I remember when I thought Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was the best movie I'd seen. It's still the best Robin Hood movie out there. Its parody, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, is also considered among the best, but it's fourth for me, behind Disney's and the Errol Flynn one from, I think the 1930s or 1940s? The Adventures of Robin Hood. The new ones suck.

Kevin Costner couldn't get the accent right, so director Kevin Reynolds told him to stop trying and just use his natural American accent. This was controversial for people from the area, especially as everyone else was great (including Alan Rickman who IIRC is from the area? At least the country).

Fun fact: Kevin Reynolds went on to make (IMO) the best adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo about a decade later. I think he also made Waterworld and/or The Postman, both of which also starred Kevin Costner and were met with mixed reviews (but I enjoyed both). Reynolds' Count of Monte Cristo, however, did not feature Costner (and he would have been a poor choice to play Dantes, and at that point I think he would only take starring/hero roles?).

I also liked Terminator 2, Stargate, Independence Day, and Starship Troopers. Plus most of the Star Trek movies, and all of the Star Wars movies (when there were just three of them, and we didn't really talk about the Ewok movies — we still don't). I actually am a child of the 80s, but I wasn't watching movies when I was a child, most of them didn't hold my interest. I wasn't really able to fully enjoy movies until the early 90s. I do like some 80s movies, but 90s movies are the sweet spot for me.
