The 100 Greatest movies of the 1990s #56. The Lion King (16 Viewers)

[El Floppo]

The Hurricane wasn't anything special. Just a solid one time watch movie

the movie itself, from what I remember... yeah. solid. and yeah, I also only watched it once (and no desire to rewatch).

That said- Denzel's performance was something special, so that's the takeaway for me. and worthy of inclusion here, IMO.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I've never seen Hurricane. Been meaning to, just never got around to it. Wonder how I could find this one. Red Box? Library?

You should definitely look for a Red Box. Report back when you've found one.

There's one by Rite Aid on Walker and Cedar Hills. About the only thing left at Rite Aid.

It's an artifact. They're not in business anymore.

Neither is Rite Aid, soon. They filed for bankruptcy again and intend to sell off their assets.

67. Scream (1996)

Directed by: Wes Craven

appropriately ranked, nice job

 

[TripItUp]

65. The Hurricane (1999)

Directed by: Norman Jewison

Starring: Denzel Washington, John Hannah, Liev Schrieber

Always, felt a little overrated to me....maybe cracks my top 100 but not likely.

 

[TripItUp]

68. The Witches (1990)

Directed by: Nicolas Roeg

Starring: Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling

Synopsis: A boy and his grandmother discover a witches’ convention and evil plot.

wow, never heard of it.

 

[TripItUp]

66. Aladdin (1992)

Directed by: Ron Clements

Starring the voices of: Robin Williams, Scott Weinger, Linda Larkin

Aladdin over Mohicans and Seven...difficult to imagine but here we are.

 

[Gally]

67. Scream (1996)

Directed by: Wes Craven

appropriately ranked, nice job

wrong based on what it did in bringing back the genre and how unique and great it was.

 

[TripItUp]

wrong based on what it did in bringing back the genre and how unique and great it was.

yeah, my rankings are much more based on entertainment value and rewatchability...don't really care about bringing back the genre...uniqueness I agree with but this is a stacked decade.

Seems appropriately ranked for me. I'm sure Timmy will have several undeserving ranked higher...we'll see.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

65. The Hurricane (1999)

I've either never heard of it or I've forgotten all about it. I'm reading the wiki page (about Rubin Carter) I may or may not watch this.

 

[timschochet]

64. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert (1994)

Directed by: Stephen Elliott

Starring: Terrance Stamp, Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce

Synopsis: Two drag queens and a transgender woman travel across the Australian Outback.

These days gentlemen are an endangered species- Terrence Stamp as Bernadette

Hilarious road trip film featuring superb acting by two up and coming stars (Weaving and Pearce) and of course the incredible Terrence Stamp. None of these three are gay in real life but they are incredibly believable here and extremely funny. But the real feature is Stamp who somehow manages to imbue a sense of menace, along with the boredom of a middle aged crisis of life, into what had to be the most unique role of his long career.

It was definitely better than “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything. Julie Newmar”.

I'm not as high on Seven as you.
Sure the ending is great but the unbelievability of one guy (Spacey) doing the rest of that stuff seemed way over the top.

65. The Hurricane (1999)

Directed by: Norman Jewison

Starring: Denzel Washington, John Hannah, Liev Schrieber

Synopsis: Boxer Rubin “The Hurricane” Carter appeals his murder conviction.

Hate put me in prison. Love’s gonna bust me out. - Denzel Washington as Rubin Carter


This is a very absorbing crime and legal drama. According to what I have read the writers took some liberties with the actual truth (and the family of the murder victim, who believe to this day that Carter was in fact guilty, was extremely angry at this film and complained bitterly) but that has no effect on its entertainment value. It’s well acted, especially, as always, by Washington. As the song says, he could have been champion of the world…

You can save a lot of time and just get the story from the Dylan song:

Hurricane

Dylan singing the song was briefly in the movie.

