SLAM! Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 @baumer Will Chungking Express be eligible for this list? I saw that the film's domestic theatrical release was in 1996. I understand if it's not eligible, but it's my #1 if it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it is since it's a 25 yr old film and we've gone with the home foreign release date before with older lists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're good. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 So what will be the number one? Will it be a time to get busy living or get busy dying? How about some blueberry pie on Zeds chopper? Or will we all be taking pop quizzes because we're hot shots? Or will we all realize that we here sitting next to a millionaire on a park bench with some really raggedy shoes? Or will we be attempting to jump off of a rooftop on horseback? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildphantom Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Just checking this out. Since when did Miracle on 34th Street only take $17 million domestically?!? I'm staggered at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why pay to see it when the original which is far superior plays every year on TV multiple times during X-Mas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box office in 1994 brings back all kinds of stat memories in my head, but this one just escaped me for some reason. Besides, this is a much loved remake that was really well received. I just forgot it did such mediocre business, considering it's now a Xmas classic for many (and yes, I'm talking about the 94 one, as well as the original) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another French film in 1994, released in US in 1995, which i adore very much - Wild Reeds. I didn't watch enough number of 1994s film to come out top 30's list.. Currently my 1994''s list, this covers my entire 1994's film library . 1. Shawshank Redemption 2. Three Colour : Red 3. Pulp Fiction 4. Wild Reeds 5. Eat Drinks Man Woman 6. Forrest Gump 7. Three Colour : White 8. The Mask 9. Bullets Over Broadway 10. The Lion King ( Don't judge, I don't like TLK) 11. Interview with Vampire 12.

dxmatrixdt Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) lol at The Little Rascals. I remember watching it on VHS 1 year later in summer of 95 and enjoying it more then what I just went through. I wish I knew what I was watching on tv back then. I can't even sync my memory with that 1994 weekend box office schedule. TLK was previews for Demon Knight Jan 1995, scary scary!, end of the world? on the other side of the wall? (The sound effects of the T-rexes in Land Before Time 2. The snake in The Jungle Book and Collateral Damage) But it wasn't about scary movies, it was about having to do something else, but I don't remember.

I think now a days people would be dancing in their seats screaming hallelujah for a Friday the 13th adaptation of a Jason Vorhees video game.
