To make this list a movie had to be made in 1991. Obviously many movies made in 1990 earned box office dollars in 1991. On the other side many movies made in 1991 made money in 1992 and later. This page will looks at over 200 movies made in 1991. The movies are listed in two massive tables that lets you rank the movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information.
1991 Movies Ranked In Chronological Order With Ultimate Movie Rankings Score (1 to 5 UMR Tickets) *Best combo of box office, reviews and awards.
1991 Movies Can Be Ranked 6 Ways In This Table
The really cool thing about this table is that it is “user-sortable”. Rank the movies anyway you want.
- Sort 1991 Movies by movie titles and movie trailers
- Sort 1991 Movies by the stars or in some cases the director of the movie.
- Sort 1991 Movies by domestic adjusted box office grosses using current movie ticket cost (in millions)
- Sort 1991 Movies how they were received by critics and audiences. 60% rating or higher should indicate a good movie.
- Sort by how many Oscar® nominations each 1990 Movies received and how many Oscar® wins each 1991 Movies received.
- Sort 1991 Movies by Ultimate Movie Ranking Score (UMR). Our UMR score puts box office, reviews and awards into a mathematical equation and gives each movie a score.
1991 was a pivotal year for me as a moviegoer as, being a lazy kind of guy who doesn’t like going out in bad weather and/or jostling with cinema queues, I largely forsook the movie houses and instead became a regular customer at the local video libraries. Although nowadays I am tee-total I loved nothing better, especially on a Saturday night, than sitting down in at home with my bottle of wine and watching the latest movies.
I have seen 8 of the top 20 biggest box office hits in the table above and my own Top 10 fave films overall are:
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves – Costner’s heyday
Silence of the Lambs- Enter Doctor Lecter
The Prince of Tides-My Babs in her heyday
Doc Hollywood
Bugsy
Point Break
The Fisher King
The Doctor-possibly my fave among the 10
Deceived
Regarding Henry – I watched this again just last night.
As this annual review has brought back to me those nostalgic nights was back in the 1990s that I have described above I can do nothing other than greet it with a “Vote Up!”
Hey Bob….thanks for the feedback on our 1991 movie page. Getting excited about finishing these yearly reviews…over the weekends…did the research on 1992, 1993 and 2010…..granted I have not written the pages on those…but in my mind…that only leaves 15 years to do. I long journey…since one day at HubPages…I thought….I should do a page on a year….and I picked 1946 as that year.
The 1990s were near the end of the peak years for video stores…but they had a good run….I remember working on Saturdays in my video store….and those nights were packed with customers…..so I can easily picture you headed to the store and getting all the latest movies.
As for your favorites…seen all of hem…with Doc Hollywood, The Fisher King and Robin Hood being movies I really like. Regarding Henry was Harrison Ford’s attempt to get an Oscar….it did not work….but…it is still a good movie. WoC just watched it a couple of weekends ago…you and her are on the same movie wavelength.
Movies and wine….Pierre approves that combo….good stuff as always.
HI BRUCE. First congratulations on producing a staggering number of annual reviews at even this juncture and on almost reaching 300 individual-star pages. In its entirety your site represents a gigantic reference reservoir for movie buffs like me and I’m sure many other types of viewers besides.
Indeed I said to W o Bob the other night “If that Brucie guy was retired like me and didn’t have so many day jobs he’d probably have written THE Bible on movie stats and ratings by now! As it is he’s nearly in The Promised Land!”
Thanks for sharing with me your own Video Days memories. The first video library opened in 1981 in East Belfast where I live and the owner told me once that on opening night there were Star Wars-type queues round the block.
The end result was that when those at the back of the queues finally got in all the great stuff of that time had gone and they took “any old thing” just to go home with a video -probably even a Jason Statham one if he’d been around at that time. The first video that I ever watched was a 1988 horror movie called Rush Week starring Roy Thinnes – just a 47% rating from IMDB [cant’s spot it in your 1988 review] but I didn’t care because it was a thrill in itself just to watch it at home!
