My Ultimate 90s Cinema Picks That Changed How I See Film 🎬

Wong Kar-wai's dreamy Hong Kong tale hits different when you're also living abroad! Those neon lights, random encounters, and that California Dreamin' soundtrack... pure magic! 🍍

First saw this in a midnight screening and mate, my mind was BLOWN! The way Tarantino plays with time, those convos about foot massages and hamburgers... 🍔 Nobody does cool like the 90s did cool. Every rewatch I notice something new!

Actually the whole trilogy is amazing! Kieslowski's meditation on loss and liberty. Binoche's performance is just one of her best. The way music and visuals blend together... Sometimes I just put this on late at night when it feels too quiet. Pure poetry on screen 🎵

Scorsese at his finest! That one-take through the kitchen scene? Pure cinema! The energy, the music, the performances... When people ask why I love films, this is one of my go-to examples. Ray Liotta's laugh is forever iconic 🤌

Satoshi Kon's masterpiece that proves animation isn't just for kids. This psychological thriller about fame and identity still feels relevant today. Proper mind-bending stuff that influenced many Hollywood films later! 🎭

Anthony Hopkins gives me chills every single time. The psychological chess game between Lecter and Clarice is just *chef's kiss*. Fun fact: I couldn't eat liver with fava beans for years after this 😅

Remember watching this on a dodgy VHS tape? The effects STILL hold up! Cameron really knew how to blend action with heart. 'I know now why you cry' - who's chopping onions? 🤖

Some films stay with you forever. This is one of them. Spielberg created something beyond just a movie - it's a piece of history we must never forget. That girl in the red coat... Still gives me goosebumps thinking about it.

Raw, powerful, and sadly still relevant. The black and white cinematography of Paris' suburbs is unforgettable. Reminds me why cinema can be such a powerful voice for change. That ending though... 🖤

First rule... well, you know 🧼 I’ve always been a Fincher fan, but this is the first one I fall in love with. Fincher's style + Palahniuk's story = mindblown! The kind of film that makes you question everything. Plus, young Brad Pitt's chaotic energy is just *chef's kiss*.

Chen Kaige's epic spanning 50 years of Chinese history through Beijing opera. Leslie Cheung's performance still haunts me. Showed this to my British mates and they finally understood why this has become one of my favourite films.

Changed the game forever! Not just the effects (though they're insane considering the production year), but the way it blends philosophy, kung fu, and sci-fi. Red pill or blue pill? Oh and that iconic green!
