My Favorite: Movies: 1995

Xaviar Xerexesby Xaviar Xerexes

1995 marks the beginning of the second half of my review of my favorite movies from the Nineties.  Picking a top ten from each year is an interesting (to me) challenge — I do not look forward to trying to distill a top ten list for the decade.  But onward! As usual there are a bunch of decent to probably great movies from 1995 that I haven’t seen yet including: GoldenEye; Se7en; Clueless; Casino; Dead Presidents; Dead Man Walking; Rob Roy; Friday; To Die For; Clockers; Mighty Aphrodite; Before Sunrise; Tank Girl; Mallrats; Living in Oblivion; Dead Man; Kicking and Screaming; Empire Records; Strange Days; Nixon; and Ghost in the Shell. My favorites of the movies I’ve seen are: Smoke …

My Favorite: Movies: of 1994

Xaviar Xerexesby Xaviar Xerexes

One of a series of posts, continually updated, where I write about [media] I love, in this case being movies from 1994.  Not necessarily movies I saw in 1994, but ones released that year regardless of when I got around to watching them.  Most of these I actually saw in the theaters back in 1994 so it has been many years ago and I’m relying on my memory and my general sense of how I would have ranked them back then.  I did a trawl through IMDB to try and make sure I wasn’t forgetting a less popular gem I …

My Favorite: Movies: 1993

Xaviar Xerexesby Xaviar Xerexes

My oldest daughter is mad at me.  She is having trouble with her homework and is asking for help but apparently I’m not helping in the “correct” way which is some mysterious approach she is not really willing to explain to me.  So instead I am working on trying to figure out my favorite movies from 1993.  Probably better for my daughter’s homework and for my mental health this way. Wow — maybe it was just the reality of being in the most demanding part of the three year lawschool schedule, but there are so many movies from 1993 that …

My Favorite: Movies: 1992

Xaviar Xerexesby Xaviar Xerexes

I posted my picks for 1990 and 1991 yesterday, I take on 1992 today.  As with the other years, it’s both embarrassing and pretty exciting to see that there are a number of good movies from 1992 I should make an effort to see. One of them, Glengarry Glen Ross, was tweeted at me Monday as a pick for 1991.  IMDb has it in 1992, so that’s where I’ll list it.  I’ve seen the “scene” but really ought to see the whole thing ASAP.

My Favorite: Movies: 1991

Xaviar Xerexesby Xaviar Xerexes

After spending way too much time looking back at 1990 and coming up with a top ten list I wasn’t totally sure about, I’m curious as to what 1991 has in store.  I’m not even sure what I remember as being out that year. Ooh! This is the year that Vanilla Ice made his screen debut in Cool as Ice. Well that is an auspicious sign for the year. And.. holee molee, there was another Ernest movie this year — Ernest Scared Stupid. Well there are a lot of movies from 1991 that I still need to see including: My Own Private …

My Favorite: Movies: 1990

Xaviar Xerexesby Xaviar Xerexes

I love lists.  I love pop culture too.  The longer you live the more interesting questions like “what’s the best movie you ever saw?” or “what’s your favorite book?” become.  Especially if you leave those questions unexamined which in the press of being an adult sometimes slides down the priority list. But I am a glutton for punishment and feeling the need to scratch some OCD itches so I figure the easiest way to sort out what my favorites are is to actually try to remember what I’ve experienced and start to sort out my favorites.  I say favorites because …
