This is a very silly but somehow a very good action movie about robbing banks, surfing, skydiving, and many other things. At one point Patrick Swayze throws a dog at Keanu Reeves.

THE BEST MAN (1999)
I’ve watched a lot of movies that were aggressively not my thing since starting this blog, but oh boy, this was a rough one.
STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY (1991)
Christopher Plummer’s Shakespeare-quoting Klingon general is one of the many highlights of this final “Original” Star Trek movie.
WAITING TO EXHALE (1995)
Some people are perfectly happy to watch movies where a bunch of women get together and complain about men and then get together or do not get together with those men. It’s not my thing.
GROUNDHOG DAY (1993)
A deep philosophical tract about the meaning of life, in which the main character keeps trying to commit suicide. Also a comedy where a groundhog drives a truck.
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994)
A wildly popular, theoretically inspirational prison drama slash… allegory? metaphor? daydream?
DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993)
Teens hang on the last day of school, 1976, in Austin, Texas. Not much happens. Mostly in a good way, I promise.
PRINCESS MONONOKE (1997)
A gorgeous animation classic that is firmly for adults, about the eternal struggle between humans and their environment.
THE GODFATHER PART III (1990)
Francis Ford Coppola recently released a re-edited version of the least-acclaimed film of his famous mafia trilogy, but how much of a difference does it make?
THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL (1992)
My favorite Christmas movie, bar none, featuring Michael Caine as Scrooge and Gonzo the Great as Charles Dickens.
