"the writing is on the wall..."
First, let me say this - and this is unrelated to the year 1995: I saw Anchorman last night. It was funny but I found a mistake in it. After Veronica makes it as Ron's co-anchor all the news articles start coming out and on one of them it says "Veronica Cornerstone" and her last name was Corningstone. Just thought I would point that out. My favorite scene I think was the fight between all the news teams. Oh - and I love Paul Rudd in any movie, this one's no different! "It's called Sex Panther by Odeon; it's illegal in nine countries. It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good."
10 Top Grossing Movies of 1995 (I was just as surprised by some of these as you will be)

2. Batman Forever (Best line: "A girl can't live by psychoses alone... What is it about the wrong kind of man? In grade school it was guys with earrings. College, motorcycles, leather jackets. Now, *oh*, black rubber." ~ Dr Chase Meridian)
1. Toy Story (Best line: "I'd better shave." ~ Mr. Potato Head, pulling off his moustache)
Some movies that SHOULD have made this list in place of others: Dangerous Minds (13), Braveheart - won best picture that year (17), Legends of the Fall (26), maybe even Clueless (31) - but I could just be saying that because it was a movie that depicted the time and some of the girls in my school to a "T", French Kiss (42).
