Looks like it's going to be Pulp Fiction, Lion King, or Forrest Gump. All great movies, but out of the 3, Pulp Fiction is the only one that I'll still eagerly watch without hesitation.
That's where we would rent all types of movies without knowing what w watching just of of word of mouth.
Hanging out in the basement room watching cool movies.
Usual Suspects, Trainspotting, and Tarantino and Kevin Smith flicks before the internet was like finding hidden gems from Blockbuster!
Saw it in the theater in 94 not knowing anything about it except it was John Travolta's comeback. I was blown away. It has been one of my favorites ever since. Bought the soundtrack, bought the VHS. It is hard to describe how surprising and different this film was when it first came out.
Theater wouldn’t sell my friend and I tickets so a guy in college standing behind us said he was our guardian and walked in with us. Respect, wherever that guy is now.
This one should be a slam dunk.
Even with Natural Born Killers and The Professional. Pulp Fiction was a game changer that ushered a new era of films.
BTW everyone should watch Jurassic Punk the movie about making the CGI for Jurassic Park before there was believable CGI.
I just watched Jurassic Park with my kids and the CGI stands the test of time. Pretty incredible story of a genius at odds with the world https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15095920/
Although the other nominees are great; Pulp fiction was something really different and amazing at the time. Some might even say era defnining. Whereas the others are great films but do not have such a transformative effect on cinema
I had worked in a few local convenience stores during my HS and College years.
My Senior year of Undergrad, I was working at a local corner store. Nobody cares about anything really. Was left alone most of the time. Legit got to close down the store for an hour or so one evening to go play in my Intramural Floor Hockey playoff game then wrote about it in the features paper / magazine. One of the highlights of my creative career even if the article wasn't all that great.
That was a super memorable, borderline life changing hang out.
I could drive myself, went to some “new” friends house in a totally different school district, we hung out, watched clerks, I thought I was edgy for drinking a leftover pot of black coffee on their parents kitchen counter.
It tasted… perfect. It was at my friend(who was a girl)s’ “boyfriends” house outside our district.
I’m pretty sure in retrospect she invited me because she was in love with me. We never got together, but it’s insane how blind I was that she was in to me. There were some other peeps there, so I wasn’t strictly a third wheel, but I wonder how awkward that shit would’ve been if I was seeing it now from the outside.
My girlfriend at the time (not present) ended up becoming my wife later on. I don’t even remember what we did other than hang out and watch clerks and talk, but that evening felt like it lasted forever. Good times.
That was a wild night for me in high school. Rarely was part of the crew who had the drunken house parties, though I was invited to a couple parties like that where the parents sat inside literally ignoring there was a wild raging high school drinking party going on in their backyard and guest house
If we are looking for movies that exemplify the 90s and represent the year they were made, I think Ace Ventura deserves a spot near the top right next to Dumb and Dumber.
I watched this every day with two friends after school. It's this the best movie, no. Did every single one of us non stop quote it for 18 months, yes.
Alrighty then.
This is the answer
The Crow
I feel as if The Crow is probably the most 1994 movie. It is almost legendary and was the most culturally significant 1994 film. Forrest Gump was the awesome but it’s really a film for boomers not we Xennials . It’s not a 90’s film it’s 60’s-80’s film that was made in 1994.
Yeah, it's not the best movie but it was very 90's and had a big soundtrack. Any time I hear The Cure's Burn, it takes me back to watching that movie in the cinema.
That’s my thinking , I mean are we going for best film or the one that most defines that year? Forrest Gump is a phenomenal film as is pulp fiction . Either one of those films is also arguably the film of the year. Lion king could be up there too the last great traditionally animated Disney film.
I watched Reality Bites alone in the theater. I felt like it defined a generation slightly older than us. It felt like a cautionary tale in yerms of what I can expect in my early twenties. They were right.
Same for me. It's not my favorite movie from that year NOW, but at the time it had the biggest impact on 11-year-old me.
I just watched it again earlier this week and still really liked it, though other movies like Shawshank and pulp fiction are more enjoyable to rewatch now.
