The late 90's


There seemed be quite a few pop movies I really enjoyed in the late 90's, but never had a huge desire to ever watch again. Certainly not all the way through.

Now, the late 90's are starting to seem kind of old. I'm getting more and more nostalgic. It sort of makes me want to watch these movies again.

Care to explain to me what was so wrong with those "pop movies" in the '90s? We could probably name most of the characters in most of the movies back then.

Clarice Starling (Silence of The Lambs)
Hannibal Lecter (Silence of The Lambs)
The Terminator or T-800 (Terminator 2: Judgment Day)
Sarah Connor (Terminator 2)
John Connor (Terminator 2)
The T-1000 (Terminator 2)
Miles Dyson (Terminator 2)
William Munny or Money (Unforgiven)
Oskar Schindler (Schindler's List)
Amon (Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List)
Dr. Alan Grant (Jurassic Park)
Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jurassic Park)
Forrest Gump (Forrest Gump)
Vincent Vega (Pulp Fiction)
Butch (Pulp Fiction)
Jules (Pulp Fiction)
Marseilles Wallace (Pulp Fiction)
Lieutenant Dan Taylor (Forrest Gump)
Red (The Shawshank Redemption)
Andy Dufrane (The Shawshank Redemption)
William Wallace (Braveheart)
Jerry Maguire (Jerry Maguire)
John McClane (Die Hard With A Vengeance) [I know this character was previously introduced and made iconic]
Jack Dawson (Titanic)
Rose DeWitt Bukator (Titanic)
Caledon Hockley (Titanic)

Will Hunting (Good Will Hunting)
Captain Miller (Saving Private Ryan)

Now, can you give me a list of all the characters from 2000 to now?? Is it going to be as thick as this list??

I was two years out of high school when this came out so my football days were fresh in my memory. For years I was offended by the over-the-top portrayal of the sport. Now that I have aged and gained perspective, I understand this movie is an effing awesome in its ridiculousness.

I saw Varsity Blues way back in 1999-2000. I ended up watching it again in 2019 strictly for nostalgic reasons. Can’t believe it was 20 years ago.

I´m watching it now because its on TV. Very hard to believe it´s 20 years old but then again I graduated in 2000, it does seem like an eternity ago.
