For my money, it's Steve Buscemi:

Pulp Fiction
Fargo
Resevoir Dogs
The Big Lebowski
Miller's Crossing
Barton Fink
The Hudsucker Proxy
Desperado
The Wedding Singer
King of New York
Kansas City
Living in Oblivion
Tree's Lounge
In The Soup

Is there anyone you think can top that? Who is your pick for actor with the best filmography of the 90's?

I haven't seen most of these in a decade. Some great shit listed here so I am going to start netflixing and have a 1990's month in July.


PS. I want Romeo Is Bleeding on blu-ray so bad.

Ash Ketchum

I have a nostalgic attachment to the earliest wave of bootleg tapes of 1980s & '90s Hong Kong films in my collection. Most of them were made from laserdiscs by fan bootleggers. They're of varying quality but discovering them was so exciting. I've upgraded to DVD for a lot of them, but some never showed up on DVD in Chinatown stores so I missed out on them even though I could have got them from Play-Asia or Yes-Asia, but they seem to be out of print now. I recently watched MOON WARRIORS again, my VHS being the only copy I have of it. I have a shelf of them in my living room and was about to pack them up recently to put in a closet or in storage to make room for newer DVD purchases, but then I had a change of heart and put them back. I want to watch them again!

Of the films I listed in my post above, I've upgraded quite a few but there are at least 20 on that list that I still only have on VHS.

GoldenJCJ

Good call. I'll add Tommy Lee Jones; the dude was unstoppable in the 90s.


JFK
Under Siege
House of Cards
The Fugitive
Heaven and Earth
Blown Away
The Client
Natural Born Killers
Blue Sky
Cobb
Batman Forever
Volcano
Men in Black
US Marshals
Small Soldiers

A lot of those movies are very stoppable.

They weren't all gems but after The Fugitive you have to admit the guy seemed to pop up in everything.

Solid Snake

What are you poor?

OOP means shit if you got the money for it. And if you can find a reasonable price for yourself.

Ash Ketchum

Thank you, Solid Snake, I'll keep that in mind.

(Frankly, I think I upgraded all the ones I really wanted to upgrade. I don't need to go to all the trouble of finding OOP titles on eBay or whatever for the rest of them. VHS is fine for them. Not everything needs to be in pristine condition.)

joliom

Daniel Day-Lewis has had a stellar career, actually. He's never made a truly bad film, nor has he ever put in a weak performance. The worst film he's appeared in - in my opinion - is Gangs of New York and it was nominated for Best Picture (and him for Best Actor)! No other actor in history has as good a track record as that guy.

Mondo Kane

Always thought that was underrated. Then again, it came out in '94 (Still the greatest year for movies that I've experienced)


Maybe not the best, but I liked a lot of what Tom Sizemore did in the 90s:

Heat
Strange Days
Point Break
Devil in a Blue Dress
Passenger 57
Saving Private Ryan
Heart and Souls
Natural Born Killers
True Romance
Bringing Out The Dead

davidlynchfan

Yeah, Buscemi wins it for me, own the most movies out of his list and always a fun and interesting actor to watch. though I cant believe the op omitted Airheads.

UAIOE

I love Maggie.

This makes me want to open the HK vault and watch some movies. I actually need to make a point to watch my "City Hunter" Blu-Ray. It's awesome because of how stupidly crazy it is.
