    I would be sad if T2 won this tournament but I don't think it will. I also don't think it will be Shawshank of Ryan. Hopefully something equally good but better and unexpected.

    I do like both of those and I do expect Titanic to go pretty far just based on popularity and technical merit plus all the Oscars. I won't name any names yet, but one title in particular I'm thinking of was released in 1999.

    I think the overall winner of the 90's Tournament will be (and should be) one of these films:

    Terminator 2: Judgment Day
    The Matrix
    GoodFellas
    The Shawshank Redemption
    Schindler's List
    Jurassic Park
    Pulp Fiction

    Hard list to argue with. The playoff rounds will be very very interesting.

    I'm sure this won't be the first time we'll have this discussion so I'll make it a point to watch both.

    Also slightly off topic - did you ever watch Apocalypse Now?

    Yeah, I've got it. I just haven't popped it in yet. I ended up going to torrents and Netflix for so many movies, I don't look at my DVD shelf often enough.

    So long as Goodfellas doesn't win the 90's tournament, I think I'll be fine with any film that wins.

    I'm sure there's a logical explanation for that statement. Just kidding, that would be impossible.

    Both Before Sunrise and Short Cuts deserve better. And over Can't Hardly Wait? Seems like a standard '90s teen comedy. I remember it was fun but not anything special. Lauren Ambrose, of course, is awesome but the movie itself is not that memorable.

    Those are the 2 movies I want to see. Not sure if I'll be able to before the poll closes though, but I'm holding off voting for a bit.

    Ambrose went to the high school my mom works at. I remember seeing her in Oklahoma. She stole the show. Their theater program has a pretty phenomenal pedigree. Paul Giamatti, Glenn Close, Michael Douglas and Jamie Lee Curtis also went there.

    Oh wow, that's pretty cool! She was so good on Six Feet Under. One of the best TV series of all time.
