50 Best Movies of the 1990s

By Vlad Zakh · May 6, 2026

Drama thought provoking

The nineties might be the last decade before franchises swallowed everything. The best of it is here, with The Shawshank Redemption, Schindler’s List, Forrest Gump, Fight Club and The Matrix in the top five, backed up by Goodfellas, Se7en, The Silence of the Lambs and Heat. Quite a few of these redefined what a mainstream American film could be, and most of them still hold up.
