Daylight is one of the best disaster movies ever made.
It's an incredible example of classic '90s effects, large-scale sets, miniatures, and stunt work. The craft on display is insane!
District 9 is about apartheid and it's not subtle. Set in Johannesburg with direct parallels to segregation and forced relocation, the allegory is the foundation of everything.
The running scene in Forrest Gump used to seem funny when I was a kid. As an adult, it's the saddest part. Forrest runs for three years because he doesn't know how to process grief and that is truly understandable.
Neill Blomkamp shot District 9 in real Johannesburg slums with a $30 million budget. Documentary style, practical locations, incredible CGI, this is filmmaking efficiency at its best.
District 9's prawns are grotesque on purpose. They're designed to make you uncomfortable, and then force you to see them as people anyway.
National Treasure works because it commits fully to its adventure tone and never apologizes for being fun.

Darkman is the perfect example of a movie that only could have been made in the 90s and thats honestly why it is so much fun.
Madmartigan is the perfect lovable rogue. Charismatic, flawed, and unforgettable. And Val Kilmer portrays him perfectly.
Darkman is chaotic, tragic, and wildly creative. A superhero movie that takes real risks and I want more movies like this now.
Some reasons why Rob Reiner’s Stand By Me stands out as one of culture’s most beloved movies almost 40 years later.
National Treasure works because it embraces adventure with sincerity, charm, and pure fun while being completely ridiculous.
