In addition to winning the Academy Award for Best Picture, "Titanic" took home an additional ten statuettes, including Best Director, Best Costume Design, and Best Music, Original Song. Overall, it was nominated for 14 awards, with Kate Winslet losing to Helen Hunt for "As Good as it Gets."

1. "Se7en"
   "Silence of the Lambs"
2. "Basic Instinct"
   "Goodfellas"

"Se7en" paired Brad Pitt up with Morgan Freeman as a rookie and veteran cop, who were in pursuit of Kevin Spacey's "John Doe," a serial killer who killed his victims based off of one of the seven deadly sins.

1. "Aladdin"
   "The Little Mermaid"
2. "Mulan"
   "Beauty and the Beast"

"Beauty and the Beast" was nominated for six Academy Awards in 1991, which is no small feat. However, when it was nominated for Best Picture, it achieved something that all animated features had never achieved before: being in competition with live-action films for the biggest award of the ceremony.

1. "American Graffiti"
   "American Pie"
2. "American History X"
   "American Beauty"

Alan Ball, who wrote and produced "American Beauty," has produced a couple of other shows that you may recognize: he was listed as an executive producer for TV shows "True Blood," "Six Feet Under," and "Cybill."

1. "Pretty Woman"
   "Singles"
2. "The Birdcage"
   "Love, Actually"

While you may not recognize Hank Azaria, who plays Agador, the Goldman's butler, by his physical appearance, you may recognize him from his other work: he plays a bunch of different characters on "The Simpsons," including Moe Szyslak and Chief Wiggum.

1. "Evil Dead"
   "Army of Darkness"
2. "Evil Dead 2"
   "Ash vs. Evil Dead"

Sam Raimi, the producer of the Evil Dead franchise, also has another group of films to add to his following. He produced the Spider-Man films featuring Tobey Maguire in the lead. As a nod to his fans that brought him to where he was, he had Bruce Campbell make a couple cameos.

1. "The Crow"
   "The Birds"
2. "The Birdcage"
   "Paulie"

On top of having amazing fight scenes, "The Crow" had a soundtrack that was filled with prominent artists during the time. Artists such as The Cure, Stone Temple Pilots, and My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult helped set the mood for this now iconic movie.

1. "Fright Night"
   "The Quick and the Dead"
2. "From Dusk Till Dawn"
   "Bram Stoker's Dracula"

This isn't the last time that Quentin Tarantino (who not only acted but wrote the screenplay for "From Dusk Till Dawn") and director Robert Rodriguez would work together. In 2007, Tarantino and Rodriguez paired up to direct the two films featured in "Grindhouse," an homage to the exploitation films of the 1970s.

1. "The Nightmare Before Christmas"
   "Edward Scissorhands"
2. "Scrooged"
   "Jingle All The Way"

For many of his films, Tim Burton utilized Danny Elfman's musical talent for memorable soundtracks. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" was no different, however, the former Oingo Boingo lead singer performed vocals for the skeletal lead man, Jack Skellington.

1. "Arabian Nights"
   "Mulan"
2. "Aladdin"
   "Sinbad"

If it weren't for Robin Williams's Genie, "Aladdin" may have fallen flat. However, with Williams behind the film, he was able to improvise many of his scenes, and because Disney allowed most of the dialog to be used, the Genie came across as a masterpiece.

1. "Heist"
   "Speed"
2. "Mutiny on the Buses"
   "The Big Bus"

Annie (portrayed by Sandra Bullock) must have the worst luck with traveling. A couple of years after her crazy bus ride, she hops on a boat and runs into the same issue, except she's accompanied with a different officer. "Speed 2: Cruise Control" was released in 1997 and it didn't have as great of a return as the original.

1. "Halloween"
   "Born on the Fourth of July"
2. "Independence Day"
   "Groundhog Day"

What this movie lacked in plot delivered in effects. So much so that it won the Academy Award for Best Effects, Visual Effects and was nominated for Best Sound.

1. "Unbreakable"
   "The Sixth Sense"
2. "Signs"
   "Wayward Pines"

Bruce Willis portrays Dr. Malcolm Crowe, the psychologist hired to assist Cole Sear (portrayed by Haley Joel Osment) with his paranormal issue. This isn't the first time this decade that Willis has played a psychologist: in 1994's "Color of Night" he portrayed Dr. Bill Capa, a therapist on the prowl for a murderer.

