List created both based on box-office success but also reputation and popularity a quarter of a century later. Critical reception also considered but not a primary factor.
This is also about your subjective favorite, not what you objectively consider the best film of the year.
Jim Carrey films:
Ace Venture: Pet Detective
Dumb & Dumber
The Mask
Other films to consider:
Clear & Present Danger
Four Weddings & A Funeral
Il Postino: The Postman
Interview With the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles
The Jungle Book
Legends of the Fall
The Madness of King George
Maverick
Quiz Show
Satantango (Satan's Tango)
Speed
Three Colors: Red (Trois Couleurs: Rouge)
To Live (Huozhe)
Likely considered the most stacked theatrical year of the decade, this one could prove difficult to choose from, with so many classics both in the States and internationally that making a complete list would take hours to compile. The sheer quantity of films that defined the decade are just jaw-dropping.
One of the biggest animated box-office smashes of all-time, with Disney introducing a f***ing murderer as the villain and teaching children how to cope with tragedy and betrayal.
The MVP of In Living Color breaking out with not one, not two, but THREE of the most popular comedy films of the entire decade.
A gritty, grungy, tragic vigilante tale, creating a template that very few would be able to successfully replicate in the future, one of the most remarkable noteworthy posthumous releases for a star performer.
A special bond developed between two incredibly down-to-earth men who went through absolute hell in prison, giving hope to and inspiring those when all seems to have been lost.
A special story about a very real person dealt a bad biological hand who managed to witness much of the most important times in American history, with one of the absolute finest performances of the decade in the lead role.
An international film that is among the gold-standard in mentor/protege relationships, becoming a true cult classic as the years have passed.
And oh yeah, one of Hollywood's fledgling directors, two years after an under-the-radar gem featuring some of the most memorable dialogue ever, makes his true commercial breakout with even more impressive dialogue and scenarios, in the process rejuvenating the stock of two fallen Hollywood stars, while also serving as the catapult of one of the biggest icons of the past two decades.
Have fun with this one.
