Well, I thought Doberman was pretty cool. I recently saw Takishi Miike's Audition a few weeks ago which was really disturbing, quite an amazing piece of cinema. I would have also said Amores Perros but that was made in 2000 right? That was a great film.  | |

In random order:
1. Pulp fiction (I think this is one of the most influential movies in the 90s) 2. Fight club (Edward Norton and Brad Pitt together in one movie which is directed by David Fincher...wow) 3. Good fellas (best maffia film ever) 4. The big Labowski (the dude!) 5. Sleepers (very dramatic) 6. The Shawshank redemption (I just love prison movies) 7. Lock stock and two smoking barrels (best Tarantino copy ever) 8. Se7en (fuck silence of the lams) 9. Mulholland Drive (what was that about?) 10. Dumb and dumber (Jim Carrey rulez!) | |

I find myself watching these movies over and over Almost Famous Vanilla Sky Starship Troopers was sooo bad it was funny! Doogie Howser dressed as a Nazi, doing a Vulcan mind-meld on a giant bug? Monstrous insects that shoot at asteroids...with their asses??? 
Almost Famous and Vanilla Sky were not from the 90s. _____ [This message was edited Wed Dec 24 7:01:41 PST 2003 by JediMaster]

holymoses54 said: scififilmnerd said: How come no one's listing Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace ?
I mean, come on - the pod race was very good and the light saber duel with Darth Maul was awesome! 
[This message was edited Wed Dec 17 8:41:47 PST 2003 by scififilmnerd] I am no Sci Fi Buff ...but...what the...Phantom Menace realy sucked big time...and Clones was even worse... As for Sci Fi ...I like Blade Runner , 2001 Space Odysee , Dune , Solarys (the original...) and Total Recall... Well, I must disagree that Clones was worse than Phantom. Clones had some bad acting, but was otherwise pretty fun. Phantom Menace was majorly dissapointing, especially after waiting for so long, but I don't think its quite as bad as many people think. I think its just mediocre, which in some ways is even worse, because its not bad enough to mock. I agree with all your choices for sci-fi, with the exception of Total Recall, which is bloody awful! Ah-nold butchering the plot of Phillip K Dick? No thank you.

OK...here is my ranking of my favorite Sci Fi... 1 - Blade Runner (1982) 2 - 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 3 - Alien (1979) 4 - Solyaris (1972) 5 - Dune (1984) Total Recall was OK...i am not saying it was genius ... | |

scififilmnerd said: Naah, it just means that european movies never has as high a budget as its american counterparts. That makes it harder for a director to do truly spectacular stuff, and so european movies are mostly dramas. But Hardware - which is British, by the way - turned out rather spectacular despite a visibly low budget. Nikita is fairly low-budget. You gotta give props to the directors in question for turning out a product that looks a LOT more expensive than it was. So dramas are by definition not as good? In my book, there are thousands of "spectacular" dramas. I definitely prefer dramas over SFX spectacles. If you prefer sci-fi, that´s fine, but it´s kind of amusing the way you seem to take for granted that drama = bad. Pitch Black is American. Isn't it?
No. There were some Americans working on it, but it´s an Australian movie. | |

No, I did not say dramas are bad, only that they are what european directors can afford to make. Personally, I have many a favorite dramatic movie, but they're mostly from the 80'ies. Like My Beautiful Laundrette and Apartment Zero. And there are dramas on my 90'ies list too, if you look real close.   FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!
