90s Revival... In Films

Well, hello again! 

In the blink of an eye, I realized I've not written a post for over a year and have to admit that my thoughts have gotten a little "rusty" over time. Or perhaps I am getting older as well. 

I'm not sure whether the past year has been eventful but keywords such as "dementia", 'cataract", "war", "Israel", "Chura", "Japan", "heat", "birds", "mother", "scam", and lastly "90s revival" just flash across my mind in an instant.

Not to worry as I am not suffering from dementia as this is a condition (mild one) which my father has. But I do hope to avoid this disease as I have learned how terrible it can cause to one person when it is serious.

The focus on this post is more towards "90s revival" in films, rather than music. 

Being someone who loves movies, many of the recent releases available on streaming services (Disney+, HBO and Netflix) do not seem to quench my thirst for a good film. That is when I decided to watch (or re-watch) movies produced in the 90s, which are crime thrillers, political dramas, military thrillers etc. A few really good titles I watched are:

Seven
Crimson Tide
A Time To Kill
Kiss The Girls
Courage Under Fire
Runaway Jury
The Game
The Fugitive

I believe there are many more great films produced in the 90s than those mentioned above, but are not available on the streaming services here. 

What surprises me is although these classics are almost 3 decades old, their plots are rich and intriguing, never failing to keep my eyes on the screen and ears on the dialogues. 

It makes me wonder whether script writers have more "heart and soul" back in the old days. I don't mean that recent films are horrible, but somehow I feel they lack a certain substance to them. Perhaps due to the rise of streaming services, production companies are rushing to release films in order to compete with one another, which is a shame if it is true.

Certainly, I wish for more good films to be made for audiences across the world. With all the recent gloomy headlines in the news, everyone needs good movies to take their minds away.

Looking forward to seeing great productions in time to come!
