Top 40 of the 90s

So since I fail at watching any movies to chat about, I’ll just rip on another Moviefone list. This time, it’s the top 40 movies of the 90s. I don’t think this list is as bad as the animated film one, but I think some of the movies are out of order. Like WHY THE HELL IS THE MATRIX EVEN ON IT?!?! And better yet, how is it in the top 10? Okay, I know a lot of people like the movie, but come on! Anything with Keanu is automatically a disaster (Speed also made the list). Some of my personal favorite 90s movies didn’t make the list (Armageddon, Independence Day), but I’m not so blind to know that these aren’t actually good movies. However, the list left off Braveheart and Mrs. Doubtfire, movies that are good and are way better than Three Kings or Saving Private Ryan, in my opinion.
40. Speed
39. Pretty Woman
38. The Big Lebowski
37. Three Kings
36. Swingers
35. Philadelphia
34. Clueless
33. The Grifters
32. Rushmore
31. Out of Sight
30. The Fugitive
29. The Usual Suspects
28. Jerry Maguire
27. Boogie Nights
26. Dazed and Confused
25. Reservoir Dogs
24. There’s Something About Mary
23. The Lion King
22. Boyz n the Hood
21. Office Space
20. Unforgiven
19. Forrest Gump
18. Cinema Paradiso
17. American Beauty
16. Trainspotting
15. Saving Private Ryan
14. Terminator 2: Judgment Day
13. The Sixth Sense
12. Toy Story
11. Titanic
10. The Matrix
9. Hoop Dreams
8. Groundhog Day
7. The Shawshank Redemption
6. L.A. Confidential
5. The Silence of the Lambs
4. Schindler’s List
3. Fargo
2. Pulp Fiction
1. Goodfellas

If I had to make a top ten, with only the movies available in this list, mine would probably look like this:
1. American Beauty
2. Schindler’s List
3. Fargo
4. Forrest Gump
5. The Silence of the Lambs
6. The Lion King
7. Reservoir Dogs (I’ve only seen Pulp Fiction once, so Reservoir Dogs trumps it)
8. The Shawshank Redemption
9. Goodfellas
10. Clueless (It may not be a great movie, but it changed our culture and still resonates today)
