In the Paris of the 1990s, there is always room for arbitrariness. It reigns not in the central prestigious neighborhoods, but on the outskirts, where the world exists according to its own laws. One day, a wave of riots begins in one of these ghettos. They are provoked by the murder of an Arab teenager. Three friends living in the neighborhood — Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui), and Hubert (Hubert Koundé) — decide to avenge the cops for a friend.
"Hate" became a cult movie, turning into a manifesto of the inhabitants of dysfunctional suburbs. It inspired many screen stories about the residents of the Paris ghetto, including Luc Besson's "District 13" and "Justice"'s music videos. Today, the young troublemakers from the neighborhoods are back on trend, just as they were in the 1990s. Proof of this is the plethora of series about street gangs that have come out in recent years.

- 1995

- IMDb Rating: 8.6
Detectives Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and Mills (Brad Pitt) investigate serial killer John Doe (Kevin Spacey), who punishes victims for 'mortal sins'. Obsessed with the idea of punishment, he subjects people to physical and moral suffering, which he prepares with cold calculation. The maniac leaves at the crime scenes only the name of the sin the victim committed and a clever clue-puzzle to find the next corpse.
"Se7en" even now, 30 years later, produces a deafening, simply stunning effect. Fincher created a unique atmosphere, which is still actively copied, and created a trend for conceptual maniacs, which remains relevant in modern cinema.

30Actually, I reviewed the entire bond at the time.
I remember 12 Monkeys a little worse, but it was also a good movie at the time.
I watched Braveheart on a cassette as a child. The film has 10 points. A strong film about courage, about heroism, about independence. I advise everyone to watch it.
6. GoldenEye - Campbell is good, but in ten years he will earn a more legendary franchise.;
5. Braveheart - Gibson is a good director, but not a great film, even from his work at the turn of the century;
4. Seven - Fincher: The beginning, go in from here
3. La Haine is a gun-style, Cassel got into this game with his feet
2 - 1. Heat / 12 Monkeys - the most extraordinary films from the list, which are less outdated than others. I recently reviewed the fight, I categorically disagree that it is delayed (his modern cyber is delayed, but there are no unnecessary plans at all. The questions are more about attention deficit in the tiktok era).
I would have added 1995 to the top 10 of the highly rated ones.:
The Fargo- Cohens have been great since their debut, and this one is the most popular, but that's not why it's worse;
The Bridges of Madison County - if a melodrama, then only this
Casino - Marty - dad
Dead Man - Jim - dad
Out of competition, but in the heart:
Showgirls - Great, but Low-rated, doesn't Fit the Rules
Before Sunrise is not so good apart from the whole trilogy, the trilogy is powerful.
Четыре комнаты ( https://myshows.me/movie/4757/ )
Is the iconic Ghost in armor https://myshows.me/movie/2211 / not worthy of mention? I think. that many people remember him.
U Mind and Feelings https://myshows.me/movie/4766 / the rating is not lower than those mentioned. The movie was popular.
And the Water World https://myshows.me/movie/4786 / a great movie, too, with a pretty good rating.
And of course, the peculiarities of national hunting https://myshows.me/movie/4756/
How can I forget this movie? If you want to, you won't forget.
I share the opinion that there were probably more than 7 good films released in 1995.
of those that I personally liked very much, and which others did not write about.:
Batman Forever / Batman Forever https://myshows.me/movie/2064 / - the scrap caste! The best Batman, for my taste.
Judge Dredd / Judge Dredd https://myshows.me/movie/70671 / - classic
Johnny Mnemonic / Johnny Mnemonic https://myshows.me/movie/70803 / - good technical fiction
Excellent selection
