We see twin movies in almost every year it seems, 1995 had Kevin Spacey interrogated by cops TWICE on this list, French Kiss, meet Forget Paris, and of course Rob Roy and Braveheart! But, there are SIX Cyberpunkish movies in this year; Russell Crowe became real, Keanu had an 80G storage capacity, and Sandra was able to begin boring me with everything she'll ever do in perpetuity, we got to see Angelina Jolie for the first time (no, I saw Cyborg 2!) and did I mention Strange Days? The only one to get to the next round was the anime.
I was the guy doing the layouts on our college paper that year, and there were two big benefits to that; an all expense paid trip to the collegiate journalists conference in Washington DC and demanding that I got to go to the press screening of Goldeneye. The sound was a bit screwed up, and when Brosnan fires that grapple gun at the start of the movie, it was physically shocking to everyone in attendance... just way too loud, just a few minutes later the sound was turned down to less than deafening, but I could have cared less. Bond was back, and back then a six year absence felt near enough to eternal.
But, the winner of the year. That movie poster hangs above my living room couch. It was one of, if not completely, my fathers favorite movie. We saw it at Ronnies 8 on a screen that we were making fun of for being only slightly larger than our 46" TV at home. I swear he didn't initially love it, but later he practically wore the VHS copy out. As for me, I still think Aaron Sorkin is the best dialogue writer in Hollywood; he has every other screenwriter asking each other how to spell erudite.
