Well, I'm of the opinion that 1996 wasn't a real great year. Fargo easily wins my vote. I gave Fargo a 10 and Shine a 9.
I haven't seen Dead Man, Hamlet, Hard Eight, Secrets & Lies, Breaking the Waves, Flirting with Disaster, or When We Were Kings. I'd also like to find a way to see Microcosmos.
Others of note for me were Cable Guy, P vs Larry Flynt, Scream, Bottle Rocket, Last Man Standing, Primal Fear, Swingers, and Guffman. Heck, Eraser or Happy Gilmore is probably in my top 10 for that year!
The movies that I saw and disliked the most were Diabolique, Chain Reaction, Spy Hard, Stealing Beauty, Isl of Dr. Moreau, and Joe's Apartment.

1. Trainspotting
2. Jerry Maguire
Fargo, in my humble opinion, is highly over-rated and easily one of my least favourite films of that year. That being said, I'm obviously in the minority on this one!

With a long dry spell, I figured I'd go ahead and add it up, and as you can easily tell, Fargo has run away with it with 14 Votes.
1) Fargo (14)
2) Jerry Maguire (5)
3) English Patient (3)
4) Breaking the Waves (2.5)
The 1995 Thread is now open.
