when's the last time anyone actually watched all 170 minutes of 'the horse whisperer'? and yet, that film was apparently huge, along with the novel it adapted.

Seven Years in Tibet

Evita

i'd also add Powder - not big budget, but crazy hype at the time.

there were a bunch of tibet/buddhism-related movies from the 90's. little buddha with keanu reeves. 7 years. martin scorcese's 'kundun.' probably others.

none of them are watched by anyone today, nor need they be.

brutal honesty -- whenever people post nostalgic yearnings for the 90s, I get kind of sick. it was an insipid, shitty time, an 'Ally McBeal' + Bro-Rock + rampant wiggerism + AIDS Awareness PSAs time. (75% white demographics was its only saving grace.)

the postwar honeymoon period pretty much fizzled by the late 80s, and nostalgia for anything after that is sad.

Matt Walsh posting click-bait about 'the good old days of 2007' is just mental illness.
