Films in 1990

Thirty years ago. Was 1990 a standout year for good films, towering above 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1991, 1992, 1993?

Was 1990 better than 2020?

“Ghost” hasn’t stood up well to the scrutiny of time.

I must give “Dances with Wolves” another airing though.

So tired of the ageist BS 🙄

Good Fellas
The Hunt for Red October
The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover
Total Recall
Jacob's Ladder
The Godfather Part III

...I think were good.

If found Jacobs Ladder quite disturbing first time around, excellent movie.

Yes indeed. Much more disconcerting that standard horror fare.

Mermaids
Misery
Edward Scissorshands
Total Recall
Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead

and my personal favourite, no matter what anyone says...

Quigley Down Under

I know this is not your cup of tea, but it is on topic...

I finally got around to watching The Rise of Skywalker last week, most disappointing. In fact I’d say the entire Star Wars core additive catalogue has been disappointing, except for Rogue One which was excellent.

Impossible to overlook. And yet, overlook them I did!

Nothing special about 1990 for me though upon looking 1989 to 1997 was when the most sequels and prequels came out.

I watched many good films during the 90's but in 1990 I recall:

Green Card
Hamlet
Fantasia
Awakenings