1. "Jingle All The Way"
   "The Nightmare Before Christmas"
2. "Home Alone"
   "The Santa Clause"

Even though this film was a breakout film for Macaulay Culkin, it was Catherine O'Hara who had more parts in holiday films. In addition to playing Kate McAllister in both Home Alone movies, she was Sally in "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

1. "Cry-Baby"
   "Chocolat"
2. "21 Jump Street"
   "Edward Scissorhands"

"Edward Scissorhands" was the first collaboration between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton: overall, they would work on eight films together. This film was also Vincent Price's last film: he played The Inventor, Edward's father figure, who tragically dies before he could replace Edward's scissored hands with normal human hands.

1. "Showgirls"
   "Studio 54"
2. "Boogie Nights"
   "Love, Actually"

"Boogie Nights" had several notable stars: Burt Reynolds, Heather Graham, William H. Macy, Julianne Moore, and Mark Wahlberg. However, it wasn't the biggest star of them all. Many people were speculating on whether a scene featuring Wahlberg's character's member was really his.

1. "Runaway Bride"
   "Pretty Woman"
2. "Notting Hill"
   "My Best Friend's Wedding"

Richard Gere and Julia Roberts lit up the screen in "Pretty Woman," which is considered a staple in the romantic comedy genre. The public liked Gere and Roberts together so much that they reunited in "Runaway Bride."

1. "Toy Story"
   "The Toy"
2. "The Player"
   "My Little Pony"

Many classic toys were featured in "Toy Story" including plastic Army men, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog, a piggy bank, and a plastic T-Rex toy. With Tom Hanks and Tim Allen playing the two lead characters, Disney/Pixar struck cinematic gold.

1. "The Nightmare on Elm Street"
   "Scream"
2. "Silent Hill"
   "Halloween"

The villain behind the first "Scream" film used a mask that looked like the subject of the painting "The Scream" by Edward Munch, painted in the late 1800s. Perhaps that where the title for the movie came from?

1. "The Polar Express"
   "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"
2. "Trainspotting"
   "Train to Busan"

Many of the Scottish dialects can be difficult to understand in "Trainspotting." Luckily, it was based on Irvine Welsh's novel of the same name; however, instead of writing it in clear English, you can read the novel with a Scottish dialect there too!

1. "From Dusk Till Dawn"
   "Reservoir Dogs"
2. "Pulp Fiction"
   "True Romance"

Even though it only grossed a little over $2,000,000 at the box office, "Reservoir Dogs" highlighted Tarantino's signature style of film: gritty and quick dialogue along with perfectly cut scenes. His next films, "True Romance" and "Pulp Fiction" made him a household name during the 1990s.

1. "Hoop Dreams"
   "Sixteen Candles"
2. "Four Rooms"
   "10 Things I Hate About You"

In one of his first major roles, Heath Ledger broke away in this feature about an undesirable girl, her sister, and the road she inadvertently takes to get her first boyfriend. Ledger later won an Academy Award posthumously for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of the Joker in "The Dark Knight." Ledger had passed away in 2008 of a drug overdose.

1. "Breathless"
   "Clueless"
2. "Shameless"
   "Fearless"

Although Silverstone was the primary focus in "Clueless" there are two actors that didn't get their spotlights until later: Brittany Murphy, who played Lisa Swenson in "Drop Dead Gorgeous," and was recognizably the voice of LuAnn Platter from "King of the Hill"; and Paul Rudd, who's currently one of Marvel's smaller superheroes: Ant-Man in various movies.

1. "Four Rooms"
   "Four Weddings and a Funeral"
2. "12 Monkeys"
   "2 Fast 2 Furious"

"Four Rooms" was an underrated yet well spun story taking the audience around a hotel during New Year's Eve in a hotel. Each room is featured in its own vignette and has its own director. One of the directors was Quentin Tarantino, who worked with Roth on "Reservoir Dogs."

1. "From Dusk Till Dawn"
   "Once Upon a Time in Mexico"
2. "Desperado"
   "The Mask of Zorro"

Even though "Desperado" had a small budget by Hollywood's standards ($7 million), "El Mariachi" had a minuscule budget: only $7,000. "El Mariachi" earned a little over $2 million at the box office, making it one of the most profitable films ever created.

1. "Halloween H20: 20 Years Later"
   "Halloween 6: The Return of Michael Meyers"
2. "Halloween 2"
   "Halloween"

In 2015, Jamie Lee Curtis returned to her horror roots, however it was on the small screen. "Scream Queens," developed by Brian Falchuk and Brian Murphy (creators of "American Horror Story") paid homage to the slasher films that made Jamie Lee Curtis a household name.

