5 Movies that Changed Hollywood
\u201cOur picks for the flicks of the past 20 years that infused filmmaking with a new spirit.\u201d
By Owen Gleiberman and Lisa Schwarzbaum<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ocean\u2019s Eleven<\/a> (2001) \u2013 HU DVD 1792<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Steven Soderbergh wasn\u2019t the first fluky wunderkind director to cross over to the corporate Hollywood of the blockbuster era (that would be Tim Burton, with 1989\u2019s Batman). But in this exhilarating, star-packed shell game of a heist comedy, he was the first to prove that you could be a popcorn entertainer by making more than a comic book. \u2013OG<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pulp Fiction<\/a> (1994) \u2013 HU DVD 1244<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In his famous tale of talk-happy hoodlums, Quentin Tarantino flipped time and wove the hippest pop references of the century into his filmmaking DNA. What it all added up to is that he reinvented the primal pleasures of screen narrative. -OG<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Toy Story<\/a> (1995) \u2013 HU DVD 7768<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pixar\u2019s first feature length movie demonstrated the potential magic of CGI with such brilliance that the light is still being reflected back to us today. And in that explosion of enrgy, we glimpsed a timeless trtuth: Technology is great, but story is even greater. \u2013LS<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hoop Dreams<\/a> (1994) \u2013 HU DVD 1890<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Two high school basketball players come to embody a giant complex portrait of American society in this magnificent documentary. Today\u2019s audience for nonfiction films can thank it for profoundly changing the game. -LS
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Blair Witch Project<\/a> (1999) \u2013 HU DVD 24<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A horror film that seemed almost real. For a decade it was an anomaly, but the influence of Blair Witch is just starting to be fully felt, as the faux-documentary drama becomes a touchstone of the reality age. -OS<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
