Best Film of 1995

12 Monkeys
Braveheart
Casino
City of Lost Children
Get Shorty
Heat
Leaving Las Vegas
Se7en
The Usual Suspects
or Other...

here we go...my favorite year from the 1990's in cinema. It's a shame I actually wasn't old enough to watch these movies in theaters and had to wait until they were out on VHS...

Apologies to The Bridges of Madison County, Mallrats, Mighty Aphrodite, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Before Sunrise, Apollo 13, and Batman Forever.

While I liked Se7en, I liked Casino better. Casino gets my vote.

Braveheart was my favorite movie for years.

Now - I'd pick Heat from that list.

Damn, that was a great movie year.

1. Braveheart
2. Usual Suspects
3. 12 Monkeys
4. Se7en
5. Leaving Las Vegas

I liked Heat, but wasn't a huge fan. Perhaps I should give it another shot, I haven't seen it in a while.

Braveheart. Second best movie of the 90s, following Schindler's List.

Casino. I love The Usual Suspects and Se7en, but I have vivid memories of watching Casino in the theater with my father and I've loved the hell out of it ever since.

Off the list: In the Mouth of Madness, arguably Carpenter's last truly awesome film.

Great year in movies!

Heat is one of my favorite movies of all-time. I found with most of my friends, either they really love it or don't like it at all.

Braveheart is another great movie with a great score. Apollo 13 is another one of my favs as this IS Ron Howards best movie. Seven and Usual Suspects are also great movies too.

Although I am big Marty fan, Casino is too long a movie, as the whole Sharon Stone subplot just goes on and on at the end. Leaving LasVegas, UGGH!!!! Couldn't get through, but gutted it out just because he got rave reviews, but I just don't get why people think this is a great movie.

In the Mouth of Madness is one of my favorite horror films. I remember the first time I rented the VHS for it, I watched the film, immediately rewound it and watched it again.

From the list, Casino.

After that, they're all great.

For me a mediocre year, but I guess The Usual Suspects is the one I enjoyed the most.
