A genre that has little new added to it in decades, but this film is something different. It truly is an orginal peice of storytelling in a genre that is very old. But through the next year or two, as I began watching and renting similiar movies, I began to realize there isn't anything similiar about it. It is a murder, cops and robbers type of movie. When I first saw it, I just didn't get what all the hype and critical praise was about. This is one of those movies that has grown on me. The film would go on to win 7 Oscars and appear on AFI's (American Film Institute) top 100 movies of all time. It makes you wonder what the country was like when these animals roamed the range. The Buffalo stampede has an epic feel to it. The film is eloquently told and beautifully filmed. As he learns about their culture, he decides to leave his "normal" life and join the tribe. An idealistic Civil War soldier asks to be stationed out in the west where he makes friends with a group of Sioux Indians. While it's a wonder that "Braveheart" was Mel Gibson's second directed film, it's even more astounishing that this film is Kevin Costner's first in the director's chair. The sequence of Mel Gibson, preparing his men for battle by shouting his emotional speech to the fighting warriors, dressed in their blue face paint, would cause even a chicken to run off into battle. The movie may be a bit too long with its depressing ending, but it is a passionate, powerful and beautifully visual film to watch.

The film grows in scale through a series of extremely violent and realistic battles. This sweeping, epic film follows a 13th-century Scotsman as he builds a rebellion against the English King Edward I. When you watch this film, it's amazing to think that this is only Mel Gibson's second time as a director. By 1999, 5 studio (including some in Japan) would have major releases of great animated films. Disney would later give us "Aladdin" and "The Lion King". More importantly, it gave Disney and other studios the courage to start or continue animation.

The movie would become the first animated film to ever be nominated for a best picture Oscar, and would go on to spawn a TV series, video sequels and a Broadway musical. There was inspirations from the classic Jean Cocteau, French film from 1946, but much of the success should go to the musical score by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (both Oscar winners) who also brought many story ideas to the film as well.
With the help of her new friends, humanized household items, she learns to see beyond the exterior and fall in love. The classic fairy tale, tells of a charming young woman who is trapped in a castle by a ferocious beast. The late 80's saw a minor success in "The Little Mermaid", but it wasn't until this film that animation was back on the map. Under Eisner's new leadership, Disney tried to kickstart the department one last time.
In fact, the company was thinking about selling off or closing down this department all together. Disney, the only major company still in the busy of animation, hadn't had a major hit in 25 years or more. Looking back before the 90's, the animated movie was dieing a slow death. This movie is important on so many levels, but mainly for helping to save the art of animation. The entire cast is excellent (with Kevin Spacey winning an Oscar), but the dialogue makes this work on it's many levels, from humor, drama, and horror, without being too preachy. The film touches on the materialistic ideas of the consumer society, as well as, drug use, adultry, homosexuality, murder, being yourself and living "your" dream. The story is a simple examination of the American Dream as it looks at a modern suburban family. Most summer movies don't have that kind of lasting power. I was quite surprised when it made the final push for the Oscars and won. I saw this film a few days after it came out in the summer of 1999 and fell in love with it. By viewing these 20 films, I believe you will have a great feel for what the American film was all about in the 90's. To get back to my site from this link, you will need to use the "back" button. The movie titles are linked to the IMDB (Internet Movie Database) which contains extra information on each film, including the cast and crew. Each are great in their own way and would be quite difficult to arrange in a 1-20 list. The top films are placed in alphabetical order. I did not include foreign films, although I did include a special category for them on my movie poll. As well as movies that were groundbreaking from a technology point of view or changed the industry in some way. I tried to include films from all the main genres including, war, horror, sci-fi, romance, kid's, etc. It includes my own views, as well as views from e-mails, other critics and websites. This is my own personal list of the top films of the 90's. The Actors, Actresses and Directors of the 90's
