Top 10 best movies 1994

Sort by: Showing 15 items

1. Clerks (1994)


Note : It is probably the movie I have most seen in my life (20 times ? 30 times ?). I saw it when it came out. I was 15 years old and I was struck by how it was simple and complex at the same time. A great movie.

2. Cemetery Man (1994)


Note : It is a really weird movie and I find it great. I have seen quite a few movies with Rupert Everett and it is his only great one. Nice story and direction. A real cult classic.

3. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)


Note : This movie is the stuff of legend. When it came out, almost nobody saw it. Gradually, it gained a cult status and is now considered by many as the best movie ever made. The best movie ever made? Not to me. One of the best ? Definitely ! In its genre, it is absolutely the number 1 (Forget "Prison Break"...). A great achievement.

4. Shallow Grave (1994)


Note : The first movie directed by Danny Boyle. One of the first starring Ewan McGregor. It mixes very different genres with success. I think it is very original and a great masterpiece.

5. Pulp Fiction (1994)


Note : Though not my favorite Tarantino movie (I think Reservoir Dogs is better), it is still a great movie. The story is very entertaining and the writin, directing and perfomances are just top-notch.

6. Hoop Dreams (1994)


Note : Amazing movie describing the harsh realities in America involving the life in the ghetto and what is at stake for the boys who get a shot at becoming a professional sportman.

7. Little Odessa (1994)


Note : The first movie directed by James Gray (We own the night) and actually is best one.

A great crime movie about Russian maffia in America (I make it sound like "Eastern Promises" but the plot is completely different).
It is about a hitman coming back to his childhood neighbourhood to complete a job. Very intense movie with great parts given by Edward Furlong and Tim Roth.

10. Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

Hmmm, again lots of stuff I've been meaning to see here! Especially 'Shallow Grave' and 'Once Were Warriors'.

Chungking Express is the only film by Kar Wai Wong that I haven't seen. Not sure how I keep avoiding/missing watching the film.

Amazing list. Cemetery man and Death and the Maiden OH YEAH.

and good pick on Little Odessa

One of the greatest movie years ever.
You're missing Leon and Natural Born Killers. Go see em' if you haven't. ;)
Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 7 9:53
According to me, Léon is one the most overrated movie ever made. Natural Born Killers is a good movie but not good enough to be on this list.

I'm curious to see this Cemetery Man since you say it's better than Shawshank and Pulp Fiction. Really glad to see Once Were Warriors there.
Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 8 5:34
"Dellamorte Dellamore" (Cemetery man) cannot really be compared to Shawshank or Pulp Fiction (both great pictures). I like "Dellamorte Dellamore" more because I think it is more original but it is a rather personal choice. Most people haven't seen it and the ones who has wouldn't probably say that it is better than Pulp Fiction or The Shawshank Redemption.

We definitely have lots in common for this year. Dellamorte Dellamore is easily one of my all-time favorite, original films.
