Some of my faves: 90s & 2000s: Fantastical Cinema

I could have called it cinema of the fantastic, but Cinema Fantastique is the term sometimes used which includes cinema of a fantastical nature (not sure if that was understood by everyone in my last poll). Maybe I'll call this Fantastical Cinema and I plan to use a wider net than before (as those were all either sci-fi genre, fantasy or horror movies) and one might find Mulholland Drive questionable in this list (I wanted to include Kill Bill too). My first poll had a narrower net still (otherwise The Wicker Man would have been on it).

Although I would like it if you would vote for and comment on my choices, feel free to also mention any others. If you don't know any of my choices, or don't like those, feel free to mention that. My list, of course, represents my knowledge and tastes, but that doesn't mean that I'm not interested in hearing about other peoples. I have discovered many great things thanks to people mention "other" options, and often I realise that I missed one that I adore but slipped my mind. As this covers almost three decades of cinema, I will miss many great ones, but I treat polls commonly merely as a jumping off point or accessory to conversation.

I don't bother with including an other option since people can always mention those in posts.

You might find some obvious to you ones that are missing such as The Matrix, which I do like, and the Lord of the Rings films (love the novels, but the films don't do it for me).

Multiple votes enabled again, so vote for as many as you like. These are just the first that sprung to mind, I prepared this quickly, and I might do a second poll anon.

I do hope that everyone into these cinematic avenues finds something to like in the list enough to not just mention "other" options or say, as has happened to me in the past, "Where is such-and-such?" There are lots more that I would like to include, but there are only 25 options.

EDIT: Had meant to include Gattaca, losing one from the list to replace it with that.

I don't care if you vote if you've only seen one of them, or even if you've only seen a trailer of one of them and decide to vote based on that. Hell, people can vote based on coolest name. It's not a contest. Which ones have you seen?

Those are three good ones, I think. I'm going to do another poll one of these days which will probably have more that you've seen (and I'll be casting my net wider -- more eclectic -- so that more members might find a film or films that they like). My time in a sci-fi community meant that I got too used to talking about much of this kind of stuff (though that was before I joined PA).

That's very cool, I mean with Ted White, not about your life going off the rails and becoming surreal. I rarely watch movies these days as I seem to lack the concentration. When I get into a good one, I enjoy it, but like a novel it takes some effort to start watching them and mostly I use Netflix these days, but rarely see anything that really piques my interest. I should cut the cable, I only watch it for the news, some shows about houses, and cooking shows these days.

I could have easily gone with Mulholland Drive and Eternal Sunshine but Delicatessen is just so good it feels wrong voting for anything along with it.
