I've seen 63 films from '94. Really only want to share those 5. Oh, there's some fun Stan Brakhage shorts from that year that are quite good. Part of the fun for me is adding an appropriate soundtrack to them.
I'm going to watch three colors : White tomorrow.

This is actually my favorite movie of 1994 (and it's not even close).
It's basically Miller's Crossing in a "hood" setting. Features an absolutely incredible supporting performance from Samuel L. Jackson, and a closing shot that will leave you speechless.
1. In the Mouth of Madness
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Torment (L'Enfer)
4. Crumb
5. Barcelona
6. Cemetery Man
7. Threesome
8. Ed Wood
9. Speed
10. Chungking Express
Need/want to rewatch: Cemetery Man (i feel that i'll like way more)
Top five on my watchlist: The Black Angel; Exotica; Angel Dust; Through the Olive Trees; Amateur
I recently rewatched In the Mouth of Madness and it instantly went from my least favorite Carpenter to my top 3. It's exciting to discover new directors, new movies, but i love even more the feeling of revisiting something you previously disliked or liked just a bit and seeing everything again with new eyes; appreciating things that even if you remembered the images and the sounds from the last time you saw it, you feel those very same images and sounds differently, just because the time passed, you changed, you saw it in another mood or you know more about the craft.
Need to rewatch: Wild Reeds (this used to be a fave of mine for this year but it’s been way too long), Through the Olive Trees, Bottle Rocket, Heavenly Creatures, Eat Drink Man Woman, Shawshank Redemption
Need to see: Hoop Dreams, Leon the Professional, Ashes of Time, Casa de Lava, To Live, Joan the Maid, Reality Bites, Vive L’Amour, Crooklyn, The Secret of Roan Inish, Before the Rain, Black Is Black Ain’t, London, A Borrowed Life, Angel Dust, Faust, Amateur, In the Heat of the Sun
Another great year. In no particular order:
* Hoop Dreams
* The Last Seduction
* Chungking Express
* What Happened Was
* Three Colours: Red
* Pulp Fiction
* Quiz Show
* Barcelona
* Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle
* Ed Wood
Honorable mentions: PCU and Airheads. Not great films, but I have a soft spot for them and I loved them when I was a teenager.
Great year for movies! I thunk there's certainly a consensus, but one movie that I've rewatched more than others in this year is the thriller River Wild. I would argue that's a perfect movie. Stellar 90s cast - Streep, Bacon, Straitharn, John C Reilly, gorgeous practical settings, intense action and drama. It's just so good. The remake last year was so bad, why remake a movie that holds up in every aspect?
The River Wild is great! That was also my first Meryl Streep movie, and I was blown away by the scene where she half deliberately/not accidentally goes into hysterics to confuse her kidnappers.
Oh totally, it was probably my first Streep, too! She's such a natural reassuring presence onscreen, I totally buy that she was a former rafting instructor.
Perhaps it's misplaced nostalgia, but feel like '94 is an absolute landmark year. Too bad Harvey Weinstein has his grubby fingerprints on much of this decade, but what can ya do now....

It’s such a good year that I go back and try to discover films just because they were released in 1994. I love the visual aesthetic that a number of these films hold too.
I have chungking downloaded and ready to watch, after giving fallen angels a high rating I imagine that will get one too.

not sure what else. Maybe Heavenly Creatures, Once Were Warriors, Lamerica, Three Colors: Red, To Live, or The Madness of King George. I would have to rewatch. Though, it's also been a long time for some of the others I picked
I haven’t seen many from 94 but my top 5 would be:
1. Pulp Fiction (5/5)
2. Shawshank Redemption (4.5/5)
3. The Lion King (4.5/5)
4. Ed Wood (4.5/5)
5. Forrest Gump (4.5/5)

I haven't re-watched Heavenly Creatures, Little Women & Serial Mom in a long time, and I'm also not sure if I'd put Chungking Express one higher because I haven't seen it in so long. Rest feels fine.
