death is amorous keeps the hair and dark
to be his paramour in addition to
showcasing the talents of Leonardo
DiCaprio and Claire Danes who speak the
lines from the original text the film
gives everyone their fix of Baz
Luhrmann’s inventive imagination I
dreamt a dream tonight and so did I what
was your that dreamers often live his
immediately recognizable style of bright
neon flare works surprisingly well with
the bards most famous love story and
remains a psychedelic sensory experience
number eight mission impossible
we are going to recover that disk you

go before remakes and updates of TV
shows became so tiresome in common
Brian DePalma brought us his version of
this popular 60s espionage drama and you
really think we can do this we’re going
to do it with the star power of Tom
Cruise and Jon Voight there was no doubt
that this action thriller would become a
box-office success
Kittridge I see you been out visiting
the folks the public who expected a
cheesy 60s throwback spy fest was
instead treated to a shocking surprising
and beyond thrilling experience as they
watched what has become one of the most
quintessential action films of all time
cementing Tom Cruise is an action star
the now iconic pressure room scene and
train climax will go down in history as
some of the best 90s cinema had to offer
number seven The Hunchback of nuts to
them
in 1996 Walt Disney Pictures was riding
the huge wave of their cinematic
Renaissance boasting huge successes like
Aladdin and the Lion King though it was
already a difficult task to follow such
massive blockbusters it was perhaps even
harder to create a kid-friendly animated
version of Victor Hugo’s dark gothic
tale of obsession and destructive love
well it’s not just me there’s the
gargoyles of course the balance would
you like to see Disney however struck
gold once more and gave the world one of
the most beautiful and thrilling epics
of the year the directors of Beauty and
the Beast returned to the world of
animation and with an all-star cast gave
audiences a heartwarming tour of Paris
with memorable songs joining the other
classics in the Disney cannons
number six The Birdcage perhaps one more
schnecken for the road do you mind my
mannequin beckons it should come as no
surprise that the funniest movie of 1996
was a Robin Williams farce yes well you
know the old saying where there’s sand
the subject matter however shocked the
world as the story revolves around
Williams playing a gay drag club owner
the one the only the in the film is an
American take on the revolutionary
French comedy now cash Oh fun which was
in turn an adaptation of the jean-paul
Goude play it’s American adaptation
balance is being uproarious without
opting for offensive stereotypes
creating a comedy of errors in which a
gay couple tries to play it straight for
their sons stuck-up future in-laws what
we really need is a woman we can get
away with Albert as an uncle if we had a
woman as a mother ironic isn’t it when
you need a woman the premise is comedy
gold and the performances by Williams
his on-screen husband played by Nathan
Lane and the rest of the cast are
nothing short of riotous I’m leaving you
my stereo no my red boots the one and my
wigs wish we my best week number five
the rock it was classified the 90s
action movie scene had a surprising star

world now knew what to expect from a
Michael Bay action packed extravaganza
but they didn’t know that Oscar winner
Nicolas Cage would be so at home
shooting up bad guys with the likes of
Sean Connery
what seemed like a convoluted and
ridiculous plot about ex-marine
terrorists taking over the defunct
Alcatraz prison also manages to meditate
on military politics and the United
States treatment of their soldiers and
veterans we know why you’re out here God
knows I agree with you but like you I

love with the only woman who believed in
him but maybe
