Its the 90’s and there isnt anyone close.

If you took the best 25 movies of the 90’s, and the best 25 movies from every other point in history, the 90’s list easily prevails imo.

We’ve lost our way in the last two decades

70s, 80s, 2000s, 2010s could be close. I’d lean the 70s. But like half the good movies ever made came in a 10 year span.

Talk about a golden age

I have the 70’s as the next best, so it may be a bad take but its quite clearly not an age thing

You’re wrong on Stafford not being significantly better than Goff. Even if you think Stafford is a ultimately a loser that would still be true.

Your second sentence invalidates your first. Herm Edwards needs to educate you on why they play the game

I went through some guy's 70's list and it was pretty remarkable. It's so jam packed that Cuckoo's Nest is at #25.

To have a losing record coaching the Jets?
Or the .422 Regular season record.
Or the .333 post season record.

Hes terrible.

Im not defending him as a coach. But as controversial as it may be i do agree with him that winning games is the point of playing football

You’re correct and it’s not really that close. 70s are ok if you shrink the list to the top 5-10, but 90s win handily.

Shawshank
Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction
Heat
A Bronx Tale
Casino
Tombstone
Rounders
Donnie Brasco
American History X

Outside of the top 4 im not even sure this is my top 10. Top 4 are unassailable but the next 6 could have 50 different movies in that spot and its a great list. Outside of Antioch y’all are nuts.

Its a great movie. If you disagree replace it with True Romance, Con Air, Crimson Tide, or any of another 50+ movies that beats some of the ones you listed for the 80s
