- DirectorRichard MarquandStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebel Alliance attempt to destroy the second Death Star, while Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side.Its two predecessors are already in the Registry, so why not complete the trilogy? Sure, it's not quite as good, but I think a lot of people will agree it looks a lot better in light of the prequels.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsSam NeillLaura DernJeff GoldblumA pragmatic paleontologist touring an almost complete theme park on an island in Central America is tasked with protecting a couple of kids after a power failure causes the park's cloned dinosaurs to run loose.This film was a landmark in visual effects production in both CGI and animatronics. One of the most successful movies of the 1990's, it's still very beloved by audiences today.
- DirectorHenry SelickStarsDanny ElfmanChris SarandonCatherine O'HaraJack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town, but his attempts to bring Christmas to his home causes confusion.Visually stunning, it perfectly showcases Tim Burton's creativity. Although Disney was skeptical at first, it has been well received by audiences and developed a small cult following.
- DirectorTim BurtonStarsMichael KeatonJack NicholsonKim BasingerThe Dark Knight of Gotham City begins his war on crime with his first major enemy being Jack Napier, a criminal who becomes the clownishly homicidal Joker.This very successful film helped revive the movie-going public's interest in super hero movies after the disappointing Super Man sequels. Tim Burton masterfully brought the dark attitude of the dark knight to the big screen in a way only Christopher Nolan was able to replicate 16 years later.
- DirectorFrank CapraStarsCary GrantPriscilla LaneRaymond MasseyA Brooklyn writer of books on the futility of marriage risks his reputation after he decides to tie the knot. Things get even more complicated when he learns on his wedding day that his beloved maiden aunts are habitual murderers.A comedy classic that displays Cary Grant's comic brilliance.
- DirectorSam MendesStarsKevin SpaceyAnnette BeningThora BirchA sexually frustrated suburban father has a mid-life crisis after becoming infatuated with his daughter's best friend.A perfect example of the late Conrad L. Hall's beautiful cinematography. Adding it's very original music, perfect cast, and well written screenplay, it's simply amazing film making. One of the best of the 1990's.
- DirectorCameron CroweStarsBilly CrudupPatrick FugitKate HudsonA high-school boy in the early 1970s is given the chance to write a story for Rolling Stone magazine about an up-and-coming rock band as he accompanies them on their concert tour.Cameron Crowe uses his brilliant storytelling skills to channel his love of 1970's rock music in a way that may be nostalgic for his generation's audience, but not so nostalgic that younger generations can't appreciate its story and characters.
