Best films of 1990's

[Minstrel]

Rushmore is one of those movies I've been meaning to see forever. Given that you liked Dark City (almost nobody I know besides me puts it on a "Best of the 90's" list) I'm going to go and buy it.

Yeah, I'm surprised how few people talk up Dark City. I thought it was absolutely spectacular film-making. A thriller you could just enjoy for entertainment value, and yet it also gave you something to think about and talk about with others afterward. Plus, it was just so stylish in look.

Rushmore is a pretty different movie from that, though. I personally think Wes Anderson makes the best comedies, but he's polarizing. If you enjoy Rushmore, I'd suggest his others, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou and Darjeeling Limited. I actually consider The Royal Tenenbaums the greatest movie ever, but it didn't fall under '90s.

Tenenbaums was a fantastic film. I thought the Darjeeling Limited was basically a worse version of the same film, on an Indian train. I think there's a great film to be made in that setting (not Slumdog Millionaire, which was pretty overrated) but Darjeeling wasn't it.

What About Bob? is a lot like Groundhog Day to me...it doesn't seem like "high art," yet I can enjoy watching it pretty much whenever I happen to come across it.

Which is why I pretty much reject the idea of "high art" as an important concept. It's either enjoyable or not, really.

Bill Murray is a comic genius, which usually leads to "high entertainment".

From what I've heard, Stripes is the origin of the term, "BOOM-Shaka-Laka!!"
