"As a teenager in the 1990s, one was aware that American cinema was experiencing something of a golden renaissance, a period in which indie cinema and mainstream blockbusters could exist together and get along. There was room for both, and in fact the average cinema buff could healthily sample the mainstream and the independent, and remain totally satisfied by their viewing experiences.
For every tent pole monster flick or big scale crowd pleaser, there were at least ten more smaller, more character-driven pictures. Sadly, many of them have dimmed as the years have gone by. Below are ten more American movies of the nineties which I feel deserve a lot more attention than they currently get."
