Dreamcatcher, Jay and Silent Bob, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Spiderman all came out in the 2000's.

And the 70's, the original Chainsaw Masacre was around '74. That house (Ed Gein's house, the real guy) is not far from here, it's in the same county I live in. The movie(s) had little to do with the reality of Gein's atrocities. In real life he was trying to make a "woman costume" out of the skin of females. This inspired the fictional "Buffalo Bill" in The Silence Of The Lambs. I saw a film of him being interviewed by a psychiatrist once, the guy was off his rocker.

I've read the true Ed Gein story...man, that was one effed up oedipal dude.
Movies I also loved from this much maligned decade: Sense & Sensibility The Piano Reservoir Dogs, Pulp & Jackie Brown The Usual Suspects Cinema Paradiso Goodfellas Fargo
I'm glad you guys like the '90s too...life is too short to keep wishing for things that won't come back. I life to reflect & laugh at the past, but the best is always yet to come.

There is a list of top 90's favorites on here already, but I thought of another one that I really liked, and was probably about the last movie I enjoyed watching at the movies, and that was:
The Game-with Michael Douglas

Hey lab, I noticed you liked True Lies. I also thought that was a very cool show. I liked the way the opening sort of payed tribute to Sean Connery in Goldfinger. They both came out of the water wearing a diving suit with a white tux jacket on under it. Arnald lights up a cigar like Connery lit up a cigarette just as the place explodes in the background and they stroll right out of the front gate. I think they should have kept making sequels to this one. Harry Tasker could have become a household name like James BOnd. I liked the chemestry between Schwarzenegger and Tom Arnald. They worked great together. And then the mighty James Cameron directed it... One of my favorite Schwarzenegger films after the Terminator franchise.

I thought the Shawshank Redemption was a very good movie. I also liked Terminator 2 and The Matrix. The Phantom was cool. I thought they did a pretty decent job bringing the Phantom to the big screen.
