Guest The Rising Star Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 The competition is between Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, Lion King and Forrest Gump. My favourite has to be Pulp Fiction of the mentioned.
Guest Choken One Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Shawshank Redemption. Pulp Fiction simply doesn't hold up anymore. One of the great over rated movies of all time... Forrest Gump is only good once...you can't really feel for Gump a second time around...The acting from Hanks is still good nontheless and Gary Sinse was great. 1994 also had... Quiz Show 4 Weddings and Funeral The Crow a fantastic year.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 The Shawshank Redemption Forrest Gump *****
Guest El Satanico Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Pulp Fiction is great, but Shawshank is superior and will likely be a movie people still talk about in 2030. Pulp Fiction will be one of those "forgotten gems" in 2030. There's many "forgotten gems" from the 70s and before. list of movies from 94 with highest average IMDB rating. Shawshank Redemption, The Pulp Fiction Léon Forrest Gump Three Colors: Red Ed Wood Clerks. Once Were Warriors To Live Hoop Dreams Heavenly Creatures Lion King, The Eat Drink Man Woman Three Colors: White Crumb Before the Rain Fear City: A Family-Style Comedy Drunken Master II Postino, Il Burnt by the Sun Queen Margot
Guest The Rising Star Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Dumb & Dumber had me laughing for 1 1/2 hours, so that's a great movie!
Slayer Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 I'd say it's a tie between The Flinstones and North Shawshank I have to toss a write-in vote for True Lies while I'm at it, though
LaParkaYourCar Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Pulp Fiction simply doesn't hold up anymore. One of the great over rated movies of all time... Thank you! Someone agrees with me about Pulp Fiction. It's still a fun movie to watch every once in awhile, but it just doesn't have the zing it used to.
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 I'd say it's a tie between The Flinstones and North Shawshank I have to toss a write-in vote for True Lies while I'm at it, though True Lies is one of the greatest action films ever made.

LaParkaYourCar Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 I.Q.! I forgot about that movie. That was a funny little movie. I saw it while reading El Satanico's post...I'm not saying it was the best of 1994.
Downhome Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 You know, if I really sat down and thought about it, I might just come to the conclusion that Léon is my favorite from that year. I'd also rank The Hudsucker Proxy and Swimming With Sharks very high on my list for that year.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Léon would be my pick. Followed by Shawshank and Pulp.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Heres another vote for Dumb and Dumber.
edotherocket Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Eat, Drink, Man, Woman or Ed Wood get my vote from that year.
Vanhalen Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 I'm going to vote for two movies that I personally enjoyed, Clear And Present Danger(tho the book is better), I think Harrison Ford is Jack Ryan in the same way Kiefer is Bauer, Killing Zoe is also a great Tarantino film
Masked Man of Mystery Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 I may end up sounding like an idiot, but could someone tell me what exactly was the point of Pulp Fiction? I get the sort of basic storyline, but it sort of tails off and well, the best explanation I've heard is "day in the life" and that is just weak, so if anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.
Guest Big_Jay101 Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Pulp Fiction is a movie that shows the fate of two hitmen, a boxer, and a crime boss or whatever marcellus was.
HarleyQuinn Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Is Leon the same movie as The Professional? If so, that might be my pick with Shawshank coming a close 2nd.
Guest Choken One Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Pulp Fiction is a movie that shows the fate of two hitmen, a boxer, and a crime boss or whatever marcellus was. It's really just Tarantino trying to create hip cool dialouge and show blood as frequently as possible. That is the formula ALL Tarantino moves have and that's why I strongly disagree with the notion that he is a GREAT filmmaker...because he sticks to the same style and formula. I'm not saying he is the only one who fits that pattern but i think a truly great director changes his style every once in a while.

Ted the Poster Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Shawshank, Gump and Léon are my picks. Pulp Fiction is a movie that I can only watch every few years to still be entertained at around the same level.
DCMaximo Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Using the IMDB list, I'd go Natural Born Killers as the best, quickly followed by Shawshank Redemption and Clerks.
The Mandarin Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 I'm still entertained by Pulp Fiction. Then it would be followed up by Shawshank Redemption, Dumb and Dumber, and Forrest Gump.
bobobrazil1984 Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Shawshank Redemption (I'm not sure I would ever trust somebody who said "shawshank isn't a great movie")
Guest Retro Rob Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 My personal favorite movie, Natural Born Killers.
2GOLD Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Queen Margot Isabelle Adjani That woman managed to dethrone Shannon Tweed as my crush for a long time.
ArkhamGlobe Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 My three favourites from the Imdb list are Three Colours - Red, Pulp Fiction and La Reine Margot.
