Must Watch Movie's of the 90's
90's was the decade when we were coming of age as cinephiles and writers,
and we remember it with considerable affection. Those ’70s warhorses
like Martin Scorsese and Robert Altman posted some of the strongest work of their careers, and an exciting new generation of filmmakers—Quentin Tarantino, Joel and Ethan Coen, David Fincher, and Wes Anderson among them—were staking out territory of their own.
20. Braveheart (1995)- Mel Gibson
“Every man dies. Not every man really lives.”
Mel Gibson was my favorite actor growing up. The Lethal Weapon series, Maverick, Ransom, The Patriot and We Were Soldiers will always be on my list of classic movies. But Braveheart topped them all. Mel Gibson directed this as well as starred, and won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director. Gibson plays William Wallace, a scot who leads his men against the ruthless English leader Edward the Longshanks, who is looking to take the crown for himself. The gorgeous scenery of Scotland illustrates beautifully behind the dark, gruesome battles between the Scots and England. Sprinkle in some tremendous acting by Gibson, you have a classic for the ages.
