Which movie of the 90s has aged the best?


So in terms of story telling, dialogue, special effects, etc. Which one looks the least dated by 2020 standards?

reply

Reservoir Dogs still kicks ass

Terminator 2

YES!

reply

Besides the dated mall scene, the arcade, the boxy computers on the desks and the older cars, yes, it does present well.

reply

HOW CAN THOSE THINGS BE DATED WHEN THE FILM IS SET DURING THAT DATE?

The Matrix

reply

I really do miss the old school video stores.

reply

A REAL FUCKING SHAME...THERE IS NOTHING LIKE PERUSING THE SHELVES,SCANNING THE COVERS,READING THE BACKS...FINDING GEMS AND TURDS... A GREAT GREAT LOSS TO HUMANITY.

reply

SO much... Used to live near an insane vid store that had everything ever, and was run by true wizards of movie knowledge. Used to hit it up all the time. Got a young cape started on obscure flix big time. Then in college, lived directly ABOVE a downtown video store. In and outta there all day every day. Rippin times!

reply

BORN IN 81.THE VIDEO STORE AND I WERE ONE...I ALWAYS ASSUMED I WOULD WORK AND OR HAVE MY OWN ONE DAY...I KINDA DO,BUT A PAYCHECK WOULD BE COOL.

reply

Thought about opening your garage for business? What’s your store called again?

reply

AS NAMED WHEN I WAS 16...CROSSBONES VIDEO...LATELY THOUGH IVE BEEN CALLING IT COOL HAND VIDEO.

reply

Oh yeah, man ya gotta! I can just imagine what that would look like. Could really lean into the skull n bones aesthetic.

Hey Kman are you the videostore vandal btw?

reply

HE DIED,BUT I ATE HIM...SO WE ARE NOW ONE.

reply

A-HA!

How did I know...

reply

A mom and pop video store got me into all the obscure stuff at an early age too. Sounds like a dream living above one!!

reply

The moms n pops are heroes of legend!

It was indeed dreamy times in many ways. Living in the middle of a city downtown with your friends/bandmates, constantly stoned, hanging out at the vid store and pastry shop below, band practice all hours, projecting wackadoodle movies on the roof... Insane times.

reply

Such a good feeling looking back on certain times that feel like magic.

reply

How did anyone not pick "Titanic"?

reply

The CGI looks dated now.

reply

The Shawshank Redemption. Pretty sure it has no special effects. But period films are kind of cheating.
