Back to the 90s!

I was just looking at the director's other films and Underground caught my eye. Time of the Gypsies is highly rated too, that title sounds familiar, I wonder if it was ever a nom in an HoF...too lazy to go and look

I'll give the dog . Helen Hunt was pretty good here and as my friend Gideon would point out she won a Best Actress Oscar for her performance as a single mother waitress being pursued by a bat-ass-crazy and way nasty Jack Nicholson. I liked Greg Kinear as a nice guy, gay artist who has to endure gay bashing from his next door apartment neighbor Jack Nicholson. The insults get ugly and I don't believe I've ever said this before but I'll say it now, this film hasn't aged well. It's suppose to be a romantic comedy but egads, could there ever be a worse romantic match between Helen Hunt and psycho abuser Jack Nicholson. Why this is rated 7.7 on IMDB is beyond me. I did like the ballsiness of the story at first, but Nicholoson's over the top character wore me out. Then the movie creeped me out when Helen Hunt falls for him.


90s movie #36

I'm glad you saw this movie during the preliminary period.

It might make my ballot.

Easily my favorite movie of the thread, although I haven't seen it in quite a while. I considered picking it for you in the past in the Personal Rec HoF, good that I didn't.

Stay tuned, I'm still shooting for 100.

Dry land is not a myth. I've seen it. Kevin Costner. Waterworld. I don't know what all the fuss was about. I saw that movie six times. It rules!

In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

I'm curious as to what the movie industry would have become if Waterworld had Titanic level success. What type of movie world would we live in today?

Count me among the Waterworld fans but at the top of my list? No. Just too much 90’s goodness.

Is there a moment in a movie more funny and disturbing at the same time then when Costner picks up Tina Majorino and tosses her into the ocean because she’s annoying him?

No doubt lol

I'm really wanting to see the extended version of Waterworld... 'Waterworld Ulysses Cut', which adds 40 minutes. Anybody see that? Better yet were can I find it besides buying it.

Waterworld needs the votes! Let's face everybody is voting for the biggies. Waterworld can use all of your votes!

If you can prove to me everyone is voting for The Mirror and Maborosi I will join you.

The Mirror and Maborosi sounds pretty good. You should pop into the 90s Group Watch, watch a film or two that appeals to you and if you're chosen to select the next movie, that would be a good one and I'd watch it, maybe it would even make my ballot.

I enjoy Waterworld but haven't seen it in quite awhile. I'm thinking I might need to do a Kevin Costner movie marathon like I used to do when I was a kid.

I actually haven't figured out my list yet, but probably most of the biggies aren't my favorites.
