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!
