OK, I'll hold my hand up and admit I forgot about Galaxy Quest, and for some reason kept thinking Star Trek VI came out two years before it did (which is nonsense, because I went to it while I was at WPI) and The Matrix two years after. I haven't seen most of the others (although, having seen a Quentin Tarantino movie, I believe I can with some justification claim to have seen all Quentin Tarantino movies :).

I also have to admit I liked two of the three Bond films of that decade (GoldenEye, 1995, and Tomorrow Never Dies, 1997), but with the caveat that I'm not at all sure I would enjoy them if I saw them now. Probably the latter, at least in spots, because it has Desmond Llewelyn's next-to-last turn as Q and a hilarious performance by the late, lamented Vincent Schiavelli as Dr. Kaufman, a minor character who made such an impression that I actually remember his name all this time later.

Also: Down Periscope (1996) and the original Men in Black (1997), both featuring the great Rip Torn, but not RoboCop 3 (1993)*, also featuring the great Rip Torn. :)

So, OK, I may have judged the decade too harshly for the sake of a low-hanging punch line. On the other hand, even most of the films I remember liking from that period, I'm not even claiming are actually good, I just like them. :)

* Although RoboCop 3 does contain the funniest throw-away gag in the whole franchise - "What's it like being a rocket scientist?" - that is so, so far from enough to save it. :)

But at the same time, I must point out that I couldn't actually remember a movie that I -knew- was from the 90's that I don't wish I could forget.

So while I stand corrected, my original statement still stands on its own :)

But The Rocketeer was a 1991 release.

Which is notably impressive, as they're in Hamburg.
Personally, I always liked the captain of the HMS Bedford, when told that, no, even if it's (radar)visible, Carver's stealth ship still doesn't give enough of a return for missile fire.

-Right, we'll do it the OLD-FASHIONED way.

In a suitably dry, very British tone of voice, as they get the 4.5" gun pounding. Incidentally, the Chester, Devonshire and Bedford are all the same ship in reality., the HMS Westminster.
