  • Watching Minority report on Saturday evening reminded me of how much of a flat spot the late 90s and early 2000s were for me. Am i being harsh/blinkered or were films generally a bit shit around then?

    Struggled to think of three films i'd be sad if i could never watch again. Came up with The Insider, Battle Royale and Spirited Away (Like Momento but don't need to watch it again).

  • The Matrix
    Scream
    28 Days Later
    Donnie Darko

    Maybe Tarantino stuff?

    I do agree though, plenty of stuff in the early 90s that I still like watching (True Romance, Jurassic Park, Point Break) and the late 00s (Nolan Batmans)

    Probably loads I am forgetting.

    I feel we are in a funk right now too, not much from 2019 onwards (the covid times) to bang on about.

  • Fargo (1996)
    Big Lebowski (1997) not a huge fan but figure it's well loved
    Fight Club (1999)
    Matrix (1999) probably seems dated now but in the relatively pre internet days was really interesting

  • 3 good picks, but I think you missed Boogie Nights, Fargo...

  • American History X
    Secrets and Lies
    Happiness
    Thesis

    I should have added "Lone Star" to my list. Except that's a film I missed the chance to see when it came out and it's only an accident of coincidence that led me to watch it at the weekend and rectify my mistake.

    Fuck me, that's a film and a half.

  • Wait, going back a few pages...

    How did nobody mention American Psycho?
