BEST FILMS OF THE 90'S:
1. Last of the Mohicans – THEY SAID: 98th. I SAY: A wildly underrated movie, all but ignored by the academy due to a mid-year release. I don’t know anyone who has seen this movie who doesn’t love it. Everything about it is perfect. The soundtrack and the villain, as we've established the keys to a good film becoming great, are amongst the best of the decade. The director’s cut currently available on DVD Speilberg-izes the film, bringing the themes into words instead of leaving them as deeds. It is to be ignored. But the film is not. Flawless. I still root for Duncan. I still want Magua to lose the first knife fight.
