    Ah true.

    can't believe I left Matrix and Jurassic Park off that list. They are SO important in terms of visuals.

    Jurassic Park
    Saving Private Ryan


    I'm gonna have to MAJORLY disagree on Singles. Can someone explain to me why Singles is an essential or important FILM? Yes I understand that grunge had a huge impact on MUSIC but not FILM. Chick Flick + Grunge = Singles.

    Oh Good call on Saving Private Ryan

    Singles to me captures that whole vibe of the that time period. Like back in the day when you actually had to CALL someone, before everyone was texting and e-mailing. Plus duh, Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament and Chris Cornell are in it. And some really good music!
