According to the new CEO, the film just wasn’t good and fans didn’t deserve to get it so the work was “thrown in the trash” and Warner gets a tax deduction.

The actor Ray Liottawho plays protagonist Henry passed away recently and a review of the film is a great way to honor him.
And if the article above is considered by many to be the best mafia movie of all time, here we have a copy that qualifies as the best western of all time. It is certainly the best in the opinion of the one who speaks to you. Here we have the masterpiece of Clinton Eastwood also considered the last great Western of cinema and the last of the genre in the traditional sense in which the veteran clint has worked. Here Eastwood produces, directs and plays Bill Munny, a character who is the epitome of all the others the actor plays in films like this.

He married and started a family, retired from the shootings. But with his wife dying and his farm nearly bankrupt, he has one last big job to do. But you’re going to have a tough sheriff ahead of you. The Unforgivables won the Oscar for Best Picture and so did the cast Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman.

We already had the best mafia movie and the best movie western on the list. Now it’s time for the best prison movie for the vast majority of moviegoers. Not only that, A dream of freedom It is still the alltime favorite movie for users of the largest movie site on the internet, IMDB. Based on a story by StephenKingthe feature tells the story of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbin), the new inmate of the fictional Shawshank Maximum Security Prison in Maine in the 1940s. The point is that Andy swears he is innocent and was wrongly convicted of killing his wife, whom he discovered he betrayed would have. He faces the dilemmas of the place, confronts the strictness and corruption of the prison warden, and even manages to befriend several inmates, most notably Red Morgan Freeman.
Among the mustsee films of the 90s, it is clear that a production by the director could not be missing. Quentin Tarantino. And she comes with what many still consider her best film. What is undeniable was that pulp fiction arrived as a turning point in the filmmaker’s career and would change cinema forever. The film was revolutionary and highly influential and still bears fruit today with its storytelling style. If it weren’t for the touch Tarantino, the feature would be just another mafia genre. It turns out that the director and screenwriter was able to bring his unique touch to the storyline, where the characters spoke in a natural and uncompromising way, as if they were real people like you and me and not characters in a movie. This was the spice introduced by Tarantino in pulp fictionwhere criminals arrive to kill a disaffected person and before discussing everyday facts like foot massages.
This list is definitely full of great iconic seventh art moments that are admired and studied to this day. Everything included in HBO Max to enjoy at the touch of a finger. The 90’s contained some of Hollywood’s most iconic movies of all decades and when we talked about romance, ten out of ten moviegoers would mention it. before dawn in the top 10 of all time. Written and directed by Richard Linklatera filmmaker known for his candid and realistic view of young people’s behavior realizes a simple premise here, but surely that was the dream of many young people: to fall in love with a stranger in an exotic country while traveling. Ethan Hawke is an American boy who falls in love with a French girl (role of Julia Delpy) on a train in Vienna. The two spend a whole day together until the next morning. The film spawned two sequels ten years apart.
We’ve had good examples of genres like Mafia, Western, Prison, and Romance on the list so far. Now it’s the turn of an excellent court drama which is not considered one of the great examples of its subgenre for nothing, which addresses a very dignified and still very much on the agenda: structural racism. It was even worse in the ’90s, even more so when we talk about the US South, a region that defended slavery and crooked thoughts are still ingrained in its society. In this scenario, a black man (Samuel L Jackson) must take the law into his own hands after his daughter was raped and nearly murdered by two white men who would get away with crimes. It is up to the idealistic advocate that is lived Matthew McConaughey defend him from the death penalty. The film served as a turning point in the actor’s career and introduced him to the world. And so does the cast Sandra Bullock in what many consider his finest film.
Now we have another master in charge of this work, Paul Thomas Anderson. Here, the filmmaker decides to invest behind the scenes in the porn industry at the height of its boom: the 1970s, when this type of erotic production even made it to the big screen and grossed millions. The film is also a love letter to one of Hollywood’s most underrated veterans, the late badass Burt Reynolds who here wins the role of his life in the skin of a producer of the porn world with a good heart. boogie nights nor served to reveal Mark Wahlbergwho lives the protagonist, a young man blinded by this world and made a star by… his dowry.
Above as I mentioned time to killI managed to omit the presence of the “damn”. Kevin Spacey in the cast, as other actors have more important roles in the feature film than he does. But here this task will be more difficult, taking this into account spacey takes on the leading role in this still very expensive work by the director Sam Mendes (1917). As much as Spacey is an ungrateful figure for anyone and everyone these days, we shouldn’t completely disregard the movies he’s been in after all, a movie production is the work of several other people, no matter how villainous some lead roles are. Here, as a father, he lives like in the margarine trade. But it is only at second glance that we notice the massive cracks in this structure. Annette Bening steals many of the scenes in his wife’s role.
Speaking of directors who were true masters of cinema, one who will consistently rank in the lists of nine out of ten cinephiles and professionals of the medium Stanley Kubrick. In the syllabus of this legend of the seventh art are some of the most treasured masterpieces of all time and still much discussed, such as: 2001 A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, lolita and The lit. The 90’s brought us his last work as the director passed away before he could finish seeing the result of his farewell song. it’s about the movie eyes wide closed, an incursion into the underworld of a Kubrickimagined New York, where the rich and powerful meet for carnal encounters in a very private club. A world alien to the populace and owned only by a select few. In the middle of one of the strangest nights of his life, the doctor played by Tom cruise. After his wife’s admission of treason, he plays for his thenwife in real life Nicole Kidmanthe subject decides to “get lost” in the city, where it will be not only the most unusual night of his life, but also the most dangerous.
To conclude the list of outstanding films of the 90s, we now have one that is still iconic today and, more than 20 years after its debut, is aging like a good wine. As a matter of fact, fight clubin David Fincheris gaining more and more new fans over time, and new generations are rediscovering it with each new cycle. fight club It was also one of those revolutionary films and way ahead of its time which would easily transfer its plot to the time we currently live in, reinforcing its timeless qualities. In the history, Edward Norton plays an apathetic young man with no joy in his life, dividing his time between work and home, following the flow of what normative society intended for him. Then he meets Tyler, the character from Brad Pitt, the two become friends and soon the sparks fly from this explosive mixture. To relieve the stress of everyday life, the duo creates Fight Club, a place where ordinary people can meet. However, this is only the first step in an anarchic revolution by the working proletariat.
