Overrated film by an overrated director. You're not missing out on anything.

Overrated director? Yes. Overrated film? No. One of the best films ever? Yes.

Is there anything that can top 1994?

Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Leon the Professional, Pulp Fiction, and Lion King.

I haven't seen any of those.

How...?

I just haven't gotten around to seeing Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction and Lion King* didn't sound worthwhile, and I've never heard of Leon the Professional.

Umm, isn't it just The Professional?

BLASPHMEY! I agree that Quinton is over-rated but Pulp Fiction IS A MASTERPIECE!

The year a movie is released is quite different than the years it was made.

While I can't name a single 'best year' in movies, I do claim that the stretch of 1977-80 likely produced the best density of great films.

Too many to list, but we go from 'Star Wars' to 'Apocalypse Now' in a short span.

I always like 1984. To bad Star Wars VI was in 1983 or that would act as the crown to 1984.

1984:
Beverly Hills Cop
Ghostbusters
Terminator
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Gremlins
The Karate Kid (Yes I am going there)
Police Academy


And if that is not enough:
Footloose
Romancing the Stone
Bachelor Party
The Last Starfighter
The Philadelphia Experiment (I loved it as a kid, so it is here)
Sixteen Candles


Omitted from my list, but 1984 non the less:
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Splash
This Is Spinal Tap

I'll never get the Shawshank Redemption love... it's just a mindless feel-good flick.

While I don't agree with every single one of your choices I do agree it was the best year for film.
