1995 in film. • Page 3

It’s nudie magazine day!

 

I think Billy Madison is still great but I also think most old Jim Carrey films hold up.

 

1994 is considered one of those holy film years but 1995 might be even better tbh.

Toy Story is one of the most important and influential films of my entire life (the sequel even more so) so I may have to say its best of the year... but there are so many bangers that I discovered later in life.

Not going to do a ranking, but simply list some of the important films from this year:

Toy Story (John Lassetter)
Heat (Michael Mann)
Before Sunrise (Richard Linklater)
Fallen Angels (Wong Kar Wai)
Casino (Martin Scorsese)

I am watching La Haine

 

I'll be honest I don't think I have seen any movie from 1995 more times than I have seen Heavyweights. Out of all the comedies that year I think that holds up the most. It might be the perfect PG family comedy.

 

Do it to it, Lars.

 

Oh look, a deli meat

 

Also the humor in Heavyweights punched up so well that I think it is one of the few comedies of that era where you can't watch back and not cringe at parts.

I just watched a clip from Major Payne...jesus.

 

Those are all correct.

 

Possession is brilliant

 

I am watching Fair Game starring Billy Baldwin and Cindy Crawford. It is better than most 2024 films that I’ve watched.

 

A forgotten gem where Middle School me was excited to see a topless Cindy Crawford but as an adult I realized it was a body double as Cindy’s face wasn’t in the shot. But I gotta give credit for it having the most mid90s action movie trailer
