I tried to watch it, stayed awake long enough to think it was horrible,
UNBELIEVABLE!!

I saw Shattered in a theater. Because it was free. Friends worked there and we saw everything for free. Often multiple times. We didn't watched Shattered twice. Weren't too thrilled with once. That fact that you recall this movie, at it would seem fondly, I find puzzling.

All this talk of great 90's films and still no mention of this:

Tremors, 1990. I haven't bothered with the sequels.
Also 1990, Miami Blues.
Coincidentally, Fred Ward was in both of these.

No argument there, but in the early part of the decade he made some watchable movies: Hard to Kill, Marked for Death and Under Siege.

I completely forgot Rounders. I saw it and Ronin in the same year, and was instantly hooked on both. I learned how to play decent poker, and years later bought a P228.
I still love both those movies and watch them whenever they're on.

I thought "Braveheart" was quite unique in that I don't recall a medieval movie showing that level of graphic, realistic violence. Hard to believe it's been 30 years since it came out. I think it still holds up well to this day.
"Saving Private Ryan" was another one in which we had never seen such realistic, graphic battle scenes.

Have you seen Excalibur from 1981? Conan the Barbarian from 1982? Haven't seen it in decades, but I recall Spartacus from 1960 having some intense battle scenes.

I have to watch Teddy KGB at least one year. “Hangin’ around Hangin’ around, kid has alley-gator blood.” Feeling satisfied now Teddy? Cuz I can keep busting you up ALL NIGHT! “Nyet! He beat me, straight up. Pay that man. Pay that man is moon-ey”
Malkovich’s best role IMO.
