It was difficult to decide to include the shitty movies... Something I might have thought sucked would be another man's favorite... Like "The Sandlot."

So I Married an Axe Murderer


Now this is something the other tour guides won't tell you. In this particular cell-block, Machine Gun Kelly had what we call in the prison system, a "bitch". And one night in a jealous rage Kelly took a make-shift knife or "shiv", and cut out the bitch's eyes. And as if this wasn't enough retribution for Kelly, the next day he and four other inmates took turns pissing into the bitch's ocular cavities.

This way to the cafeteria!

Forrest Gump
Lion King
Dumb and Dumber
Legends of the Fall
The Professional
Quiz Show
Blue Chips
Reality Bites
PCU
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
Natural Born Killers
The Crow
The Santa Clause
Little Big League
The Mask
Naked Gun 33 1/3
Blown Away

If I could only pick one year of film to watch for the rest of my life it would easily be 94.

Great dramas, comedies, action, sci-fi. It really had it all.

Amazing year for film.

Yeah I love 93 too, but 94 has always had a special place for me. I was into a point in high school where I could fully appreciate dramas like Shawshank, Gump, Legends of the Fall, and movies like Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, and Professional just blew me away and changed the way I viewed film.

And of course there was still great lighter fare like Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, Speed, and True Lies.


I've often stated the case for 94, but not gonna lie, I sometimes try to sneak in some 93 flicks like Dazed and Confused, True Romance, The Program, Rudy, Groundhog Day, and Jurassic Park to strengthen my argument to less knowledgeable cinephiles
