My top Ten 90's movies Top 3) The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
There was lot of hype around the Silence of lamb’s release in my home country. ( i.e. it was released after its Oscars etc. in particular it was the first horror movie to win Oscars & won many awards after long gap.) Brief plot is Foster (a junior FBI recruit) is asked by his boss to meat another serial killer Hannibal in prison to get insights in the latest killer Bill. However Hannibal is too clear to give up information. In exchanges he asks so much about Forster’ personal life & in particular her childhood etc. Ending was creepy. While FBI catches Bill, Hannibal escapes. You will see lot of gore and blood on the screen. What amaze the end viewer are superb performances by Anthony Hopkins (as Hannibal) and Jodi Foster and engaging & tight screenplay & flawless & solid direction. Definitely on of the best thriller of all time.

My top Ten 90's movies Top 5) Schindler's List (1993) My Take

Schindler's List (1993)

I have watched numerous PBS documentaries about the Holocaust & many are truly moving. However I consider Spielberg Schindler’s List is most powerful movie on this subject. The actors’ performances were superb and the direction was breathtaking & the frank presentation of the violence and indifference of the Nazi officers is amazing. Perhaps the most intense scene is when the Schindler's Female workers are sent to Auschwitz instead of his camp. Again acting is fantastic; in particular I find Ralph Fiennes' portrayal of Nazi Camp commandant is truly stunning. The black & white cinematography is apt for this kind of violence movie & it is truly spectacular. Overall, this is a must see movie for all people interested in history. Some people say it is manipulative movie but for me it is one prospective of a Holocaust subject and truth.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Brief plot of the movie is young banker was sent to prison for the murder of his cheating wife & her lover. While there in the prison, he slowly build friendship with another long term convict Morgoan Free Man. With Morgan’s help, he slowly settles down the prison system & understands & analyzes how it works. He also wins the prison head & other prison employees respect & trust by offering free tax returns & other investing banking advice etc. Whatever he does he always thinks for his freedom & getting out the prison. Whether he escapes the prison or not the rest of the story. A dramatic tale of a man efforts to get his freedom & perfect action from Freeman & Robbins and smart one liners dialogs (For ex: Get busy living, or get busy dying. ) & intelligent screenplay & direction by Frank Darabont engages the viewer for whole movie. A must see movie. I watched this movie after Frank ‘s The Green Mile. Shawshank is a good & pleasant surprise.
