Author Topic: 90s MOVIE DRAFT - Sign up and discussion (Read 19835 times)

Las, I was going to list the names and categories with the posters like Samie did so you can post them when you do the voting thread. Is that all right?

I actually think my group is very tough. Samie has one of my favourite lineups in the entire draft. Heat and Red are two of my all-time favourites. 12 Monkeys, My Own Private Ihado and The Lion King are excellent movies too. Dis_1 also has a great lineup with The Big Lebowski, Gattaca, Saving Private Ryan, Reservoir Dogs, and Starship Troopers all personal favourites. Much of SDDL's lineup I haven't seen, but those I did are really good. Enemy of the State is a very underrated thriller. So no leg-up group here.

Of course mate. If you want to post it here or send it to me via PM.

Samie has showgirls which immediately disqualified him.

Nice, although I haven't seen Showgirls. 12 Monkeys is an underrated flick I think, class film.

Btw if anyone can tell me how Starship Troopers got a rating of PG-13 i'm all ears. It's good boobs and more gore and blood than half the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.

True story. Few years ago I was waiting at a bus stop and a junkie came up to me and asked "Do you want some movies man?". I replied no. The man put his hands down his underwear and pulled out 3 DVDs from what appeared to be his behind and waved them in front of me. He then proceeded to sell me on those films.

So let me use this draft as an opportunity to share the contents of my underwear.

Had a lot of fun. Great decade for film. All personal of course so there you go. Some forgotten favourites resurrected and a couple more I haven't seen but am intrigued by so will watch over the weeked as they were bigged up a lot. Ones I couldn't squeeze in were As Good As It Gets, Unforgiven, Thelma & Louise, When We Were Kings, A River Runs Through It, The Quick and the Dead and Farewell my Concubine to name but a few. Well done all
