[ga_ninja]

My girlfriend loves old school movies for some reason I perfer new ones, she wants to do an old school movie marathon this weekend. I need some good old school movies from 90's. I know she won't allow The Matrix(one of my favorite) or any action movies.

No action movies? Jeez. Watch Boogie Nights. Women love young Mark Wahlberg so it will lead to you getting laid.

Die hard
Mission impossible
Con air
Rush hour

The word old-school and 80s and 90s films should never coalign.

why?

body double and basic instinct
the running man and total recall

NOES and Scream

scarface and natural born killers

 

[I Am Legion]

John Hughes ruled the 80s. Apatow does a decent job now but Hughes captured the 80s.

Some non obvious ones:

American Flyers
Enemy Mine
The Rivers Edge
No Way Out
April Fools Day
Monkey Shines
The Untouchables
Time Bandits

Becuase none of those movies are old enough to be old-school

This reminds of the time I recommended Sleepy Hollow (the '99 Burton film) to a girl I worked with. She was 18. She asked when it was made and I told her and she was like, "Ewww too old!" I still think of it as a fairly recent film.

So there's one suggestion. Here are a few others:

Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction
Shawshank Redemption
Fight Club
Fargo
Seven
The Sixth Sense
LA Confidential

It's hard for me to imagine that you haven't seen most of these, but if not, there you go.

The Point being, dont always use words strictly in relation to your own experience.
