1. Kingpin (1996)
One of the best sports films of all time, it is filled with the grand mix of comedy and has one of the best endings for a comedy film.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 170  Average listal rating (111 ratings) 5.8  IMDB Rating 5.6 
2. Black Sheep (1996)
Another hilarious film with Farley and Spade. It will always be compared to 'Tommy Boy' but it's nearly as brilliant.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 980  Average listal rating (658 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 7.3 
3. Jerry Maguire (1996)
A very well-written, acted, directed, filmed movie. Cruise's best role and is well-supported with a great slate of newcomers
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 777  Average listal rating (522 ratings) 6.4  IMDB Rating 6.9 
4. Happy Gilmore (1996)
Nearly as good as it's inevitable comparison, 'Billy Madison'. Like 'Kingpin' it is a rare sports comedy.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 540  Average listal rating (350 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 6.6 
5. That Thing You Do! (1996)
One of the funnest movies to watch and one that most will enjoy.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 374  Average listal rating (255 ratings) 6  IMDB Rating 6.5 
6. Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996)
A perfect transfer to the big screen, let's hope they do more!
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1078  Average listal rating (722 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 7.2 
7. Scream (1996)
It's very early to say, but it could be my favorite slasher film of all time... and it's a movie about people who watch slasher films.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1906  Average listal rating (1377 ratings) 6.4  IMDB Rating 6.5 
8. Independence Day (1996)
This movie is so damn cool the first time seen in theaters; but some things are starting to bother me upon third viewing, hopefully it will hold up.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 573  Average listal rating (329 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating 7.2 
9. The English Patient (1996)
A beautiful epic that is original in nearly every way.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 856  Average listal rating (572 ratings) 5.2  IMDB Rating 5.8 
10. The Cable Guy (1996)
Carrey is worth $20 in his perfectly-played role that not enough people are appreciating. Broderick is just okay.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1015  Average listal rating (702 ratings) 7.8  IMDB Rating 8.3 
11. Fargo (1996)
The Coen brothers score again in this weird, smart, violent film set in the good old north.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1485  Average listal rating (1037 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 6.8 
12. Mission: Impossible (1996)
I've never seen the TV show; but the movie is damn good.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 910  Average listal rating (663 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating 7.2 
13. The Rock (1996)
Cage makes up for his over-lauded 'Leaving Las Vegas' role in this inventive and exciting thriller set around Alcatraz.

People who added this item 181  Average listal rating (115 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating 7.6 
14. Swingers (1996)
Vince Vaughn is something unique in this very chatty and seemingly ad-libbed movie about average guys trying to get play.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 469  Average listal rating (321 ratings) 6  IMDB Rating 6.6 
15. Ransom (1996)
Gibson is on fire, he always hits the mark and has done it again in his wrenching role as a father who has to might many tough decisions during his son's kidnapping tenure.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 637  Average listal rating (380 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 6.5

People who added this item 1514  Average listal rating (997 ratings) 8  IMDB Rating 8.2 
18. Trainspotting (1996)
A wildly unique movie that needs repeat viewings. McGreggor could be a great new talent.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1086  Average listal rating (756 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating
19. Twister (1996)
Like 'Independence Day', this movie is great the first time seen in theaters; but then the mistakes become glaring upon repeat viewings.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 413  Average listal rating (266 ratings) 5.7  IMDB Rating 6.3 
20. Phenomenon (1996)
A fun movie to watch with all the neat things a man with new powers can do; but very sad ending.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1279  Average listal rating (855 ratings) 6.7  IMDB Rating 6.9 
21. Romeo + Juliet (1996)
An awesome movie stylistically, and it could be so good that it gets younger people into The Bard.... maybe not quite.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 55  Average listal rating (26 ratings) 5.3  IMDB Rating 6.1 
22. City Hall (1996)

Sexy and devilishly good.

Not sexy and devilishly sad; but a great revenge story.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1402  Average listal rating (968 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating 6.3 
29. Mars Attacks! (1996)
Just a crazy/fun movie with a lot of aliens killing humans in a oddly large ensemble cast... did they know what they were getting into?
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 184  Average listal rating (95 ratings) 7.6  IMDB Rating 7.7 
30. Hamlet (1996)
Great stars kept popping up in cameos with this very cool version of 'Hamelt'... what are we on... 24, 25?

A low-budget whacky comedy with no expectations, I actually enjoyed it a second time, too.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 266  Average listal rating (177 ratings) 7.2  IMDB Rating 7.6 
33. Primal Fear (1996)
A very good twist and a very good start to what should be a promising career for Edward Norton.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 2  Average listal rating (1 ratings) 5  IMDB Rating 5.4 
34. American Buffalo (1996)
It's not actually about American Buffalos.

What the hell? I was confused after the transgender joke in the beginning.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 245  Average listal rating (162 ratings) 4.8  IMDB Rating 5.2 
36. Chain Reaction (1996)
Nothing too original in theme but the idea of extremely hot bubbles is kind of cool.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 880  Average listal rating (631 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating 7.1 
37. From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Could get better in time; but I am still trying to figure out how to describe this vampire, action, comedy, horror-type movie.

People who added this item 509  Average listal rating (316 ratings) 5.7  IMDB Rating 5.3 
38. Jack (1996)
A role clearly written for Robin Williams and it succeeds in entertaining in all the ways you'd want it to going in.
Stehako's rating:

39. Mulholland Falls (1996)

So can this dude, but no pianos, only golf.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 380  Average listal rating (248 ratings) 6.7  IMDB Rating 7.2 
42. The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996)
A fun satire on a man who is probably a hero to many perverts and 12-year-old boys everywhere.

People who added this item 42  Average listal rating (26 ratings) 5.8  IMDB Rating 6.3 
43. My Fellow Americans (1996)
A decent comedy that mixes political and geriatric humor well.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 69  Average listal rating (41 ratings) 5.4  IMDB Rating 5.9 
44. Extreme Measures (1996)
Nothing extreme about this movie, I think I yawned towards the end.

People who added this item 66  Average listal rating (40 ratings) 7.5  IMDB Rating 7.2 
45. Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996)

People who added this item 172  Average listal rating (110 ratings) 6.1  IMDB Rating 6.6 
46. Courage Under Fire (1996)
