Films in 1990

General


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?



-Removed-
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.


So tired of the ageist BS 🙄

Yes indeed. Much more disconcerting that standard horror fare.

Then you haven't seen the animated series The Clone Wars, nor The Mandelorian, I take it?

I understand your review of the prequel and sequel trilogies, but I must remind you that they are NOT "the entire Star Wars core additive catalogue".

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

I did a final paper in Edward Scissorshands for a Film Studies Uni course a few years back...it’s solid cinematography.

Misery is real storytelling...

The rest are guilty pleasures 😁

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