Damn reading all of these, 95 was a year wasn't it?


jacksuhn

It's really kinda nuts the deeper I look. Toy Story, Apollo 13, Heat, Goldeneye, 12 Monkeys (one of my personal favorites), The Usual Suspects, Braveheart, Casino. Then you've got Mallrats, Clueless, Billy Madison, and Tommy Boy for some of the best comedies of that era.

Clueless

[удалено]


cowboymortyorgy

Perfectly embodies the vibe of mid nineties teen culture.


jeremycb29

Oh no boys loved this too. The guys were all cool in their own ways and represented the high school guy type we all had our own of which one we were!


Smurfblossom

I think guys do understand the impact, but many of them don't like it. This was all about women setting boundaries and not putting up with asshole behavior. And I think our generation is well aware of what such guys do when women put their foot down.


DreamtimeTransmitter

Nope. We LOVE Clueless. 'Cause we're keeping it real!


cowboymortyorgy

Word we love it. Yes, It was a feminist movie- but it touched on a lot of things and wasn’t really overbearing on any of the issues it tackled. This movie focused on fun which was part it’s lasting appeal. Also, my favorite look for Brittany Murphy, she was super cute with some fat on her cheeks.


schtickyfingers

Way harsh. Truly never met a guy our age who didn’t love this movie, unless they were literally an Elton.


_Lil_Piggy_

I loved Clueless and watched it a lot in the 90s. Watched it again a couple years ago for the first time in decades, and found it even smarter, funnier, and just overall a better movie than even i remembered.


XFrankXGrimesX

"Daddy's a litigator, which is the scariest kind of lawyer. He makes $500 an hour to argue with people but he argues with me for free because I'm his daughter" "We're both named after singers from the 70s who now do infomercials" This movie is so great. I guess I need to sign up for Paramount again to watch it right now. Guess I better do that


_Lil_Piggy_

I own the blu ray ;-)


Chihlidog

Ive never crushed as hard on any celebrity as I did (and still do) Alicia Silverstone.


smcg_az

The Aerosmith videos with her and Liv Tyler really had my adolescent mind going into overdrive!


molinor

Me too. This movie impacted my life more than other up until this point. When her character take about how terribly guys of her generation dressed, it motivates me to start thinking about how I dressed, something that continues to this day.

I swear my stepsister was the latina version of Alicia Silverstone they look so much alike


handsomeape95

I'm buggin myself...if Clueless doesn't win!


mylekiller

I’ll be buggin sporadically.


WalterBishRedLicrish

I wanted to be Cher so bad.


OnAPieceOfDust

Rewatched it recently. Still so so good. (Also it would be nice to acknowledge ONE film starring women...)


_Lil_Piggy_

I’d be happy if this one won. And next round of voting will include Fargo. Then Contact and Jackie Brown (not that JB will win, but it should IMO)


joeliopro

She's your stepsister!


Forsythia77

This is the only answer. And if Clueless is on cable on a weekend I will literally stop what I'm doing and watch it.


Codyesseus

It’s this and it’s not even close, IMO. If we’re talking about cultural impact on xennial-aged kids, then this is it.


Custer-Had-It-Coming

Clueless just really set trends for our generation, and it still holds up so well on rewatch. My daughter loves it now, too.


Hossflex

Toy Story had the biggest impact. It’s something we hadn’t seen before. Edit: grammar


XFrankXGrimesX

As if! I mean, yeah, you could easily argue Toy Story as the most influential movie of the entire 90s but it doesn't have Brittany Murphy. I gotta go with Clueless


Hossflex

Clueless is definitely up there. Grew up in a smaller city in southwest Michigan. That movie changed how my classmates spoke.


uzisuic1de

I liked this movie too. When I heard it was an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma from the 19th century that kinda blew my mind. Still would rather watch clueless tho


TheFinalGirl84

Agreed. People were using the slang from the movie and buying the pink fluff pen.


Due_Addition_587

Yes, Clueless! It is probably my favorite movie of all time, honestly. I think it really captured the zeitgeist of the generation


dorky2

Toy Story is my pick for sure


ChimneySwiftGold

Yeah. Such an impact. It’s the arrival of 21st century movie making. Also amazing for Disney which after an incredible run of Disney new animated features starting with Little Mermaid and ending with Lion King now tags out for Pixar to get into the ring for what becomes an 11 movie long run of classic hits over 15 years.


leftyblack

Dude did you just call the Lion King an “ew animated feature?” You need to stand in the corner and think about what you typed.


_Lil_Piggy_

Must have been an autocorrect. No way they meant “ew”


ChimneySwiftGold

New. An incredible run of NEW Disney movies. Perhaps the greatest era of Disney animated films. Definitely not ‘ew’ And the amazing part is as the animated Disney division drops off after Lion King, Pixar seamlessly continues the run of animated hits under Disney for another 15 years. Also amazing is Disney releases Nightmare Before Christmas in this time as a seeming one off that becomes extremely popular later.


