Best 90s Movie Bracket - Final Four




Here we are, at the Final Four of the Best 90s Movie Bracket!  And what an impressive collection of movies it is.  We have pioneers in special effects and animation, a prison drama based on a Stephen King novella, and the movie that launched Matt Damon and Ben Affleck into super stardom.  While the Cinderella run of Home Alone finally came to an end, I still think the biggest surprise is Good Will Hunting making it this far after taking down another juggernaut in Schindler’s List.  With that victory and Shawshank beating Silence of the Lambs, there are no more Best Picture winners remaining in the field.  But that doesn’t mean the remaining films aren’t great, and clearly, they each have the popular vote on their side as most of the winners did so in runaway fashion.  The only match up decided by less than ten votes was Toy Story over Home Alone.  Now looking ahead, we have two intriguing match ups to determine the championship.  Toy Story versus Jurassic Park in a match up of groundbreaking films that changed the course of animation and special effects, respectively.  And Good Will Hunting versus The Shawshank Redemption in a battle of underdog dramas.  But enough waxing poetic, let’s vote!
