90s Movies
Ah the 90s. There is enough distance
at this point I think to look back with a fond yet critical eye. In fact it is
starting to feel in distance terms like the 80s did just a few short years ago.
The 90s are for me in film terms vital. I turned 15 in 1990 and although I had
watched a lot of films I really shouldn’t have before then it was around that
time where I got into cinema in a very real way. The next 10 years cemented a
love for cinema and the movies that continues to this day. And I want to talk
to you, yes YOU about the highs and the lows of that decade.
Starting at 20:00 GMT on the 8th I will ask one
question every ten minutes. Include the question number and the #MTOS hashtag
in your replies so that others can find your answers. Follow the conversation
by searching the hashtag; you'll meet new Twitter film fans, and hopefully we will
discover a host of 90s movies you never even knew existed. Be sure to RT
any answers you find interesting, and kindly keep it nice and civil at all
times.
All that leaves is for you to check out the
questions below and prepare your answers for the big day. Make sure to follow
me on Twitter (@jaycoyle) before Sunday, or you might just miss all the
fun!
