What do you think is the most influential movie of the 90's?
- Thread starter Street Knowledge
- Start date
As far as special effects I'd say "The Matrix". It would definitely be "T2" if "The Matrix" didn't exist. Everything had bullet-time for a minute.
As far as dialogue, plotting, and over all direction I'd say virtually any Tarantino movie.

It's really hard to argue against Toy Story.

Bond's gun spoke once....

I think the argument against the Crow is that Batman Forever and Batman and Robin dropped right after it, not to mention Steel. Comic book flicks were dead in the water before Blade dropped in 98 and sparked a mini revival which led to X Men which then led to Spider man and all bets were off
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
T1k IMO is a template for the characters in the matrix. Especially agent smith.
T2 launched the elite special effects which Is still now the status quo.
Rated R blockbuster as well.
as soon as I read the title, Pulp Fiction and the Matrix were the first two movies that come to mind
This thread reminded me how amazing 90's Hollywood was
Seriously...
Some really great selections....I'll throw out a dark horse selection in "there's something about mary"....The movie was insanely popular, and redefined the comedy genre setting a template that a lot of popular comedies seemed to emulate years after.
This thread also reminds me of a topic I've read about and heard podcasts about: how great of a year 1999 was for film. Something about Mary, The Matrix, Fight Club, South Park, Toy Story 2, Iron Giant, Magnolia and I'm sure I'm missing some
I'd say Dumb & Dumber and American Pie had a little bit more of an impact
Wargames
One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
Pulp Fiction
The Matrix
Waiting to Exhale
Batman
Blade
Those 5 movies basically spawned all the major movies that are coming out right now and honestly since.
Foul Language violent dramas
Sci Fi computer special effect movies that are extremely violet
Black female Oriented lifestyle dramas
DC Superhero Movies
Marvel Superhero Movies
The Matrix
Waiting to Exhale
Batman
Blade

in no particular order
Scream: I think it had an influence on horror movies that came after it.
Titanic: It was a cultural classic in the United States and probably the biggest movie made in the 90s
Lion King: Who hasn't seen Lion King?
Matrix: nothing needs to be said

yall just naming movies yall like and aren't pointing out any influences
You should just say most memorable movies from 90's
Pulp Fiction is a the quintessential 90's film so to speak, but I can't think of movie thats tried to emulate it
only thing I think of was Crash told the story in a similar way
From a special effects stand point, its the Matrix, because they are still using those techniques in films till this day
and Toy Story because all those animated films resemble it, but then again they're all made by pixar for the most part, and to be real the computer animation isn't that good I've seen cut scenes in video games crushing that shyt
