"It was 20 yrs ago today!" - 5 Movies that it's hard to believe are 20 yrs old this year!!

Just to prove that time really does fly I've compiled a list of 5 films that simply won't believe that it's been 20 years since they first graced our screens. Feel free to add any films to the list in the comment box or on social media:


5. Men in  Black 
It's 20 years since this summer blockbuster from Barry Sonnenfield exploded onto our screens. Superb effects, smart script and an engaging cast that included Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made this the hit of the summer season (and also had Will Smith's theme tune ringing in our years relentlessly!)



4. The Full Monty 
The surprise hit of the year that ended in an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, this hilarious comedy gave a series of gifted actors the exposure they truly deserved and was yet another film that year that contained a solid soundtrack! Remember those....soundtracks?



3.Good Will Hunting 
Seems like only yesterday that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon announced themselves emphatically on the world stage with this joint penned Oscar winning drama, packed with powerful performances, none more so than the Oscar winning late great Robin Williams.



2.Titanic 
Twenty years on and still Celine Dion's warbling haunts my dreams! Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet star in this epic, record breaking James Cameron directed smash that even saw non cinema goers buy a ticket to see what all the fuss was about!



1.As Good As It Gets 
Scene stealing performance from Oscar winner Jack Nicholson in this James L. Brooks movie that gives us a fresh perspective on the romantic comedy genre. An award winning turn by Helen Hunt and some terrific one-liners have made this a historically quotable film that has aged remarkably well.
