    your right.

    i remember my parents dropped me off round my aunts like a bad smell and snuck off to see the movie because they thought i wouldn't be able to handle the t-rex.

    i only found out they lied to me about where they had been when i busted the popcorn in the car.

    my parents may have despised me as a child now that i think about it.

    I remember seeing it opening weekend with my cousin. We were both kids (I was 9 he was around 11) and it blew our mind. One of the great things about growing up where we did because the local movie house was a block away from my mom's apartment and they didn't card, I had seen everything from Kickboxer and T2 to White Men Can't Jump and Juice there.

    Which is how I got to see all those Jim Carrey movies in your original post as well as True Lies. Also got to see another movie that turns 20 this year (The Crow) for the same reason. Funnily enough though they wouldn't let us into Natural Born Killers or Interview with the Vampire though; there was even a strict no one under 17 sign on the posters of those joints by the theater owners themselves so the clerks at the box office wouldn't budge. Saw The Lion King on vaca while visiting fam with pops and I remember we sneaked into Gump right after. Now that I think of it I went to the movies a lot that year. 1994 was awesome.

    Carlito's Way was also from '93. It's selling point was the reunion of the actor, producer and director of Scarface 10 years later.

    Nothing but classics. This list is better than the list of best movies from the last 10 years by itself.

    sucks to be have been deprived of one of the definitive cinema experiences of the 90's...amazing how the build up to films has changed so much since then.

    i thought crow came out a couple of years later...damn i must be getting dementia,one of my favorite films of all time.

    94 is full of awesomeness.

    They gave Ed Wood on cable recently and it holds up extremely well. Never saw Reality Bites and will have to watch Fresh again since I haven't seen it since the cinema and might appreciate it the wisdom in it better now that I'm 30 but everything else in that post is classic or borderline classic. It's amazing how so many dope mainstream studio & independent movies dropped with such frequency back then. This isn't exclusive to '94 either it was pretty much a regular occurrence during the entire 1990's. I pity the people who were still babies or not even born back then. They missed out big time.

    Damn, I'm the same age as most of these movies.

    GOAT year.

    Shows the level of creativity and work put in, something most film-makers are missing nowadays imo.

    Same here. Though I watched Commando when I was around 4. Under Siege is the only movie I remember ever seeing in a theater with my mom. No sociopath here.

    Man I remember we used to rent videos at 2 bucks a pop and buy those 6 hour long blank tapes on the regular. 3 movies on one tape was the norm back then for most people with 2 or more VCR's.

    it's crazy to think that vcr's are obsolete. I haven't used a vcr in 10) yrs. I still have my old vcr and some vhs movie. also I have some boxing matches recored from hbo. Hopkins vs trinindad. Tyson vs lewis. mike Tysons greatest hits from espn classic and ali/Frasier III.
