    Nil by mouth (one of my favorite movies, from any decade. Totally mindblowing.)

    As has been said, the 90's were a very good decade for movies, in all genres. Good times!

    Both good movies, especially for the acting pretty much across the board.

    I remember being so annoyed at Gary Oldman, as he kept on making cheesy hollywood movies, but it totally made sense when saw Nil By Mouth, as he was working as much as possible to get the money together so he could make this movie. All was instantly forgiven. Brilliant.

    Indeed, well put.

    Part of this film's brilliance is the dialogue. The actors were given freedom to improvise, which adds to it's quality.

    Not everyone's cup of coffee, but for me, a stone cold classic.

    Mike Leigh did something similiar with a few of his movies/actors/scenes also... Secrets and Lies was pretty much the same (each actor given a character/motivation and an overarching theme and let them at it 90% non-scripted) and another that needs mentioned is Naked. David Thewlis in that movie is one of the best acting performances of the entire 90's decade. Again, they won't be everyone's cup of tea but they are terrific movies.