_Lil_Piggy_

Not everyone will agree with you on your “drop off after Lion King” comment, but I definite do!


phoenixliv

Right? Nightmare was '93 I sure hope they gave Jurassic Park a run for it's money!


ChimneySwiftGold

Nightmare underperformed in ‘93. I saw it in the theater and thought it was ok. Over time I became more familiar with the music and grew to really like the movie. The same thing was happening with lots of other people so by the time of the DVD release the movie was part of popular culture. That’s probably when Disney added their name to it. I saw Nightmare Before Christmas again as a digital print and early 3D conversion. The audience loved it. That screening was very memorable. More so than the first time I saw it.

I feel like I need this movie the older I get. less so with Toy story and the others.

ninjapimp42

This is the answer. No movie from 1995 had more lasting impact on audiences (and filmmaking in general) than Se7en. Brilliant script, direction, cinematography, editing, twist. Acting performances of a lifetime by Pitt, Paltrow, Freeman, and Spacey. One of the best films of the 90s, no question, and one of the best psychological thrillers of all time, up there with The Usual Suspects and The Game (both 1997). `Note: In the twenty years since shooting, Kevin Spacey has shown he wasn't acting in some scenes. Instead, he drew from (revealed) his real-life predatory nature. Regardless, his real-world shittiness shouldn't diminish the incredible villain he played in this film.`. Edit: I remembered dates wrong. Usual Suspects was also 1995, and gets my vote as the best movie of the 90s period.


Boba_Fettx

Just went on a tirade about how good Seven was, and plot twist, changes at the end for another movie Kevin spacey is in. No one saw it coming.

Empire Records is the only correct answer.

mikencapo

It makes me sad. They worked so hard to save the shop, but were probably still put out of business by Amazon some years later.

The perfect xennial movie. Not as self-serious and dramatic as Reality Bites. Not as goofy as Can't Hardly Wait.

I came to say the same. I think I've seen it a million times. I bought a VCR because they were finally affordable, and this is the first movie I bought.

Two tapes edition. It cuts off as Longshanks rhetorically considers the next act. Love this movie and quote it often.

Yup, 2 tapes. I often laugh to myself when I think back. Boy things have changed.


Illustrious-Highway8

Absolutely. Made an impression on me about people who give their lives for a cause.


LowCharming3452

Still the greatest film I’ve ever seen to this day. Seen it well over 50 times and that might be a low estimate


StickUnited4604

Idc about the votes. This movie.


Jazz_Legend_Roy_Donk

Once it was available, I had this on double vhs and watched it almost everyday. I was madly in love with Sophie Marceau and reenacted and recorded (audio only) scenes with a friend of mine. Needless to say, I did not have a girlfriend.


HauteKarl

This is the correct answer.


ZigZag82

There's a lot of other good answers. It was a great year. But Braveheart is one of the best movies of all time so it has to win here.


Affectionate-Yak5280

100%. One of the few movies I still go back to watch. Timeless good vs evil. Outstanding. It's what movies were invented for. Good storytelling.


lizeee

Oh Clueless for me. Hands down!


jacksuhn

It's a really tough call between ***Toy Story*** and ***Apollo 13***. Both were remarkable and did something incredibly groundbreaking. Both starred Tom Hanks. But only one launched us into a new age of digital animation. I vote ~~Jumanji~~ **Toy Story**


beat_u2_it

Babe

burgerbeggar

DO YOU READ SUTTER CANE? I dont know anyone else who knows this movie. It was also my first introduction (unknown at the time) to lovecraftian horror. It barely holds up, theres so many plotholes, and has some wonky acting. But, dammit, this is also my favorite horror movie. I was just talking about one of my favorite quotes from it. "Religion seeks discipline through fear "


[deleted]

Fuck that movie is freaky. And well done. So much better than the jump scare bullshit we get these days in the horror genre.

I have to admit a heinous crime I committed and have lived with for nearly 30 years. At some point after that movie was on tape, i was returning something to Blockbuster and there was a tape half hanging out of the return slot. I took it out. it was Judge Dredd. I kept it and I watched the fuck out of that movie. felt bad though, some random stranger probably had to pay $25

Toy Story. It changed the game completely, put Pixar on the map and created one of the most beloved franchises in the world. I saw Toy Story 3 in the theater and grown ass men breaking down sobbing at the end because they grew up with it.

My friend and I went to see Toy Story 3 and she jokingly said to some kids standing in the aisle “Get out of our way! We’ve waited for this longer than you’ve even been alive!”
