A list of 20 nineties classics that you should definitely watch again (3 of 5)

Goodfellas (1990)

If you love watching Robert De Niro act, this iconic gangster movie will definitely impress you. Directed by none other than Martin Scorsese, the movie also stars Lorraine Bracco, Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta in leading roles. This mob drama is considered one of the finest movies ever made, and it definitely deserves a re-watch.

Standout line – “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.”

Schindler’s List (1993)

Schindler’s List is based on a true story set during World War II when the persecution of Jews was at the peak. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the movie stars Liam Neeson in the leading role, who plays the role of Oskar Schindler – a man who sets out on a mission to save as many Jews as he can. The movie paints a very grim and touching tale of the period and is a highly recommended movie to watch.

Standout line – It’s Hebrew, it’s from the Talmud. It says, “Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.”

The Matrix (1999)

Starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne in leading roles, The Matrix will always be very close to sci-fi movie lovers. Set in a dystopic future where human-robot hybrids are all over the world, humanity and personhood are all in chaos. When Neo (Keanu Reeves) is awakened to reality by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), he realizes the need to fight against the machines and lead the human rebels.

Standout line – “Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?”

Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Starring Tom Hanks and Matt Damon, Saving Private Ryan is the story of how American soldiers go behind enemy lines to save a paratrooper after the Normandy attacks during World War II. The movie is one of the finest ever made and is directed by none other than Steven Spielberg. The movie gets really uncomfortable to watch at times, which goes on to show how brutal and painful a war really is.

Standout line – “You see, when… when you end up killing one of your men, you see, you tell yourself it happened so you could save the lives of two or three or ten others. Maybe a hundred others. Do you know how many men I’ve lost under my command?”