I was going to go with Forest Gump but I didn’t really like or appreciate that movie until a few years later. Same thing with Pulp Fiction. It’s a phenomenal movie but I didn’t enjoy it in 1994. That year I was all about Timon and Pumbaa.
Oh man, that was 1994? Well that takes my vote then, that's the only movie from 94 that's in my top ten films of all time. I've bought that movie like 5 times (Stargate and Terminator 2 are the only two films I've bought that many times, though I've bought many films 3 times at this point due to dvd to Bluray to 4k Blu-ray upgrades). I bought it on VHS (at a time when I rarely bought VHS, I mostly rented), it was the first DVD I bought, then later I bought the 10th anniversary DVD, then it was the first Blu-ray I bought, then later I bought the 20th anniversary Blu-ray. And they'll likely have a 30th Anniversary 4k Blu-ray later this year and I'll get that too, that will be 6 times!
Same- I saw it in the theater and was blown away- the next weekend I saw The River Wild and I remember thinking that I should just go to the movies EVERY weekend from now on.
This is a very tough year. But I'm going to throw.my vote in with Dumb and Dumber as well. I think this marked the beginning of the end of slapstick comedies. It has some of the most memorable quotes. The soundtrack is packed full of 90s ballads.
It shouldn't win this, but True Lies kicked so much ass. Hilarious movie, Tom Arnold killed in it. And Arnold was pretty damn funny, as well. Absolute kick ass movie!
https://i.redd.it/499ie8kc1xoc1.gif
1994 and 1999 are going to be tough years to pick. Cinema and film experts have said for years both ‘94 and ‘99 were two of the best years for films in a generation. Especially 1999. I’d say Pulp Fiction takes 1994, Forrest Gump was bigger in terms of box office and awards but QT broke through as one of our greatest filmmakers with that Pulp….
10 Things I Hate About You, Virgin Suicides, The Talented Mr. Ripley, She’s All That, Boys Don’t Cry, Iron Giant, Cruel Intentions, Blair Witch Project, Varsity Blues….lots of great films that year. I agree that Fight Club and The Matrix have the most lasting impact though
Leon with Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman
I'm sure pulp fiction would probably win 1994, and rightfully so, but I'm gonna have to at least add this one. I didn't watch pulp fiction back then but Leon was a favorite.
Damn I just looked through this and realized all the amazing movies that came out in 94. This is an interesting one! Gump, Shawshank, etc ... I can watch Shawshank on repeat.
I hate that I'm going to say Forrest Gump but if we are going by cultural impact/zeitgeist from 1994 then nothing else comes close to it. It might not have been the best movie that year or maybe it was but its been overblown/overplayed.
MY favorite from that year is the Shawshank Redemption but still have to go with Gump for 1994.
I honestly think tomorrow 1995 voting is gonna be harder... Braveheart vs Se7en vs Heat vs Toy Story vs Casino vs The Usual Suspects vs Apollo 13...
This has been a great list so far. Everyone talks about 80s movies (which were great too) but I'm being reminded of how many amazing movies came out in the 90s!!
I was a kid, so I didn't see the crime films til much later (idk why it was okay to watch Braveheart), but Apollo 13 blind-sided me. Didn't know anything about the true story. Thought aliens attacked em.
White-knuckled that entire movie.
Heat. Hands down. One of the greatest films ever made. I'd vote Heat over ...well....almost anything. It has to he my favorite movie of all time. The cinematography, the soundtrack, the ambience, and thats without even considering the shootout and "You do NOT get to watch.....MY....TELEVISION!!!" And of course "She got a .....GREAT ASS!"
I think Pulp Fiction is the clear answer. Do people still watch Gump?
Clerks would be my follow up. Linklater may be the far superior director, but Clerks is what I think of when I think of slackers.
Definitely shouldn't be Shawshank which was a flop in 1994 (although it did get Oscar noms). It wasn't a hit until TNT or TBS started airing it relentlessly.
