Defining a decade with a movie: 1990s

[Angel Tarragon]

Just curious here: if you had to choose only one movie for the decade tha you could watch from it which one would it be?

Persoanlly I'd choose Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Pulp Fiction

 

[Mr. Kaze]

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

A worthy choice for the topic and by far my favorite instance of anything Star Trek, but I'm going to have to go for the stand-alone

Sneakers

on this one.

 

[The Shaman]

Pulp Fiction

Absolutely.

The Matrix.

El Mariachi (1992).

Why? Because it showed Hollywood that small, independent movies could make money. It was made for a mere $7000 and it made over $2 million in return. This opened the door for filmmakers like Kevin Smith (Clerks 1994) and Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction 1994).

It also showed Hollywood that these "independents" could make good, quality movie. So people like Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro can thank Robert Rodriguez for that.

There are lots and lots and lots... but, Fight Club comes to mind first... though Magnolia was a pretty definitive film for me in the 1990's).
