Favorite 90’s Movies

Gonna rewatch Shawshank Redemption tonight. Stephen King is one of my favorite fiction authors

Re: the obvious ones

Although I love ResDoggies, I never liked Pulp Fiction... One of those universally loved movies I just can't get into. My friend and I watched it last weekend, and I realized it's the Bruce Willis sequence that throws me off. The infantilized love interest, two coincidences happening in a row to get them to that basement, the attention grabbing ball hog-ness of that basement scene. I think if the Bruce Willis sequence wasn't in the movie, and the movie became one about a day or two in the life of mid level mob dude, Vincent Vega, I'd freaking love it. He hangs out with Jules during an eventful day, and then he goes on a chaperone date with Mia Wallace either that evening or the evening after (can't remember which one it is, but I think it's the latter). Bruce's sequence ain't for me, it is what it is.

Also, separate from that, I love Milos Forman's The Man on the Moon. The Netflix documentary, Jim & Andy, about the making of it is also a must watch for fans of the movie.

The Coen Bros had such an insane run in the late 90s, early 00s. Fargo, Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Tho, The Man Who Wasn't There. I mean, those are four masterpieces in a row. The last one is often overlooked, but it's VERY good. Highly, highly recommended.

Also, Barton Fink is hella dope, it's my jam.
