And for the uninitiated, let us give a gist about the films. Tom Hanks-starrer Forrest Gump was the top-grossing film in North-America that year and had even won 6 Oscars including Best Film, Best Actor and Best Director. Popular filmmaker Steven Speilberg gave us one of the most loved franchises of Hollywood with Jurassic Park and the first installment was released in that year. And next up was Simba (not the Ranveer Singh film), the character from The Lion King needs no introduction. Talking about The Shawshank Redemption, we will just say that with over 20 lakh votes and getting 9.3 out of 10, the film still holds the top spot in the list of IMDb's best films. Last but definitely not the least, we have a wacky and kickass film titled Pulp Fiction from the kickass and stylish filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, which became a cult classic of recent times.