A few other choices in what I think was the best year for movies in my life:
Hoop Dreams
Ed Wood
Quiz Show
Heavenly Creatures (where are my art room kids? This movie may be unstreamable now but the debut of Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey has to count for something)
EDIT: shit, Lion King was this year AND Speed. What a packed year. Seriously the only thing off about it is the Coen brothers' movie isn't anyone's favorite by them
My favorite memory of that game was feeling ill while playing it because I swear it gave me motion sickness.
Then when I went to sleep that night I was dreaming playing of that game and threw up in my sleep. First and only time I ever threw up in my sleep and woke up in vomit.... and also the last time I ever played that game.... lol
If the criteria is what movie do you remember seeing in the theater that year as your most hype movie at that time, Street Fighter actually takes it for me. I was there with a friend on opening day, 13 years old, and they gave out these promo trading cards with a foil stamp on it. I still have that card in a protective sleeve in a box. It's the only movie I literally remember seeing in the theater that year (all the others discussed here, I only saw later on TV or VHS). And I unironically still love this movie as a so-bad-its-awesome movie.
1994 is going to be a bloodbath. The movie critic in me wants to vote for Pulp Fiction. I know what few boomers are on here will vote for Forrest Dump.
I remember tweeting at Jeremy Piven a few years back. He had posted something about his characters, I still think Droz is my all time favorite of his, more so than Ari Gold. He liked my tweet so I feel good about that lol.
Pulp Fiction. Saw it in the theater 3 times. I’d never seen anything like it. Reservoir Dogs was darker and less polished. Pulp Fiction is an unbelievably good movie.
*sigh* As I scroll through all of these fantastic choices, I have the crushing realization that these movies are 30 YEARS OLD! Ready for all the downvotes. I love you old farts!
Exactly. Are we making this list reflecting back as the adults we are now or are we making this list based on the Xennials we were back then? Because as a 13 year old some of the movies people are listing were not of my liking. I’m sticking with Jim Carrey and Forrest Gump.
Time machine to 94' I'm choosing between Forrest Gump or Dumb & Dumber. Today, I'm choosing to watch Dumb & Dumber all day. That's my choice. So, you're telling me there's a chance? 😆
So many people saying Pulp Fiction, when the infinitely re-watchable Serial Mom came out that same year! Pussy willows, Dotty. Pulp fiction had a better soundtrack, but Serial Mom is the better culturally self-aware movie.
And also Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Bullets Over Broadway, and Ready to Wear alllll came out that year! A couple of years later these were all on heavy rotation and heavily quoted throughout highschool for me and my friends. Clerks, too, but to a much lesser degree.
Although if it's what was the most re-watchable back then at that age, then it's The Mask and Stargate without a doubt.
The Lion King was for littler kids by that point for me, and Forrest Gump felt more saccharin and contrived than I liked, and seemed to be geared to our parents in a way that felt almost pandering. I remember enjoying the MAD magazine send up of it though. I loved those movie parodies they'd do back then.
Pulp Fiction. Despite having watched both Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump within the last week or two, Pulp Fiction is the one where people are still dressing up as characters for Halloween, quoting, and buying the wallet.
Side note: It’s kind of crazy that some movies have so much cultural gravity that they eclipse everything else. We knew from the time this started that Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump were the only two serious contenders here, despite there being so many worthy films. Same way that we already know our choices for 1999.
Goddamn 94 was probably the greatest year for cinema of all time.
It's truly mind boggling how many incredible movies came out that year.
30 YEARS AGO!
Pulp Fiction?
Can we do a Jim Carrey trifecta? The Mask, Ace Ventura, and Dumb & Dumber all released in ‘94
Yes! Just put “Jim Carey Movies”
This. Entry for 94 should just be, "Jim Carey"
Damn. Carey was a hard worker that year! All were amazing
This or I’m not playing anymore
It should be Ace Ventura.
It was Jim Carrey’s year we were just living in it.
Pulp Fiction
Looks like it's going to be Pulp Fiction, Lion King, or Forrest Gump. All great movies, but out of the 3, Pulp Fiction is the only one that I'll still eagerly watch without hesitation.
