Elite  2729     Puyallup, WA |  Subject: Quntisential 90's/early 00's movies...I'm not sure what my husband was doing but he seems to have missed out on quite a few movies. The straw came when he was not familiar with "DA BEARS" skits...I mean that was SNL during his 30's!! He said he was going to be early so that he could get up and ride on Sunday....I say "sigh".... What are "classics"? The movies a person couldn't miss? On the other hand - What "classic"/memorable movies have you missed? I didn't watch any of the Lord of the Ring - it reminded me of my brother reading them when we were kids...I'm not against seeing it, but it's a series that a lot of people have seen...I haven't. |

I would highly suggest giving LOTR a shot. At least the special additions with all the extra footage. As someone who read the entire series multiple times between 6th grade and now, I can say they did a good job of bringing the story arc into focus and completion. They had to leave some things out but the important things were done. Even if you have not read the books I would recommend them as great movies of themselves as well. I would add to that list, Titanic. (though I have never seen this movie myself, it never really appealed to me when it came out and I do not care that much to go back and watch a boat sink  ) |

Champion 7558 Albuquerque, New Mexico | Subject: RE: Quntisential 90's/early 00's movies... Not that your marvelous new husband needs any support from me, but I never watched much SNL. While a few skits were really good, most of the show didn't do much for me and I couldn't stay up for the *chance* to catch a gem. Not a 90's show, but I successfully avoided seeing ET (the movie) until either last year or the year before. |

AcesFull - 2011-01-20 9:04 AM The Princess Bride is mandatory, if only because it is the most quotable movie ever (in fact, even mentioning this movie risks an immediate 8-page explosion of PB quotes). Have fun storming the castle! |

Right along with "Snatch" and "Lock stock and two smoking barrels" If you added Fight Club to this list - I would forever be your biggest fan. (And for those in the Princess Bride camp - "never fight a land war in Asia") |

Master 4119 Toronto Bronze member | Subject: RE: Quntisential 90's/early 00's movies... As someone whose teen years were culminating in the late 90's/early '00 - i tend to go to the teen movies to think of the ones that are 'classic' at least to those in my demographic - American Pie being the main one - there were many more Ones that came slightly before me but my slightly older peers insist are awesome and i've seen multiple times - Singles - Reality Bites Those are the ones that pop into my head at the end of a workday - there are more but some really only mean something to me and my friends. |

Others I have seen: Goodfellas The Green Mile Braveheart A Bug's Life The 5th Element Jurasic Park Terminator (though to be fair it was only the 2nd and 3rd that qualify in the time frame) Independence Day The 6th Sense Home Alone 12 Monkeys The Rock Office Space Jerry Maguire Armageddon Meet Joe Black (only because of Claire Forlani) The Mummy Waterworld (say what you will, I liked it) Hunt for Red October Total Recall The Fugitive From Dusk 'til Dawn Legends of the Fall (yawn) Face Off Con Air Basic Instinct The Crow Pretty Woman The Sand Lot Sleepy Hollow The Last of the Mohicans Apollo 13 Contact Payback Wild Things Four Weddings and a Funeral Enemy of the State Three Kings Event Horizon (every one said this one was SO scary, I almost fell asleep) Stargate City of Angels Twister Falling Down Sleepless in Seattle Dante's Peak The 13th Warrior What Dreams May Come Thelma and Louise Rudy Species (yeah, maybe not so "iconic) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 8mm The Specialist Seven Years in Tebet Cool Runnings And the list goes on... |

| Master 1702 Southern Ontario | Subject: RE: Quntisential 90's/early 00's movies... I loved Scent of a Woman at the time - but I tried to watch it again not long ago and it just didn't stand the test of time... Princess Bride is essential. "I'm not a witch, I'm your wife! And after what you just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that any more!" LOVED Snatch. What about The Usual Suspects and Braveheart? I'm not a horror fan - but Silence of the Lambs was phenomenal. Oh - and Clerks. |

Tommy Boy would be another one possibly to add to the list if you were into the SNL crew, Chris Farley at his best |

| On your right | Subject: RE: Quntisential 90's/early 00's movies... I can't argue with too much on here, but I'd also add Chasing Amy, and if the Kevin Smith movies really do it for you, add Dogma and Mallrats. |
