Groundhog Day (1993) – Harold Ramis
Bill Murray headlines in one of my favourite comedies, Groundhog Day, which sees Murray as Phil Connors, a smarmy weatherman who thinks he’s better than his yearly assignment to head to Punxsutawney, for Phil the Groundhog’s yearly prediction on winter. He’s joined by his new producer, Rita (Andie MacDowell), and cameraman, Larry (Chris Elliott). Following…
Thelma & Louise (1991) – Ridley Scott
My return to the Romance and Melodrama section of the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book brings me this Ridley Scott classic from the early nineties that pairs Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon in an all-star extravaganza that details the adventures of a pair of best friends as they plan a bit of…

In 1964, two FBI agents, Ward (Dafoe) and Anderson (Hackman)…
Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992) – John Carpenter

Sneakers (1992)
You tend to forget how awesome this movie is. I have a friend at work who is working his way through the thriller genre on Netflix, and I asked if he’d ever seen Sneakers. He said no, and promptly settled in to watch it, and started raving about it immediately. Which made me think that…