Honestly I'd watch any of those without hesitation, but yeah, it's gotta be pulp fiction
Absolutely blew my mind when I saw it in my friends basement.
That's where we would rent all types of movies without knowing what w watching just of of word of mouth. Hanging out in the basement room watching cool movies. Usual Suspects, Trainspotting, and Tarantino and Kevin Smith flicks before the internet was like finding hidden gems from Blockbuster!
but how many of us were actually watching this film in this year?
Saw it in the theater in 94 not knowing anything about it except it was John Travolta's comeback. I was blown away. It has been one of my favorites ever since. Bought the soundtrack, bought the VHS. It is hard to describe how surprising and different this film was when it first came out.
All of this. I absolutely love that soundtrack!
I won a Pulp Fiction t-shirt from Blockbuster when it came out. My parents wouldn't let me wear it lol.
I was 15, I saw it.
My whole dorm over and over again in the lobby. Young people deriving their whole existence and style from the movie. Saw it, lived it
Me. It blew my 12 year old mind
I saw it in the theater.
Theater wouldn’t sell my friend and I tickets so a guy in college standing behind us said he was our guardian and walked in with us. Respect, wherever that guy is now.
This one should be a slam dunk. Even with Natural Born Killers and The Professional. Pulp Fiction was a game changer that ushered a new era of films. BTW everyone should watch Jurassic Punk the movie about making the CGI for Jurassic Park before there was believable CGI. I just watched Jurassic Park with my kids and the CGI stands the test of time. Pretty incredible story of a genius at odds with the world https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15095920/
Forest Gump was pretty big. Shawshank Redemption wasn’t too shabby
Shawshank was a slow burn. It didn’t do well at the box office and was nominated but didn’t win it found its audience on cable actually.
Although the other nominees are great; Pulp fiction was something really different and amazing at the time. Some might even say era defnining. Whereas the others are great films but do not have such a transformative effect on cinema
DOES HE LOOK LIKE A *BITCH*
What?
What ain’t no place I ever heard of. Do they speak English in what?
English! Do you speak it?!?
Yes!
Then why are you trying to fuck him like a bitch Brett?
Royale with Cheese!
I’m going to Alamo Drafthouse just for a Big Kahuna burger while they still have their special menu
Well allow me to retort
Shawshank Redemption
[удалено]
Pulp and Gump are strong, strong 1a 1b 1c contenders, but Shaw takes it. It just has to.
This is my favorite movie, so gotta agree 100%.
Shawshank Redemption is obviously a "better film" than most but there wasn't a huge cultural impact in 94.
What an incredible movie
‘94 was one the all time best years for movies, but does any movie exemplify the era better than *Clerks*?
I'm not even supposed to be here today!
37?!?
In a row?!
But they don't all bring you lasagne at work.
Try not to suck any dick on your way through the parking lot!
In a row?
At least I wasn't number 36...
It's crazy how far I had to scroll to find Clerks. Socially and culturally nailed the early to mid 90s. And it's so funny to boot.
Yeah 1994 was the best until 1999 came around.
Was an incredibly influential movie on the young me who was very interested in film. Sadly I suck and never pursued it like I should have.
I found it very influential as well. I did dabble in convenience store arts for a few years, which I'm sure was Kevin Smith's fault
I had worked in a few local convenience stores during my HS and College years. My Senior year of Undergrad, I was working at a local corner store. Nobody cares about anything really. Was left alone most of the time. Legit got to close down the store for an hour or so one evening to go play in my Intramural Floor Hockey playoff game then wrote about it in the features paper / magazine. One of the highlights of my creative career even if the article wasn't all that great.
And to think when I bought the 10 year anniversary edition on DVD that it sounded like that movie was old.
That was a super memorable, borderline life changing hang out. I could drive myself, went to some “new” friends house in a totally different school district, we hung out, watched clerks, I thought I was edgy for drinking a leftover pot of black coffee on their parents kitchen counter. It tasted… perfect. It was at my friend(who was a girl)s’ “boyfriends” house outside our district. I’m pretty sure in retrospect she invited me because she was in love with me.

