The 1990s: Ten Years, Ten Movies
By an Amazon.com customer

	The Hunt for Red October (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.08 1990: The decade starts off with a bang with one of the best action movies of all time. Better than Harrison Ford's efforts at Jack Ryan.
	Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.73 1991: More than the end of an era in American entertainment, it's the best "Star Trek" movie by far. A fitting farewell to Shatner & Co.
	Wayne's World [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 1992: If you're wondering why Lorne Michaels made "Superstar" and "The Ladies Man," this is it. No SNL-sketch movie, before or since, is better, no matter how many times they try. It's funny, too.
	Schindler's List (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.75 1993: No, it's not something to watch if you're depressed. The story is simply powerful, moving and poignant--Hollywood at its' best.
	Clerks [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 1994: Never mind it looks like it was shot on a five-digit budget (which it was); "Clerks" takes us into Kevin Smith's wonderfully demented universe.
	Apollo 13 (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.43 1995: It doesn't matter that you already know what's going to happen in this gripping drama of the space program's darkest--and finest--hour; you still cheer at the end.
	The Birdcage (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $8.99 1996: Straight or gay, this is a riot. Robin Williams is funny, Nathan Lane is hilarious, and Gene Hackman finally lands a role where his wooden personality is a plus.
	Contact (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.25 1997: True, Robert Zemeckis' interpretation of Carl Sagan's fictional masterpiece is flawed, but it is in the end a stirring reminder of where we are and where we may go from here.
	The Truman Show [VHS] Buy used from: $0.47 1998: Jim Carrey finally grows up, and he runs with it. His well-known comic talent is superbly blended with a surprising dramatic range and ability.
	American Beauty (The Awards Edition) [VHS] Buy used from: $0.01 1999: Quite simply, the best movie of '99. Kevin Spacey shows us all how un-American happiness can be, and in the end, makes us understand its' true price.
