Yes, T2 and The Matrix are both great, but THIS is the best action movie of the 90s. John Woo, Chow Yun Fat, and thousands upon thousands of rounds of ammunition. Best action movie, best buddy movie, best stunts, best everything.
After that, you've got a great Hong Kong crime thriller. The finale in the hospital has to be seen to be believed. No one does action better than John Woo.
And Chow Yun Fat is the coolest mothereffer in movies.

My Picks:
Trois Coleurs Trilogy
Reservoir Dogs
The Piano
The Player
Heavenly Creatures
Hard Boiled
I started thinking about this post while ruminating on Infernal Affairs while trying to write up a Johnnie To Flick so I said to myself, GO AHEAD AND BUMP THIS WRITE-UP OF AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE.
Spoiler:
If you can't spot the connections, just thinks about doing slammers.
Whenever one of these old draft threads gets bumped I find myself spending way too much time going through them These drafts are so much fun and still hold up for rereads years later, Except all of the broken picture links make me sad.

I do the same thing (just to see how wrong everyone was; just kidding).
You went on a drunken binge for days and passed out!
I wish I could go on a drunken binge some days, but I'm afraid to even attempt that. Sometimes I need to have someone else drive after two glasses of wine. When did I turn into a lightweight?