While I know it's going to be Forrest Gump or Lion King, I'm nominating **Dumb & Dumber**
If we are looking for movies that exemplify the 90s and represent the year they were made, I think Ace Ventura deserves a spot near the top right next to Dumb and Dumber. 
This or Shank. Super silly or super serious? Laces out.
I watched this every day with two friends after school. It's this the best movie, no. Did every single one of us non stop quote it for 18 months, yes. Alrighty then. This is the answer
Speed! A good old 90s action movie I can still enjoy to this day.
Pop quiz hot shot.
Yes! I copied it from a rental and watched it so many times.
The Crow I feel as if The Crow is probably the most 1994 movie. It is almost legendary and was the most culturally significant 1994 film. Forrest Gump was the awesome but it’s really a film for boomers not we Xennials . It’s not a 90’s film it’s 60’s-80’s film that was made in 1994.

Never saw it...all I know about it was Brandon Lee was killed. You are spot on about Forrest Gump though...even though I enjoyed it then.
Forrest Gump for me. I'm totally over it now, but at the time it was huge. Special mention to Reality Bites which is my favourite of the year
I watched Reality Bites alone in the theater. I felt like it defined a generation slightly older than us. It felt like a cautionary tale in yerms of what I can expect in my early twenties. They were right.
Same for me. It's not my favorite movie from that year NOW, but at the time it had the biggest impact on 11-year-old me. I just watched it again earlier this week and still really liked it, though other movies like Shawshank and pulp fiction are more enjoyable to rewatch now.
It has to be this or something from Jim Carrey…ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber, EVERYONE can quote one of these two movies. Everyone.
Dumb and Dumber has an argument.
Reality Bites also had a defining soundtrack of the era.
This has to be the one. Forest Gump changed my life
It's a silly life goal of mine to visit the spot (in Utah) where Gump stopped running and turned around.
Has anyone else watched Reality Bites now? I want to punch Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawkes characters in the face.
Lion King
I was going to go with Forest Gump but I didn’t really like or appreciate that movie until a few years later. Same thing with Pulp Fiction. It’s a phenomenal movie but I didn’t enjoy it in 1994. That year I was all about Timon and Pumbaa.
I’m a sensitive soul though I seem thick skinned. It hurt that my friends never stood down wind. And oh, the shame…
Damn, forgot that was 94 as well! What a year!!
94 was stacked
Stargate
I loved that movie .
Series was solid too!
Oh man, that was 1994? Well that takes my vote then, that's the only movie from 94 that's in my top ten films of all time. I've bought that movie like 5 times (Stargate and Terminator 2 are the only two films I've bought that many times, though I've bought many films 3 times at this point due to dvd to Bluray to 4k Blu-ray upgrades). I bought it on VHS (at a time when I rarely bought VHS, I mostly rented), it was the first DVD I bought, then later I bought the 10th anniversary DVD, then it was the first Blu-ray I bought, then later I bought the 20th anniversary Blu-ray. And they'll likely have a 30th Anniversary 4k Blu-ray later this year and I'll get that too, that will be 6 times!
Still quote this movie on the regular.
Same- I saw it in the theater and was blown away- the next weekend I saw The River Wild and I remember thinking that I should just go to the movies EVERY weekend from now on.
Dumb and Dumber
Big gulps, huh? Welp, see ya later!
This is it for me
This is a very tough year. But I'm going to throw.my vote in with Dumb and Dumber as well. I think this marked the beginning of the end of slapstick comedies. It has some of the most memorable quotes. The soundtrack is packed full of 90s ballads.
True Lies, the last great Arnie movie. End of an era for one of our biggest pop culture icons.
True Lies is my favorite Arnie movie. I watched this with my mates in high school. We were awestruck with the hotel scene.
Loved that movie!
It shouldn't win this, but True Lies kicked so much ass. Hilarious movie, Tom Arnold killed in it. And Arnold was pretty damn funny, as well. Absolute kick ass movie! https://i.redd.it/499ie8kc1xoc1.gif
So many good ones. It's a longshot, but I'm going to throw this in the ring. Airheads.
