Pleasantville (1998)

I cant believe how old this movie is. Time just passed by, but this movie still remains, its good, original, funny and has a sweet story. Young Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon are great!

Two 1990’s teenagers find themselves in a 1950’s sitcom where their influence begins to profoundly change that complacent world.

Plot:

A brother and sister from the 1990s are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves trapped in a 1950s style television show. Here they have loving parents, old fashioned values, and an overwhelming amount of innocence and naivety. Not sure how to get home, they integrate themselves into this “backwards” society and slowly bring some color to this black and white world. But as innocence fades, the two teens begin to wonder if their 90s outlook is really to be preferred.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

Funny and weird! I wish Johnny would do more of those movies, I liked him so much in the 90s! And Benicio Del Toros accent…wonderful movie.

Plot:

An oddball journalist and his psychopathic lawyer travel to Las Vegas for a series of psychadelic escapades. The big-screen version of Hunter S. Thompson’s seminal psychedelic classic about his road trip across Western America as he and his large Samoan lawyer searched desperately for the “American dream”… they were helped in large part by the huge amount of drugs and alcohol kept in their convertible, The Red Shark.
