It’s 1994 for me.

Pulp Fiction
Shawshank Redemption
Forest Gump
The Lion King
Leon: The Professional
Hoop Dreams
Dumb and dumber
True Lies
Speed
The Crow
Interview With A Vampire
The Hudsucker Proxy

There are others, but those are the highlights I can think of

Streets of Fire

Underrated masterpiece with an all-star cast and soundtrack. It was supposed to be the first in a trilogy, but it didn't do well enough.