1. "We're Back!"
   "The Land Before Time"
2. "Jurassic Park"
   "Walking with Dinosaurs"

Unsurprisingly, "Jurassic Park" took home three awards in 1993 each for the stellar visual and sound effects that gave audiences the dinosaur experience of a lifetime. This movie has become the benchmark for dinosaur movies.

1. "Hostel"
   "Saw"
2. "The Blair Witch Project"
   "Cabin in the Woods"

Not only did "The Blair Witch Project" use new and innovative ways to tell a story, but they also had excellent marketing as well. A skin and bones (by today's standards) historic site appeared on the web around the time the movie was set to release. It had a history of hauntings as well as information on the missing students. On top of this, there were rarely any trailers aired on TV during that time, and it relied on word of mouth to get the masses in.

1. "Glengarry Glen Ross"
   "Office Space"
2. "Horrible Bosses"
   "The Office"

Did you know that the coveted Swingline Red Stapler didn't exist before "Office Space"? Because Mike Judge wanted the stapler to stand out more on screen, he had an auto body shop spray a stapler red, and after the movie became a cult hit, the public started to demand red staplers. Today, it is considered on of Swingline's more prominent products.

1. "Terminator 2: Judgment Day"
   "The Terminator"
2. "Terminator: Genisys"
   "I, Robot"

1. "Hackers"
   "Sneakers"
2. "The Matrix"
   "War Games"

Did you know that Morpheus (the name of Lawrence Fishburne's character) has its roots in Greek mythology? Morpheus is the son of Hypnos, the god of sleep. Morpheus' job? To place humanoid shapes into dreams. Kinda makes sense why he'd use that name, huh?

1. "The Sandlot"
   "The Gangs of New York"
2. "Goodfellas"
   "Fight Club"

Keep your eyes peeled when watching this movie. In addition to hidden plot lines, you'll see a couple of musicians. Oscar award winner and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto plays a character named Angel Eyes and "Rocky Horror Picture Show" alum Meat Loaf plays a character named Bob Paulsen.

1. "Back to the Future"
   "Back to the Future Part III"
2. "Back to the Future Part II"
   "Back to the Future: Doc Brown Saves the World"

Since the conclusion of the Back to the Future trilogy in 1990, Christopher Lloyd has played his character Doc Brown 17 different times, one of which was the animated "Back to the Future." It ran for two seasons and won four Daytime Emmy Awards.

1. "Practical Magic"
   "The Craft"
2. "Hocus Pocus"
   "The Blair Witch Project"

This film isn't the only horror flick that Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich were together in. In 1996's "Scream," Campbell's Sidney Prescott and Ulrich's Billie Loomis were a couple who was terrorized by the Ghostface killer.

1. "Forrest Gump"
   "Castaway"
2. "Sleepless in Seattle"
   "Joe Versus the Volcano"

Even though Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks have been in three other films, none of them have the same magic that "Sleepless in Seattle" did. These movies included "Joe Versus the Volcano," "You've Got Mail," and in 2015 they reunited in "Ithaca."

1. "Boston"
   "Philadelphia"
2. "Chicago"
   "Atlanta"

This was the first of two Academy Awards that Tom Hanks would win during the 1990s as a leading man. The other win came a year later when he won for his portrayal of the lovable Forrest Gump.

1. "The Natural"
   "Major League"
2. "Bull Durham"
   "A League of Their Own"

One of the highlights of the film "A League of Their Own" isn't seen on camera. Penny Marshall, of "Laverne and Shirley" fame directs this mostly female cast, adding a feminine softness to America's favorite past time.

1. "Twin Peaks"
   "The Black Lodge"
2. "Twin Peaks: The Return"
   "Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces"

In 2017, "Twin Peaks: The Return" aired on Showtime to the delight of its many fans. The creepy part? During an episode of "Twin Peaks," Laura Palmer teases Agent Cooper in the red room saying, "I'll see you in 25 years." "Twin Peaks" was released in 1992...

1. "Batman Returns"
   "The Dark Knight"
2. "Batman & Robin"
   "Batman"

George Clooney portrayed Batman in this film that many consider to be one of the worst in the franchise. Directed by Joel Schumacher, it deterred from the usual dark tones of the DC vision and instead there was neon fight scenes, too many puns, and enough plot holes to drive a bus through.

1. "Batman Returns"
   "Batman Forever"
2. "Batman & Robin"
   "The Dark Knight"

With powerhouse performances by Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Keaton, "Batman Returns" brought in almost $46M in its opening weekend. Overall, it earned almost $285M worldwide.
