It's rare that a thriller is, at the same time, both genuinely creepy and compelling. Ultimately, that's what makes The Silence of the Lambs special. |
| Schindlers List | 1993 | 84 | 12 | - Very good, but, a tid bit overrated if we're being perfectly honest. |
| Fugitive, The | 1993 | 83 | 13 | - It's good guy vs. secret good guy vs. bad guy that the good guy doesn't know exists. Is there a better premise for a manhunt flick? |
| JFK | 1991 | 82 | 14 | - It's good or maybe even great, but certainly not excellent. It's lasting legacy will be adding fuel to the fire of conspiracy theorists everywhere. |
| Pulp Fiction | 1994 | 80 | 15 | - An instant cult classic, but be warned: it's trendier to pretend to like this movie than it is to actually like it. |
| Dances with Wolves | 1990 | 70 | 16 | - It's sort of a 'Lawrence of Arabia' for the Western world. |
| Fargo | 1996 | 70 | 16 | - The Coen brothers' 'Fargo' is an enigma: not funny enough to be a real comedy, not serious enough to be a decent drama, and nowhere close to neatly fitting into any other genre. |
| Unforgiven | 1992 | 69 | 18 | - Neither terrible nor amazing. But the second half is worth the price of admission. |
| Godfather Part III, The | 1990 | 61 | 19 | - Every franchise has that movie that tells everyone it's time to stop. This is that movie. |
| Thin Red Line, The | 1998 | 61 | 19 | - Ultimately, the problem with 'The Thin Red Line' is itself. It wants to be both a gritty war flick and a cinephile's wet dream. Had it committed one way or the other -- likely the former -- we probably would've had a great flick on our hands. |
