Reviews: 95-91

Movies 95-91 are reviewed below, and this has been appended to the original post.

95. The Last Picture Show (1971) - Holy crap. I can't believe I've never seen this before or heard of it. A pseudo-"coming of age" story set in a boring Texas town, but so much more than that. I can't describe. Everyone should see this once. Five Stars

94. Pulp Fiction (1994) - It's Pulp fucking Fiction. Five Stars

93. The French Connection (1971) - What was that? Just...boring. Perhaps it hasn't aged well is the problem but it just did not hold my attention at all. Even the vaunted car chase was yawnworthy. No stars

92. Goodfellas (1990) - As far back as I can remember, I've always loved this movie. Brilliant little film about the gangster life. If there's a flaw (IF) it's that the first quarter to first half aren't a cohesive plot driven story so much as a collection of vignettes watching Hill grow up. That's so minor the flick still gets Five Stars.

91. Sophie's Choice (1982) - There's a whole host of movies which exist and for my whole life have heard they were great, but nonetheless avoided watching for various reasons. In this case, it just didn't look like my kind of movie. Boy was I wrong. Meryl Steep, Kevin Kline, & Peter MacNicol all turned in amazing performances in a powerful story. Simply amazing. Five stars isn't enough for this film. Hell, Streep earned five stars just for the "choice" scene.
