1990s in film
Résumé
The decade of the 1990s in film involved many significant developments in cinema. Continuing from the 1980s, low-budget independent films increasingly rose and maintained their popularity in the industry within the decade.
Thousands of full-length films were produced during the 1990s. Many were specifically filmed or edited to be displayed both on theater screens as well as on the smaller TV screens, such as showing close-up scenes during dialog, rather than just wide-angle scenes in a room. The home-video market became a major factor in the total revenue for a film, often doubling its total income.
The decade was notable for both the rise of independent cinema – as well as independent studios such as Miramax, Lions Gate, and New Line – and the advancements in -technology, seen in such films as Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Jurassic Park, and Forrest Gump. Toy Story (1995) became the first feature length film to be completely computer-animated, heralding its use as a tool for filmmakers to achieve new visuals for film.
The Disney Renaissance began in late 1989 with The Little Mermaid, reached its peak in popularity with The Lion King in 1994, and ended in 1999 with Tarzan.
1988's Die Hard established what would become a common formula for many 90s action films, featuring a lone everyman against a colorful terrorist character who's typically holding hostages in an isolated setting. Such films and their sequels are often referred to as "Die Hard on a _____": Under Siege (battleship), Cliffhanger (mountain), Speed (bus), The Rock (prison island), Con Air (prison plane), Air Force One (presidential plane), etc...
A resurgence of disaster films dominated the box office with blockbusters such as Twister, Independence Day, Titanic, and Armageddon.
Several leading figures of 1980s to mid-1990s Hong Kong action cinema migrated to Hollywood with varying success: Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, John Woo, Yuen Woo-ping, Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, etc...
