10 Films That Prove 1994 Was the Best Ever Year for Movies (Collider)

"It's okay for there to be disagreements over what year in film history is objectively the best. In fact, maybe trying to argue such a thing objectively is fruitless. There's often going to be a bias for individuals to favor certain years because of things like nostalgia or other personal reasons. All that being said, though, you have to acknowledge that 1994, as a year, is up there with the best in the history of cinema. It was a time when so many great directors were putting out some of their best work, and there were plenty of films that tried to do something new or artistic whilst also being accessible and crowd-pleasing. It's such a great year that in the following 10 films, you won't even find 1994's Best Picture winner, Forrest Gump, which is "merely" an honorable mention (other honorable mentions would include Speed, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Three Colors: Red, and Léon: The Professional, to name a few). Because yes, 1994 really was that good." - collider.com
