1
GoodFellas (1990,  R)
GoodFellas
One of my personal favorites, a flawless film brilliantly acted and directed. The best film of the 90's.
2
The Shawshank Redemption (1994,  R)
The Shawshank Redemption
One of the most loved films of all time, just an incredible stroy spanning 30 odd years in an abusive prison. See it.
3
Pulp Fiction (1994,  R)
Pulp Fiction
The definative 90's film, it oozes with style and is well acted and directed.
4
Fargo (1996,  R)
Fargo
One of the most striking things about Fargo is the cold, satire weather. At the beginning of the film we see endless white until we see a car's headlight's seeping through that vast colour. This is what struck me the most about Fargo. After seeing this cold, endless snow, what unfolds over the next hour and a half, through all of the slapstick comedy, violence and suspense is one of the best films I've ever seen. The Coen brothers have created a completely original masterpeice that is undoubtably the best film they have ever made, and probably the best film they will ever make.

Joel and Ethan Coen, whose other credits include No Country For Old Men, Millers Crossing and Barton Fink, have really outdone themselves here with this smart, thrilling masterpeice. The film stars William H. Macy as Jerry Lundeggard, a car salesman who is heavily in debt. He hatches a plan in order to repay his debt. He hires to thugs, brilliantly played by Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare, to kidnap Jerrys wife and hold her for randsom at $1 million, which Jerrys wealthy father-in-law, played by Harve Presnell, will pay for. All goes according to plan until one of the thugs (Peter Stormare), is forced to kill a state trooper and an innocent couple who witness the murder. The three bodies are discovered the next morning and into the mix comes Brainerd's police cheif Margie Gunderson, played bu Frances McDormand in an Oscar winning role. What unfolds next is one of the most original, compeling stories in the history of cinema.

I cannot say enough good things about Fargo and I cannot recommend it enough. There isn't a dull moment here, there is so much emotion in this film. Every scene is as compelling, exhilarating, funny, exciting and unpredictible as the next. An absoulte masterpeice of modern cinema.

Heat (1995,  R)
Heat
Heat is a fasanating 3 hour film from Michael Mann that really pulls the rug out from under your feet. The best cops and robbers film ever made, Heat is a non-stop thrill ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
6
Schindler's List (1993,  R)
Schindler's List
Arguabley the most powerful war film ever made, Steven Spielbergs masterpeice is film noir at its best.
7
Hoop Dreams (1994,  PG-13)
Hoop Dreams
The best documentary film ever made and one of the best films of the 90's, Hoop Dreams follows the lives of young black school basketball players and their potential in life. A masterpeice.

9
Trainspotting (1996,  R)
Trainspotting
Stylish, brillant film from Danny Boyle that follows the lives of herion addicts. Think a british version of Pulp Fiction.

The Thin Red Line (1999,  R)
The Thin Red Line
A beautiful film just to look at, The Thin Red Line is the best film of the year 1998. Brilliantly acted and directed, The Thin Red Line is the best film that Terrence Malick has ever made and is a better film then Saving Private Ryan, realeased in the same year. A masterpeice.
13
Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991,  R)
Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse
This is one of the best documentary films I've ever seen. There isn't a dull moment here, has tons of interviews with the stars of the film and Francis Ford Coppola and much rare footage from the film. If your a fan of Apocalypse Now, then this is esentially.