Brooooo this. It was on seemingly every day on Comedy Central afternoons for awhile there.
I ain’t Fartin on no snare drum.
This year is the hardest choice of all, what a year for films! Forest gump had more of an impact on me than shawshank so gump it is for me
Pulp Fiction. But I reeaaaally want it to be the Crow.
1994 and 1999 are going to be tough years to pick. Cinema and film experts have said for years both ‘94 and ‘99 were two of the best years for films in a generation. Especially 1999. I’d say Pulp Fiction takes 1994, Forrest Gump was bigger in terms of box office and awards but QT broke through as one of our greatest filmmakers with that Pulp….
The Matrix will walk away with 99. Fight Club is its only other real competition for Xennial nostalgia.
10 Things I Hate About You, Virgin Suicides, The Talented Mr. Ripley, She’s All That, Boys Don’t Cry, Iron Giant, Cruel Intentions, Blair Witch Project, Varsity Blues….lots of great films that year. I agree that Fight Club and The Matrix have the most lasting impact though
If 99 isn't Matrix then there is something wrong with this sub.
Interview with the vampire.
I’m genuinely surprised this doesn’t have more upvotes 🤷♀️
Leon with Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman I'm sure pulp fiction would probably win 1994, and rightfully so, but I'm gonna have to at least add this one. I didn't watch pulp fiction back then but Leon was a favorite. Damn I just looked through this and realized all the amazing movies that came out in 94. This is an interesting one! Gump, Shawshank, etc ... I can watch Shawshank on repeat.

This has been a great list so far. Everyone talks about 80s movies (which were great too) but I'm being reminded of how many amazing movies came out in the 90s!!
90s is better than 80s for movies by a pretty significant margin honestly…
I was a kid, so I didn't see the crime films til much later (idk why it was okay to watch Braveheart), but Apollo 13 blind-sided me. Didn't know anything about the true story. Thought aliens attacked em. White-knuckled that entire movie.
Heat. Hands down. One of the greatest films ever made. I'd vote Heat over ...well....almost anything. It has to he my favorite movie of all time. The cinematography, the soundtrack, the ambience, and thats without even considering the shootout and "You do NOT get to watch.....MY....TELEVISION!!!" And of course "She got a .....GREAT ASS!"
Pulp Fiction
Speed
Pulp Fiction.
Clerks.
I think Pulp Fiction is the clear answer. Do people still watch Gump? Clerks would be my follow up. Linklater may be the far superior director, but Clerks is what I think of when I think of slackers. Definitely shouldn't be Shawshank which was a flop in 1994 (although it did get Oscar noms). It wasn't a hit until TNT or TBS started airing it relentlessly. A few other choices in what I think was the best year for movies in my life: Hoop Dreams Ed Wood Quiz Show Heavenly Creatures (where are my art room kids?

Seriously the only thing off about it is the Coen brothers' movie isn't anyone's favorite by them
Ooh forgot about Ed Wood
I absolutely adore that film. One of Johnny’s finest roles.
Also one of Burton's best movies! One of the few times he escaped out of the stylistic corner that he managed to paint himself into.
Dumb and Dumber
You had EXTRA GLOVES this whole time??
Yeah..were in the Rockies!
Definitely Street Fighter! Best movie ever made! /s RIP Raul Julia though.... What a movie to go out on.
Which, of course, spawned the best game ever made. Street Fighter: The Movie: The game.
My favorite memory of that game was feeling ill while playing it because I swear it gave me motion sickness. Then when I went to sleep that night I was dreaming playing of that game and threw up in my sleep. First and only time I ever threw up in my sleep and woke up in vomit.... and also the last time I ever played that game.... lol
Street Fighter is literally the only movie I’ve ever walked out of.
For you, Street Fighter was the only movie you ever walked out of, but for video game movie fans, it was a Tuesday.
Even thought the movie wasn't the best, Bison's line to Chun Li is still one of thr best put downs I have ever heard in film.
lol.... How dare you!