Of course there’s another ‘90s movie that has a famous scene with the song - expect it to be way, way up there in the countdown.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

this is a very unique list

[Pip's Invitation]

Tim’s lists would get more muted reactions if he titled them as “My top…” instead of “The greatest…”

Doing it the way he does is straight out of ESPN’s playbook

Yet another I only saw the one time in the theaters. Something about a lot of these 90s movies

63. The Rainmaker (1997)

Directed by: Francis Ford Coppola

Starring: Matt Damon, Danny DeVito, Claire Danes, Jon Voight

Synopsis: An unemployed rookie lawyer takes on a large insurance corporation.

What’s the difference between a lawyer and a hooker? A hooker will stop screwing you after you’re dead. - Matt Damon as Rudy Baylor

This is the second of the two John Grisham movies on the list, and it’s his best film (I think it might be his best novel as well.) Superb acting all around by an all star cast and a terrific courtroom drama.

Synopsis: An unemployed rookie lawyer takes on a large insurance corporation.

This is the second of the two John Grisham movies on the list, and it’s his best film (I think it might be his best novel as well.) Superb acting all around by an all star cast and a terrific courtroom drama.

I liked the Rainmaker and enjoyed all of the Grisham book-to-movie catalogue.

But it is in no universe a better movie than Se7en. Like none.

This is like bizarro world stuff. I feel like I'm being trolled or on Punk'd or something.

Tim's ratings and opinions are one thing, but this repeated after every subsequent movie listed gets really tiring.

I agree with Pip's that Tim does himself a disservice by titling the thread "greatest" movies. I think it's clear he is doing a personal list of his favorite movies and in that context I could 100% understand people not liking or wanting to rewatch Se7en, no matter my thoughts on it.

It’s not a disservice. And I very much disagree that Se7en is a better film than The Rainmaker for several reasons. I could offer them all but it’s easier for me to make the point that, for all the interesting aspects of Se7en, The Rainmaker (along with all the other films I ranked above Se7en) are simply more entertaining to watch. In my judgment this factor overrides all others.

Now “greatest” is certainly a subjective term but the reason that I use it is exactly to achieve the sort of debate and discussion that threads like this create. If I simply made a list of my favorite films of the 90s (which honestly might be a very different list) it wouldn’t receive the same response. And @Jayrod is wrong; this isn’t any form of trolling. Yes I think The Rainmaker is a better film than Se7en. He is free to disagree.

To each their own, and we just probably use the term greatest differently. If I use greatest - things like direction, acting, cultural impact, etc.. get moved to the top of the importance. Those are that we could actually quantify to a point. "entertaining" is purely subjective to the ranker, and I still don't know what you guys mean sometimes when you say that. But again, at least you are doing lists and defending them - I give you props for that.

I'll plug it again, but Grisham's book about a 3rd string NFL QB who gets run out of Cleveland and plays semi-pro ball in Italy is perhaps my favorite Grisham book. It's a complete departure from his courtroom/lawyer works and full of action, touring Italy and best of all - EATING! "Playing for Pizza". You can read it in a week. I hope this gets made into a movie. It's fantastic.

I'll shut up now.

Me too. I think all of them are fun and entertaining movies. I think they get crapped on because they didn't follow the books to a T (especially the Firm) but if you separate them the books and just treat them as movies they are all pretty entertaining.

I was on a Grisham kick for a year or two when all these movies started coming out. Most of the movies came out before I read the book so I didn't watch the movies with anything to compare them to, however The Client was the opposite. i read the book first and then watched the movie. For the first half of the movie I kept comparing the two and thinking about all the differences and it definitely took away from the movie enjoyment. I then decided to just treat it like its own thing and it was much more enjoyable.

Directed by: Mike Judge

Starring: Ron Livingston, Jennifer Anniston, Gary Cole, David Herman

Synopsis: Workers in a software company feel trapped in their jobs.

No way, why should I change MY name? He’s the one who sucks! - David Herman as Michael Bolton

A very funny film and at the same time, for anyone who’s worked in a large office, all too real and depressing. Ron Livingston seems to have been born for this role; he’s played basically the same character several times. I’ve always been fascinated by the stealing pennies subplot; would that really work?

I have seen this movie a ton and have basically memorized it. So yeah, I would have this higher. What that means for its “greatness” scale, I have no idea.
