They signed their names. When I sorted the numbers in Excel, I expected either Jurassic Park, or Phantom Menace, Hunt for Red October, or Galaxy Quest to grab the top spot. But instead of the dawn of CG's dominance in effects or the return of Star Wars, a goodbye took the top score out of the most like 180 movies of a decade. Although, from viewing one, I can't think of a bad thought I've ever had about this movie, maybe I'm just whitewashing my memory to justify the result.
- Jurassic Park... (What, could have had the aviary? please self, you're a whore for Jurassic Park!)
- Contact? Yes, The beach and the dad are a letdown to my inner 5 year old who wants to see aliens...
- The American President... Okay, no complaints there either, although for awhile I think I enjoyed it more in (impending blasphamy... 3, 2, 1...) in Pan & Scan!! But that just shows how much my father watched the VHS of it [ A: Daily ;) ]. There were some times he'd rewind it, and play it again.
- Episode I... No! I won't say one bad thing about Star Wars episode I. Only because I remember a time when there was more negative speech about that movie on the internet than porn, and The Matrix was the next big thing. But, I think I found forgiveness on this decade round for The Matrix.
