Since I want your guys opinion more than just shoving movies down your throat...I picked a bunch of random 90's movies I like. Feel free to add and remove films from the following list. Only 96 are making it, maybe even less. Or more?

It would have been very funny if you had said that and locked the thread.

Can we keep the nominee voting open for a few days?

There are a lot of movies and I'm sure we'll be thinking of them for a while.

I think we need to just add another round. Sorry. but if we really want to see how this winds up, we need to consider that the 90s had a shitload of good movies.


Add Die Hard: With a Vengeance

I dunno I think maybe the franchise rule should in effect, only one movie per franchise in the decade, wouldnt be very fair to pit die hard vs die hard

I would argue that Die Hard: With a Vengeance is infinitely better than Die Hard 2.

I am fine with a replace.
