Where's "Bride of Chucky"? That turns 20 as well. Young Katherine Heigl in that one.
If you go 30 years you have Rain Man, Big, Die Hard, Beetlejuice, Bull Durham, Cocktail, Dangerous Liaisons, Coming to America and other classics!
Those are a solid few lists. Saving Private Ryan, American History X and Lock Stock rise above the rest IMHO.such a great list of movies not on your list:
Rush Hour
Ronin
Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas
Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrells
Dark City
jeeez, looking ahead to 1999 films . . . may be one of the greatest years in the history of film

all due respect to the classic car chases, but I remember watching Ronin in the theater and grabbing my seat a few times during this one:
with the advent of Avengers: Infinity War opening next week, I asked people if they could name the first MARVEL film (not the first MCU film)
surprisingly, few could name Blade . . .
Were any of the Blade movies actually produced by Marvel Studios, though?with the advent of Avengers: Infinity War opening next week, I asked people if they could name the first MARVEL film (not the first MCU film)

Odd how you define Blade as the first of some odd group you created.

He's referring to Marvel Studios - the first film the released is Blade.

OK But I don't think anyone really cares.
The movie that made Marvel Studios was Iron Man. They banked their entire future on that film.
Before Blade was Howard the Duck, which could be defined as the first Marvel feature film.
Also The Punisher with Dolph was also prior to Blade.
So if you want to create a special class and ask people like it matters, sure. Blade.

I tend to be completely clueless when it comes to studio, director and oftentimes actor and movie trivia. But I loved Howard the Duck, which let’s face it wasn’t an award-worthy movie.Just saying, as a fact, Marvel Studios first licensed movie was Blade. Then X-Men. Sure, there are other 'Marvel' movies (Punisher, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Howard the Duck) which pre-date Marvel Studios, and it probably doesn't matter to many, but movie nerds like talking about this kind of stuff.

Cant speak for others but I’ll never forget the scene when the girl messed with Howard and started flirting... when his feathers started to stand up.... that and the weird alien villain are like the only things I clearly remember from it.
Can you please clarify? You say Marvel Studios made earlier movies but Blade was the first that they "licensed". What do you mean by that? I'm not a big comic book guy (or comic book movie guy) so please keep it simple. TIAJust saying, as a fact, Marvel Studios first licensed movie was Blade. Then X-Men.

I’m semi-horrified to ask... I don’t know “420” aside from marijuana, which I just looked up in urban dictionary.Hmmmm. I think this post belongs in the 420 thread.
The soundtrack of the gunfire, especially when hitting the steel tank traps as the troops landed was especially realistic and unnerving to me.I remember going to see Saving Private Ryan...went the second day it came out. I vividly recall vets in the theater crying, vets who were at Normandy. I left the theater drained, in awe of the movie. I went back 2 more times...an absolute classic. Plus, my father-in-law was a Paratrooper with the 101st Airborne and went in the nite before d-day...the movie moved more than any movie I have ever seen.
You might find this unsettling, but I have not seen even one of these movies in its entirety. I caught 1/2 of the “you've got mail” chic flick on a flight back from London. The other 4 don’t even seem interesting to me.
From 1998:

Die Hard is one of those movies I've watched a thousand times. However, my favorite movie from 1988 might just be Midnight Run. That is on the top of my list of underrated comedy films, De Nero and Grodin worked great together, some hilarious scenes.
sorry, thought I was addressing comic book nerds
hence the reason I have LdN on ignore . . . 40 years I have been collecting comic books. and 40 years of guys like him who have strong opinions about sh*t they know nothing about, LOL
Stop the presses! You IGNORE guys just because they “have strong opinions about sh*t they know nothing about?”
Sheesh. Talk about limiting thy self...