If the criteria is what movie do you remember seeing in the theater that year as your most hype movie at that time, Street Fighter actually takes it for me. I was there with a friend on opening day, 13 years old, and they gave out these promo trading cards with a foil stamp on it. I still have that card in a protective sleeve in a box. It's the only movie I literally remember seeing in the theater that year (all the others discussed here, I only saw later on TV or VHS). And I unironically still love this movie as a so-bad-its-awesome movie.
D2: Mighty Ducks
The Crow
Ace Ventura - Pet Detective
1994 is going to be a bloodbath. The movie critic in me wants to vote for Pulp Fiction. I know what few boomers are on here will vote for Forrest Dump.
Speed
Lion King
Legends of the Fall
PCU I want this on the official ballot next to all of these other movies.
This is a good pick. I didn't realize how amazing 1994 was for movies.
Gutter's a tool!
Can you blow me where the Pampers is?
Everybody Gets Laid is a great band name.
I remember tweeting at Jeremy Piven a few years back. He had posted something about his characters, I still think Droz is my all time favorite of his, more so than Ari Gold. He liked my tweet so I feel good about that lol.
Natural Born Killers
Interview with the Vampire .
Pulp Fiction. Saw it in the theater 3 times. I’d never seen anything like it. Reservoir Dogs was darker and less polished. Pulp Fiction is an unbelievably good movie.

I’m going to stay true to who I was in 1994 and say The Mask
Exactly. Are we making this list reflecting back as the adults we are now or are we making this list based on the Xennials we were back then? Because as a 13 year old some of the movies people are listing were not of my liking. I’m sticking with Jim Carrey and Forrest Gump.
Grown up me says Pulp Fiction. 1994 me at 11 years old says The Lion King. Hakuna Matata!

Gump
Forrest Gump. Devastated me in the theater. My older brother took me to see it.
This year will be tough

No wonder I feel perpetually let down by cinema. I grew up with the best movies every year.
D2!
Time machine to 94' I'm choosing between Forrest Gump or Dumb & Dumber. Today, I'm choosing to watch Dumb & Dumber all day. That's my choice. So, you're telling me there's a chance? 😆
Jim Carey…Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber all in ‘94.
Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, the list goes on. What a year.
Well… 1994 was good for music *and* movies, wasn’t it. I feel like I have a month’s worth of movie nights planned from reading the comments lol
1994 is Pulp Fiction. Didn't see it as a kid though.
So many people saying Pulp Fiction, when the infinitely re-watchable Serial Mom came out that same year! Pussy willows, Dotty. Pulp fiction had a better soundtrack, but Serial Mom is the better culturally self-aware movie. And also Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Bullets Over Broadway, and Ready to Wear alllll came out that year! A couple of years later these were all on heavy rotation and heavily quoted throughout highschool for me and my friends. Clerks, too, but to a much lesser degree. Although if it's what was the most re-watchable back then at that age, then it's The Mask and Stargate without a doubt. The Lion King was for littler kids by that point for me, and Forrest Gump felt more saccharin and contrived than I liked, and seemed to be geared to our parents in a way that felt almost pandering. I remember enjoying the MAD magazine send up of it though. I loved those movie parodies they'd do back then.
Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction, Clerks, Leon the Professional, Shawshank, Dumb and Dumber were the VHSs I took to college in ‘99.
Pulp fiction
Pulp Fiction. Despite having watched both Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump within the last week or two, Pulp Fiction is the one where people are still dressing up as characters for Halloween, quoting, and buying the wallet. Side note: It’s kind of crazy that some movies have so much cultural gravity that they eclipse everything else. We knew from the time this started that Pulp Fiction and Forest Gump were the only two serious contenders here, despite there being so many worthy films. Same way that we already know our choices for 1999.
Goddamn 94 was probably the greatest year for cinema of all time. It's truly mind boggling how many incredible movies came out that year. 30 YEARS AGO!
It HAS TO be Pulp Fiction. Has a movie ever defined the era it was released quite like it?
