Season 2
Just saw the trailer for season 2. The movies are:
Forrest Gump
Jurassic Park
Pretty Woman
Back to the Future
This is a fine bunch, but I was wondering what other movies y'all think they could've done instead. How about Predator?
Pulp Fiction is a must. In fact, they could do Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Ed Wood, and Quiz Show.
They could do an entire episode just about 1999. Like 1939, it was a landmark year for cinema:
The Matrix
Office Space
Fight Club
Eyes Wide Shut
American Beauty
The Sixth Sense
Being John Malkovich
The Green Mile
Boys Don't Cry
Girl, Interrupted

Toy Story 1 & 2 definitely. The big Disney Renaissance films.
Scream and the glossy 90s teen slashers.
Edit: I somehow got this confused with CNN's The Movies. I still like the 1999 idea. They should definitely throw in some blockbusters and tentpoles.

Spider-Man
Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and/or the entire Dark Knight Trilogy
