Episode Synopsis

At first glance, 1996 was kind of a bland year for movies, eh? At second glance, it’s still a bit, well... meh. The Top 10 moneymakers were all straight up studio products and a bit lifeless, while the Oscar contenders are mostly forgettable. If the 90’s had a crack in which to fall through, 1996 is certainly that year. Our challenge, then, was for each of us to bring our Top Five Movies of 1996 and see if we could find some elusive spice in an otherwise milquetoast cinema year.
