even with all the bad ones its still an insanely stacked year. 94 and 95 are solid but dont come close. obv most 80s years will probably smoke most 90s years. but god damn anyways what are some other crazy ass movie years off the top of yall head! and please spare me that 1953 1947 1964 BULLSHIT youre not impressing anyone (you know who you are )

god damn lol

right?

Yo you not wrong holy

Look up 1999

a pretty good year!

We all thought we were gonna die after 1999 and it shows

Imagine being able to see Boogie Nights, Lost Highway, and Jackie Brown in the same year

They were spoiled lol

i was joking about how id be in absolute convulsions if i saw the titanic for the first time in cinema and that celine hit in the post credits

they prob had entire rows ugly bawling out there

Depressing to think about considering how dogshit this decade is for film

i just looked that up and god DAMN

1997 actually clears this whole decade combined

Crazy

f***ing easily lmaoooo

Thanks for the list, been putting my son onto movies from the 90s, I think it’s important to know the classics

he'll flip out when he finds out these are all from the same year
