After looking over the '91 releases I think The Silence of the Lambs is probably my favorite or top movie from that year. 9 year old me would choose something like: T2: Judgment Day TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze Hook Drop Dead Fred What About Bob?
At the time, probably these: TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Beauty and the Beast The Naked Gun 2 1/2 The Addams Family Honorable Mention: Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead.
The Silence of the Lambs The Silence of the Lambs The Silence of the Lambs The Silence of the Lambs Cool as Ice
14 year old me in 1991: Point Break Boyz N TheHood The Doors New Jack City T2 honorable mentions: SOTL The People Under the Stairs career Opportunities
Silence of the Lambs New Jack City Cape Fear Boyz In The Hood Naked Lunch Thelma and Louise should be on that list but I have never seen the entire movie. This was a great movie year.
I couldn't stop at 5. In no particular order (I likely forgot one or two and a couple are "guilty pleasures"): K2 Silence of the Lambs Cape Fear (the remake) Point Break The Fisher King Terminator 2 Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Proof Zandalee True Colors Naked Lunch (thanks for the reminder, @jiggyfly)
I missed that Point Break came out that year it would replace Cape Fear. Yeah Naked Lunch made a huge impact on me I could not understand a lot of the movie but it was still fascinating. I started reading a lot of weird sci-fi stuff after that and sought those types of movies. Dark Backward Donny Darko Brazil They did not hit the same way but I liked them.
Cool as Ice is a banger such great lines like “Looky looky looky in Kats black booky” I’m disappointed I’ve seen no Brodie references team. Edit: see them now. Well done guys. Keanu and Swayze in Point Break will always be the movie of the year.
Silence of the Lambs Point Break Rush Cape Fear Slacker Hon Mention: Hearts of Darkness, New Jack City, Last Boyscout, What About Bob?, JFK, Father of the Bride
Point Break T2 Cape Fear Last Boy Scout Silence of the Lambs No order above, but I really enjoyed Point Break, I think I re-watched that one most recently but it's probably more than 10 years ago now at this point... The Fisher King is great too, I probably need to watch a lot of these again. At the time, I managed to see most of these movies in the theater, great times. I think on my list above, the only one I unfortunately didn't see in original release was Silence of the Lambs.
T2 Silence of the Lambs Star Trek VI The Last Boy Scout Out For Justice There are a lot that can fall in that 3-5 slots like Point Break, Necessary Roughness, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, etc.
The 1980s was so good of a decade I consider 1991 to be the close year for that time.]~ For me : 2 movies at the top~ Hook, but definitely T2 as the top (I would’ve put Dick Tracy in the top three but that was ‘90)
The Commitments should be on the list in addition to a lot of what's already been mentioned and honestly, Beauty and the Beast has had enormous impact ever since it was released
Considering I was -3 years old, my knowledge is a bit limited. But here it goes: - Boyz N the Hood (one of my all time faves) - Silence of the Lambs (one of my sister's favorites) - Terminator 2, although I've seen it so many times that I can't stand to watch it now. Um, I think I've seen City Slickers and Double Impact on TV once or twice. Fried Green Tomatoes was received well but probably isn't something I like. I'm not sure if 1991 was a big year for movies, or if these are just movies that always seemed to be on TV or advertised at rental stores (remember those)? EDIT: Beauty and the Beast also came out that year. Not my thing but one of my exes loved it.
