Great 1990s Films You May Have Missed

Sort by: Showing 20 items

Decade: Rating: List Type:

7.6

My Father's Glory (1990)

First part of a wonderful double feature (the other part is "My Mother's Castle") adaptation of two of Marcel Pagnol's novels.

Goofoff's rating:

6.4

A Rage in Harlem

Goofoff's rating:

8.3

7.2

A Woman's Tale (1991)

Sheila Florance (who was dying of cancer as the film was shot) stars in Paul Cox's moving story a woman dying of cancer. Not as morbid as it sounds.

Goofoff's rating:

6.6

6.9

The Adventures of Sebastian Cole (1998)

Goofoff's rating:

6.3

The Hours and Times

Intriguing alternative Beatles history from a GLTB point of view.

(Why does Safari think I misspelled "Beatles"?)

Goofoff's rating:

7.6

My Mother's Castle (1990)

Goofoff's rating:

6.9

7.4

The Nasty Girl (1990)

Much better than Schindler's List - since the Nazis should be mocked, rather than taken seriously.

Goofoff's rating:

Cabeza de Vaca (1991)

Goofoff's rating:

6.7

7.2

Flirting (1991)

Funny how the Aussies make great 'coming of age' films (see "Walkabout," "The Year My Voice Broke," etc.).

Goofoff's rating:

7.5

7.6

Delicatessen (1991)

Great dark comedy from the makers of "Amelie" and "City of Lost Children."

Goofoff's rating:

110

7.6

Toto the Hero (1991)

Goofoff's rating:

7.7

7.5

The Stolen Children (1992)

Maybe the best movie of the 1990s. Why isn't Amelio better known?

Goofoff's rating:

7.6

7.4

Raining Stones (1993)

Ken Loach's story of a working-class English father dedicated to buying a first communion dress for his father may be more relevant today than back in the early 1990s. Intense, emotional film about those most affected by 'austerity.'

Goofoff's rating:

Three Kings (1999)

Goofoff's rating:

110

6.8

Cradle Will Rock (2000)

Goofoff's rating:

Ok, not all of them quite "great," but still all of them are worth seeing and don't get their propers today. List heavy on the mid-1990s - only 'cause I saw a lot more movies then.
