• As the movies communities are either dead or seems to be enjoying down voting these kinda wuestions to hell and this question is well in the limits with this community .
  • Recommend movies that have a very good plot with no plotholes (this is very important for me as a movie watcher) , doesn’t feel too dated ,has solid 3 dimensional character and arc , good direction and good acting ?
  • Some of mine are
  • Donnie darko
  • American psycho
  • Fight club
  • Taxi driver
  • Seven
  • The prestige
  • Panic room
  • Zodiac
  • So share your favourites and please no comedy,romance or jumpscare horrors. You can use my list to kinda get an idea of the specific type of movies i am asking for here . And also if you can give a short spoiler free TLDR and attach a trailer that would ve appreciated . Thanks in advance.

        Season 1 of Fargo and the actual movie Fargo are two different stories. You should totally watch the rest of the seasons and the movie itself.

    The Fifth Element was already mentioned, but it’s my go-to 90’s flick. Second up, Demolition Man.

    A couple of my favorites that haven’t been mentioned yet:

    • A Few Good Men - legal drama that explores the idea of “just following orders” in the military

    • Shawshank Redemption - one of the best movies ever, just go watch it already

    Edit: You might also enjoy Equilibrium - dystopian film about a future where extreme emotions are outlawed in an effort to prevent crime. Bonus fun action scenes involving gun katas.

    Titan A.E. - The last great Don Bluth animated film that sank Fox Animation at the box office is still an incredible hidden gem from 2000.

    1990 to 2010 is 20 years. In film terms, that’s a massive age! That gets you from Back to the Future Part 3, Batman Returns, Jurassic Park, Tremors and The Hunt for Red October through things like GoldenEye (in fact, the entire Brosnan Bond era!) the entire Star Wars prequel trilogy, Leon, The Fifth Element, The Matrix, Swordfish, The Bourne Identity reinventing the action genre, Blade, Fantastic Four, Batman Begins, Iron Man all the way up to Salt, RED and The Expendables. Jesus, a quick Google reminds me that Inception was 2010.

    Christ, I feel old now.

    Start with animation for fun. Watch Grave of the Fireflies.

    Now you are ready for Spirited Away or, my favorite, Porco Rosso. It’s not the best. It’s just my favorite.

    Now Schindler’s List. Then The Usual Suspects.

    Pair Treasure Planet with Muppets Treasure Island. You deserve the break.

    Maybe do The Matrix next. Pair with IP Man I guess.

    Seriously half of the IMDB top 100 movies are from this time range. They aren’t all going to fit you. They don’t fit me. But they are worth watching for what they bring.

    MOON was fantastic. One man with a robot is waiting for his replacement after a long stint monitoring a moon base alone. He’s been building a scale model of his hometown to pass the time. But as his replacement starts to become overdue, a problem at an outlying station causes him to leave the station… and come back to a scene he do didn’t expect.

    Sci-fi psych thriller, only two actors. Very dark.

    You seem to like David Fincher a lot. It’s a shame that ‘Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is 2011, I suppose.

    This kind of thing is something that algorithms are better at than people - the resources are there, so you may as well use them.

    Anyway, a well-regarded but often forgotten (by me at least) recommendation: Dead Man’s Shoes (2004). (don’t Google it beforehand though). Trailer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hChf0hmh0fM

      I have seen the girl with the dragon tattoo and i gotta say its one of the few movies to leave me sad and on the verge of tears. And i don’t have an algorithm as i use a newpipe fork called pipepipe. Also i do love david fincher the most of the great films i have seen from that era seems to be his.

        By algorithms, I just meant Google or AI: mostly rubbish of course, but shit-hot at answering ‘Best 90s films’ type questions.

        I suspect you get downvotes a lot 'cos no-one wants to do the drudge work that tech can actually handle.
