My top Ten 90's movies Top 7) Jurassic Park (1993) My Take

Jurassic Park (1993)

Jurassic Park is one of those films which everyone has heard, watched & enjoyed with whole families. This movie was release during my master’s studies & I watched it twice during first few weeks of the movie release. One of the Spielberg greatest achievements in his carrier. With its breath taking blend of CGI, outstanding animation, viewers are completely blown across the planet. Since this movie watched by many, I will write very little abut the movie. Brief plot is, billionaire John Hammond, has dream to own the most spectacular theme park on the planet. Jurassic Park, a park filled with living, breathing dinosaurs. To convince this park is safe; he invites few scientists to the remote island. However a security breach, few T-Rexes missing etc. leads uncalled events. Perfect cast, amazing locations & perfect CGI& effective script mesmerize the viewer. The scene of the T-Rex attacking the car is one of the most spectacular scenes in movie & hunts for a while & I remember that scene whenever I remember this movie.

My top Ten 90's movies Top 8) Se7en (1995) My Take

Se7en (1995)

This great thriller is about a serial killer (Kevin Spacey) and his seven victims who represent the Seven deadly sins. Two detectives (Morgan Freeman & Brad Pitt) have been assigned to investigate this case. Rarely will you see near perfect film. Seven comes under that category. The camera angles are cool, the chase scenes are suspenseful, and the investigation is clever. But what really makes this one of my favorite films, is of course, the ending. Without a doubt one of the most unexpected, uncompromising, and mind-blowing & shocking endings ever. I can't remember a film that ends on a more downbeat note. First time I liked Brad Pitt’s action.

My top Ten 90's movies Top 9) Titanic(1997) My take

Titanic(1997)

There are few movies which lives & beats the hype & high expectations. Titanic is one of them. Incidentally Titanic is my first movie in US on screen. I watched couple of James Cameron movies before this one & I have very high expectation on this movie. It was all time big budget film at that time & hype & publicity reached new scale with this movie. This is one of the most watched movies on this planet so I will not write more about this movie. A near perfect background for dramatic tragic lovestory. With Superb costumes, cast, near perfect screenplay & very rich production values, Titanic is one of the most impressive films of all time.

The sinking itself is one of the great set pieces in all of cinema. We know the outcome of the event before we even walk into the film, but Cameron manages to craft a scene this is tense, horrific, and suspensful. He flawlessly manages the huge set he has built, the thousands of extras, and his digital integration is seamless. Also another great plus point is its great & massive success of its music. First time I saw lot of people crying in the theater. Definitely a great first movie experience in US. I watched one more time after first viewing.

My top Ten 90's movies Top 10) FARGO (1996) My take

FARGO (1996)

Before writing about this movie, a note about this films locations. FARGO tale takes place in North Dakota & Minnesota in a winter time. This is story about a troubled car salesman’s hire two ex-cons to kidnap his wife for a ransom(which will be paid by the rich & bullying wifes father) Again rules are very clear i.e. no rough stuff & everything must go smooth & share the ransom. However bizarre and uncalled sequence of events leads unthinkable number of murders. From the beginning to the end, you will find very interesting & engaging characters and you will see how a simple crime completely out of control in a brutal way. Actor France as pregnant deputy sheriff is one of the most engaging character ever created by Coen brothers. Against icy background & brilliant visuals, you will see master full work of Coen brothers. The screenplay is perfect, the acting is perfect, and the pacing is perfect. It is haunting and powerful at times little funny and touching movie.

My top Ten 90's movies continued American Beauty (1999) My take

Unexpectedly pulled in to some customer crisis at work so did not get much time to watch new movies or update the blog. Yes. My life will like this for three or four weeks in a year. No strange, event I don’t open my e-mails & any other websites. I am hoping that I will finish my current top10 list and all time top 10 French movies in the next few weeks. Again it is hope.

Now coming to the list one more movie in to honorable movie list.

American Beauty (1999)

Movie start with back-ground narration by actor Kevin spacey “this is my neighborhood, this is my street and this is my life” as camera movies over the street before landing in to his house. American beauty as is dark comedy abuts what life is really like for those people supposed living in American dream. (It is not about lack things but about the unhappy, unfulfilled and dissatisfied people. In one word disconnected people.) In particular, I like the way Kevin Spicy character, a man’s mid life crisis, engages you whole movie. Absolutely a classic movie a debut director.
