"Warrior"
The film is very famous in New Zealand, but it does not have much reputation internationally. But it deserves more attention because as far as these uncompromising family dramas go, it's one of the best. It shines a light on domestic violence and tumultuous family dynamics that most movies wouldn't touch on, which is one of the reasons this film is so unforgettable.
"Pulp Fiction" Douban 8.9 points
What else can we say about "Pulp Fiction"? This is one of the best movies directed by the famous director Quentin Tarantino . The film unfolds three crime-related stories in Los Angeles. Today, nearly 30 years later, the film's integrated narrative style still feels unique.
Pulp Fiction
It has dancing, biblical quotes, over-the-top violence, drug overdoses, hilariously vulgar dialogue and a strong cast, all somehow combined with a message about forgiveness and redemption. This movie has been overhyped over the years, but it still lives up to the hype and is definitely one of the pinnacles of 1994 movie history.

"Eat Drink Man and Woman"
This is an emotionally resonant film that combines comedy, love and family ethics. The skilled screenwriters and outstanding acting skills are all produced by the entire cast.

" Ed Wood " Douban 8.2 points
"Ed Wood" tells the story of the famous American B-movie director Ed Wood. He was famous for shooting a series of interesting but poorly produced films in the 1950s. Famous for B-movies. Using black and white to help convey the look and feel of a real Ed Wood film, Ed Wood is a visually unique and highly entertaining biopic.
"Ed Wood"
"Ed Wood" was overlooked at the time of its release, perhaps because it had so many great films to compete with that year, but it has since become considered a cult classic Movie. Without a doubt, this is one of Tim Burton 's best films and stands out among the many generic biopics that present the lives of famous people in a bland, less entertaining way.
"The Crow" Douban 7.4 points
"The Crow" is a unique revenge film about a man who returns from the dead to avenge his wife (and himself) who were brutally murdered by an evil criminal gang. Its themes and characters are simple, and some have called the film more style than substance, but who cares how good its style is?
"The Crow"
With its visual effects and brilliant soundtrack, "The Crow" really surprised the 90s. The fact that the film is a product of its time only adds to its charm. It also features a stunning performance by the late Lee Kwok-ho, who tragically passed away during filming due to a prop gun malfunction. The actor's death cast an unforgettable light on this already haunting drama about violence, death, and grief. The movie cast a huge shadow.
" Basketball Dream " Douban 8.6 points
"Basketball Dream" was not the only great documentary of 1994 (the excellent and alternative "Kluber" was also released that year), but it may be the one The best documentary of the year.

"Basketball Dreams"
Because of the focus on the characters, the film feels very personal, but given its length and the time involved, it also feels epic by documentary standards. It's a long and rewarding film that's about much more than basketball, using its core story to explore racial and social issues. No matter how much you like or dislike sports documentaries, it's a great movie.
"Crazy Clerk" Douban 8.1 points
This is the first feature film of director Kevin Smith, and it is also his best one. This small-cost film perfectly captured the youth of that generation. Angst, the story follows Dante as he survives a crappy job without knowing what the future holds.
"Crazy Clerk"
Of course, this does not mean that "Crazy Clerk" is only suitable for people in their 20s in the 1990s, because the scenes and feelings it depicts will be applicable to young people of any era. Thankfully, despite the bleak black-and-white cinematography and some tragic protagonists, it also offers plenty of comedy, some hilariously cheesy dialogue, and plenty of ridiculous narrative. It does feel like a niche indie film made in the early to mid-1990s, but presented in the best possible way.
" Chungking Express " Douban 8.8 points
This masterpiece by Wong Kar-wai is difficult to describe its "theme" in words. It is more of an experience and a film about love and longing through specific narratives.

"Chungking Express"
The feeling of watching a movie is the most important. "Chungking Express" is a dazzling movie. With a unique tone, a brilliant score and mesmerizing visuals, and released during one of the best years in film history, it's an unconventional, stunning modern classic.
