TPSG Top 10 Movies of 1996

Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.

Top 10 Movies of 1996:
  1. Fargo - William H. Macy, Frances McDormand
  2. Jerry Maguire - Tom Cruise, Cuba Godding Jr
  3. Swingers - Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn
  4. Tin Cup - Kevin Costner, Rene Russo
  5. Sling Blade - Billy Bob Thornton, Lucas Black
  6. Trainspotting - Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner
  7. Mission: Impossible - Tom Cruise, Jon Voight
  8. Primal Fear - Richard Gere, Edward Norton
  9. Happy Gilmore - Adam Sandler, Christopher McDonald
  10. Kingpin - Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid
In my opinion, "Fargo" is the best of the Coen Brother movies, and that's saying something.  Who can ever forget the "Show me the money!" line from "Jerry Maguire"?  "Swingers" was the movie that introduced me to Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn, for that I am grateful.  "Tin Cup" is a highly underrated sports themed movie, it's a very good movie about golf of all things.  Billy Bob Thornton is tremendous in "Sling Blade".  "Trainspotting" is a trip, literally.  "Mission: Impossible" is another top notch action packed thriller by Tom Cruise.  Edward Norton's performance in "Primal Fear" is one for the ages. Back when Adam Sandler made funny movies, he made "Happy Gilmore", his fight with Bob Barker is a classic.  "Kingpin" is just plain and simply one funny movie, great cast, several memorable scenes.
