Title Actors Comments
Shakespeare In Love (1998) Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Fiennes (John Madden) I'd give it fourteen Oscars if I could.
Thin Red Line (1998) Nick Nolte, Sean Penn (Terrence Malick) A war movie that actually captured my attention.
Out Of Sight (1998) George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez (Steven Soderbergh) The chemistry makes Clooney and Lopez one of the most captivating on-screen couples in recent years.
Leaving Las Vegas (1995) Nicolas Cage, Elisabeth Shue An extremely disturbing movie.
Casablanca (1942) Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart One of the best.
Jackie Brown (1997) Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Samuel L. Jackson, Bridget Fonda, Robert De Niro, etc Another great Tarantino movie! The plot is unusually straight forward, but the characters and dialogue is outstanding.
White Heat (1949) James Cagney, Virginia Mayo Nice old movie. Contains the classic line "Look at me Ma! Top of the world!". And the quote that starts up Madonna's "White Heat"...
Contact (1997) Jodie Foster, James Woods Great movie.
L.A. Confidential (1997) Kevin Spacey, Kim Basinger The best movie of '97. Another film noir classic.
Face/Off (1997) Gina Gershon, John Travolta, Nicolas Cage Once you get past the absurd idea of Travolta and Cage changing faces, this movie is great.
Romeo is Bleeding (1994) Gary Oldman, Lena Olin, Annabella Sciorra, Juliette Lewis Great thriller - and you won't know where it'll end.
Pulp Fiction (1994) Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Quentin Tarantino, etc A classic.
Scream (1996) Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, Skeet Ulrich, Drew Barrymore, David Arquette I'm not a horror movie fan, but this one's fun.
Dangerous Liaisons (1988) Glenn Close, Michelle Pfeiffer, etc One of the movies with the most devilish characters I've seen.
Blade Runner (1982) Harrison Ford Probably the ultimate movie. Ever.
Basic Instinct (1992) Sharon Stone Sharon Stone and an icepick. That's twice lethal... Besides, I actually liked the movie.
Bound (1996) Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon One of the classsics.
The Usual Suspects (1994) Gabriel Byrne, Stephen Baldwin Despite the title, a very unusual movie.
Fargo (1995) William H. Macy, Frances McDormand, Peter Stormare Characters...
