Lets just relfect for a moment on the masterpiece that is the 1994 List of Movies. This, IMHO, is the greatest year ever in Cinema. If you told me I could only watch movies released in 1994 for the rest of my life, I'd die a happy and entertained man. For Example:

Top Ten grossing movies of 94:
- Lion King
- Forrest Gump
- True Lies
- The Mask
- Speed
- The Flintstones
- Dumb and Dumber
- Four Weddings and a Funeral
- Interview with the Vampire
- Clear and Present Danger

Spring saw the release of movies like Ace Ventura, The Getaway, Blue Chips, Reality Bites, The Chase, Guarding Tess, D2, PCU and With Honors

Summer you had The Crow, Maverick, The Cowboy Way, Renaissance Man, Wolf, Wyatt Earp, Little Big League, Angels in the Outfield, The Client, It Could Happen To You, Airheads, In the Army Now, Natural Born Killers, and Milk Money.

Fall you had Next Karate Kid, Quiz Show, Timecop, Terminal Velocity, The Scout, The Specialist, Little Giants, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, New Nightmare, Puppet Masters, and Stargate

Winter you had Frankenstein, The War, The Santa Clause, Miracle on 34th Street Remake, The Professional, Star Trek Generations, Disclosure, Nell, Legends of the Fall, Little Women, Nobody's Fool, and IQ.

I mean, if you told me I could only watch movies made in 94 for the rest of my life, I'd die a happy and well entertained man. Reading through this list made me realize just how many movies I own from this year. You've got a solid list of Drama, Action, Comedy and Romantic Comedy. Some great SciFi flicks too. Any of the Best Picture nominees from 94 are arguably good enough to beat any of the winners from the last ten years.

GOAT year, folks.

The 5 best picture nominees were: Forest Gump, Pulp fiction, 4 Weddings and a Funeral, Quiz Show and Shawshank. That's probably the best group nominees I can think of.

You also left off some good ones. Bullets over Broadway. Ed Wood, The Madness of King George, at least Red from the French 3 colors trilogy. The Paper

Only one movie in that top ten based upon a comic book.

I think 1984 was better, just going by the top 10 grossing.

1. Ghostbusters
2. Beverly Hills Cop
3. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
4. Gremlins
5. The Karate Kid
6. Police Academy
7. Footloose
8. The Terminator
9. Romancing the Stone
10. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock


It also had The Natural, Nightmare On Elm Street, Revenge Of he Nerds, Sixteen Candles, This Is Spinal Tap.

The Best Picture Winner I never saw - Amadeus.

1994 was the GOAT for music too.

I started a list of the albums but got tired.

It was awesome to be alive in 1994

Milk Money

Man, I haven't thought about that movie in forever.

And in that same vein, I'll throw out Blank Check from 1994 as well.

Fantastic year for movies, although it seems like your list declines in quality (for the most part) as the year progresses.

But you listed 57 movies in total I think, and I own more than half of them.

One of my good friends was in this one when we were kids. Small part, but it gets me every time I see him.

It seems like any year that ends in a 4 has epic movies that year. I agree with the people that said 1984, that was a fantastic movie year. Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Indiana Jones, The Terminator, The Karate Kid, etc.

1939 is widely considered the greatest year in cinema history.

Gone With the Wind
Wizard of Oz
mr Smith goes to Washington
Stagecoach

It was a famously deep year of quality film
