Ending scene for "American Beauty" 1999
"...It's hard to stay mad when there is so much beauty in the world... I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life..."

Argubaly the 1990's was the Golden Age of film. So many greats which would never have been made 10-15 years later:
The Matrix
Ghost in the Shell
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
Resevoir Dogs
Silence of The Lambs
Jurassic Park
Truman Show
Braveheart
Unforgiven
Saving Private Ryan
I could go on and on. Suffice to say there's more variety and quality in that brief list than the shitty reboots we've had to put up with in the last decade.
@UncleIroh @sardonicsmile although I’m kinda young and didn’t live through the 90s, I can agree that the 80s and 90s had really good sci-fi and action movies. I loved Resevoir Dogs, Jurassic Park, Fight Club and Saving Private Ryan (though I might be more biased towards Saving Private Ryan because I love WWII stuff), but also you’re forgetting Good Fellas and Casino and Heat I believe.
Didn't forget, just ran out of space. Those films are also awesome. The list could go on for ages.
Sure, I'm not saying that quality dropped off a cliff as soon as we hit the 2000's. There's plenty of good shit in the 2000's, it's just that pound for pound the 90's left us with more gems.
@UncleIroh @sardonicsmile but the 2000s and the 2010s had some gems, I like the Irishmen and the new planet of the apes trilogy, and the Many Saints of Newark (The Sopranos prequel) was pretty good.
