I mean I just look back and remember all the great films of that decade. Almost all of my favorite films came out during the 90s. We don't get great movies anymore

    That movie had quotes lmao

    "Control your hood"

    My favorite line is when Geenie Lamp's bodyguard pushed the plate of white lines to O.G. Killer Bobby Johnson like, "You heard what the man said, ? " lmao

    I was a teen and early 20der. in the 90's. from 90-99 i was 14-23. I dont know if they were great movies because i was young and impressionable or were they really classics. since i grew up on them, they are classics to me. IMO. Did they win any oscar nods? not so much. how about golden globes or NAACP's? (image award nominations)
