If anyone is looking for a decent year by year list of top grossing movies, here is one.
My list is still at about 40.

good site. Now I have to go back and redo my list. 
Posted on 9/2/10 at 10:26 am to Cdawg
I'm going to do my list first, then I'll go back and read what you bunch of movie gurus are saying. I don't want y'all influencing my picks.
I'm sure y'all are all waiting with baited breath (what the hell does that even mean)?

Here goes. I'm sure it will change.
1 Braveheart
2 Reservoir Dogs
3 Pulp Fiction
4 Shawshank Redemption
5 The Matrix (only the first one was in this decade)
6 The Fugitive
7 The Usual Suspects
8 Silence of the Lambs
9 King of New York (no, I don't mean that piece of crap "Gangs of New York")
10 True Romance
11 Se7en
12 Leon: The Professional
13 L.A. Confidential
14 Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels
15 Sling Blade
16 Babe
17 Fight Club
18 Tombstone
19 Dazed and Confused
20 Office Space
There are better movies than the last few, b ut I just wanted to mix it up with some comedies and popcorn.
I really think my next 20 (21-40) in the 90's may be better than my top 20 for the 2000's. Remove the top 5 from the 2000's and I would definitely say this.

10. Crash
I assume you are talking about the one with Spader, Arquette, and Hunter. A much better movie than the popular movie from the 2000's. It was one of my "also considered", but I haven't seen it in a while and just couldn't recall enough to place it in the top 20. There are a few I need to rewatch before voting closes (Crash, Barton Fink, Chaplin, Grifters, Miller's Crossing, and a few others I can't remember). Of course, with football season starting, I may not get around to it.

I thought that was an awesome year for movies also, but damn.

I know most of you would agree that Pulp Fiction is much more influential movie and has been probably the most imitated movie since it was released.
I am a huge QT fan and love Pulp Fiction. However, of all 90's movies, I would say The Matrix is the most imitated.
ETA: I think I'm finished hogging the thread for now.
That's what I get for getting in so late.This post was edited on 9/2/10 at 10:50 am

The voting for this is all over the place as expected.
Also Wikipedia is great for compiling a list. You can look at all movies released year by year.

hum, maybe, for some of the effects, fight scenes etc, but I'd still give the edge to PF in the imitated part. Never the less, Pulp Fiction is far more influential than the much more conventional Jackie Brown.

Well here goes my first shot at this...
1. My Cousin Vinny
2. Dumb and Dumber
3. The Lion King
4. Forrest Gump
5. The Sandlot
6. A Few Good Men
7. Happy Gilmore
8. Good Will Hunting
9. Toy Story
10. The Shawshank Redemption
11. Ace Ventura
12. Titanic
13. A League of Their Own
14. Se7en
15. Mr. Holland's Opus
16. A Perfect Murder
17. Scent of a Woman
18. Jerry Mcguire
19. What About Bob?
20. Jurassic Park
Others in no particular order: 5th Element, Face/Off, Boondock Saints, The Big Lebowski, Home Alone, Billy Madison, Beverly Hillbillies, Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead
Upon looking at these lists, I have realized that there are a ton of "classics" that I have never seen
eta: well shite

it's not in the official list if that helps, probably not I'm guessing
Posted on 9/2/10 at 11:25 am to AstroTiger
Nope. That movie was an absolute shitfest IMO. But that is, well, my opinion.

Pulp Fiction was really not like anything we had seen before.
not being a dick, but pulp fiction liberally borrows from other movie genre tropes frankensteined successfully into a collage of a movie. not a lot of it is original or novel. QT borrows a lot of stylistic elements from foreign, noir, pulp, and western movies. though he does it to devastatingly good effect in some cases.
the only movie that clearly takes from his style seems to be the boondock saints

QT is a huge movie fan and yes does use elements from other movies, Spaghetti Westerns,Hong Kong action flicks, martial arts movies etc, he walks that fine line between homage and rip off, (but lets be real, there is not much truly new under the sun).
Howevah, that hodgepodge was something new and unique to the mainstream American movie going audience in 1994 and certainly far more original and better than Jackie Brown.

Snatch, Lock Stock, Go, there are plenty.

first mention of this i think. suprised it hasnt gotten more love.
alot of people probably don't realize it came out in the 90s.

quote:Thanks, gentlemen. I was thinking about the Ace Ventura movies and the Toy Story movies.
I think if the sequels were all in the 90's then it is combined. But T2 for instance would stand by itself since Terminator was in the 80's.
What movies are you looking at?
ETA: And maybe, juuuuuuust maybe, the Problem Child, Ninja Turtles, and Die Hard movies.
