I was very excited to see the American Reunion movie. I saw American Pie just after college and remembered it was quite funny.
Jim, Michelle, Oz, Heather, Stifler reunite for their high school...
22 year old mack daddy right here, but I only really became a film fan in the mid-2000's, so if I were to pick 90's films that I liked growing up my list would mostly consist of Adam Sandler-ers and Jim Carrey-ers.

I'm 35 and I'm a recovering Jim Carrey addict. That said, I had a good all around repertoire in the 90's so I think I can create a diverse but solid list.
26, so I'm kind of in the middle of the people who grew up in the 90's but I was also in the age group where movies for adults were becoming apart of my life.
I'll be 48 on Halloween and I've drunk more beer and banged more quiff and pissed more blood and stomped more ass that all of you numbnuts put together. (also not a 90's movie)
If I were to go with my favorites at the time, I'd be doing as Ripoll states and snagging up all of the Jim Carrey vehicles I could get my hands on. Thankfully I won't be playing favorites as such. I am running my choices by favorites, however. The end of the 90s is when I started waking up to films (even though I count 2001 and 2004 as the benchmarks for my own cinephilia) and many of these films mean a great deal to me.
I'm starting to anticipate this more than anything I have on the horizon right now. Bring it on.
I'm 39 1/2. The death rattles of my youth keep me up at night. Nevertheless, I am eager to participate so that I may see how Poxy fills his dance card when the decade at issue contains no eligible Indy Jones or Lord 'O Rings movies.
<--- That's old-school '90s edge removal right there.
I'm 42. Which put the 90s right in my filmwatching wheelhouse.
BTW, because of my work schedule, I'm going to request to be put at the end of the day. I don't want to delay any picks. Yeah, I'd rather draft early, but it's still satisfying to snag something that people forgot about.
I'm kinda hoping drafters go for the less than obvious here... but judging the tally of some who signed up, looks like we're gonna be in American territory here.
I've crafted a selection of 50 films. I only expect 6 of them to get drafted before I have the chance to select them. As usual, I will follow a pattern.
I usually take the approach that there are a million good films from the period I've seen, so why worry too much. However, this time I've got 5 films. I know I'll get my first one, and reasonably certain nobody's going to draft the last one... it's the middle three I worry about. I just wish I knew which of them was most likely to get sniped, so I could prioritize.
Yeah, that's the conundrum. In the 70s draft, I let my first choice, Man Who Would Be King, slide until the third round I think, just as a gambit. It paid off. But in the 60s, I picked Lord of the Flies round one, and it probably could have lasted a couple rounds.
I'm winging it this time. I have perhaps a couple dozen films listed, but generally I let the draft dictate what direction I go in. Find the niche that others aren't taking advantage of. In the Action draft, it was the classics.
I have a couple of themes that I can follow through on, but the first order of business is to get a first rounder I genuinely love.
I think we had about 40 people for the 80's draft. Of course, you always lose a few after the first couple of rounds, it seems.
I have a broad theme that I really want to stick with, and I have about 50 or so titles that work. I'm not too proud to abandon that fucker, though, if things get rough.
My first two picks are locked in. If I can get both of them I might try going for a theme of sorts, but I have no concrete list besides those two movies. There are a few I want but don't expect to get.