Regarding Henry is my fave Harrison Ford film but I liked him in Working Girl, What Lies Beneath, the Sabrina remake and his supporting stint in Apocalypse Now. Indeed if he had made more of dramatic/comedy films and less of the action stuff [especially as he got older] I probably would have been a greater fan of his than even you are as I understand it! By the way I suppose you already know that his Col Lucas in Apocalypse Now was a homage reference to his great Star Wars “mentor” GEORGE Lucas? [The Empire Strikes Back was released about 9 months after Apocalypse Now.] Anyway take care.
Okaaay…. I’ve seen 78 of the 218 films on the chart. Less than I thought. Looking at my datafiles – I have 73 films from 1991 in my movie collection.
Favorites include –
Addams Family ,The
American Tail 2 ,An
Backdraft
Beauty and the Beast
Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey
Bugsy
Cape Fear (1991)
City Slickers
Flight of the Intruder
Hard Way ,The
Highlander II (Renegade Edition)
Hook
Hot Shots !
JFK (Director’s Cut)
Last Boy Scout ,The
Naked Gun 2
Oscar
Out for Justice
Perfect Weapon ,The
Point Break
Robin Hood – Prince of Thieves
Rocketeer ,The
Shattered
Showdown in Little Tokyo
Silence of the Lambs ,The
Sleeping With The Enemy
Star Trek VI – The Undiscovered Country
Terminator 2 – Judgment Day
Thelma and Louise
Toy Soldiers
zz-China – Once Upon a Time in China
zz-Japan – Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah
Biggest film of the year worldwide and domestic in unadjusted dollars was Terminator 2, followed by Robin Hood. I’m assuming Beauty and the Beast earned more dollars in later rereleases.
Silence of the Lambs won the top 5 awards at the Oscars the following year, I still remember Billy Crystal’s entrance at the awards in Hannibal Lecter mask, Anthony Hopkins in the audience laughing.
Another epic movie page Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve. Thanks for the tally, visit and the comment. Where to start? Beauty and the Beast did not get too many re-releases in theaters…..by 1991….the home entertainment market was a major revenue generator for Disney……the negative of that is….it pretty much stopped the generation releases of their classics. Movies like Aladdin, Lion King, Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast pretty much had one major release. Disney’s answer to that lost revenue? Live action versions of the movie. Beauty and the Beast got a remake. Aladdin and The Lion King get releases later this year. The Little Mermaid is due next year. I imagine, Disney liked the old version better….just release the old movie to theaters…versus making a new movie (Dumbo, Mary Poppins Returns). I am looking forward to Super Dad (only this time Kurt Russell can play the dad).
I have seen all of your favorites with the exception of the “zz” ones and Showdown in Tokyo. Hidden gems for me would be Only The Lonely (John Candy is stellar) Defending Your Life (Albert Brooks’ best movie?) and Hudson Hawk (yes parts were bad….but the main story was interesting….and seemed to have been borrowed heavily by Dan Brown in his epic book The Da Vinci Code. Good stuff as always.
Hi Bruce, thanks again for this ranking !
1991 was one of my favorite year regarding movies …. Some of them are my all time favorites …
Terminator 2 ; the Silence of the Lambs, Cape Fear , Hook, Beauty and the Beast and Robin Hood !
For me, the remake of cape fear is better than the original starring Robert Mitchum, Terminator 2 is also better than the first one …Which is quite rare regarding sequels …And altough i prefer the 1938 Robin Hood version, prince of thieves is quite good !
Some time ago, I had sent you several messages asking you to put more worldwide box office adjusted grosses/ estimated ticket sales especially for older movies (1930-1990) …
Since then, I made a lot of research and I must confess that I am today almost convinced that it is useless because totally imprecise concerning the oldest films from 1930-1990…
Most of the time, to get a global adjusted or ticket sales result we take the total Usa box office + foreign gross and divide it all by the average Usa ticket price at the time to get an approximate total admissions number ….
The big problem is that the prices of movie tickets in other countries were sometimes different from those in the USA and also varied differently depending on inflation …
I even think that for pre-1980 films, foreign rentals are practically unworkable … The average multiplier to convert rentals to box office grosses is probably changing from country to country in different ways….
As far as I could see, some websites try to practice rankings of “all time adjusted box office grosses” but each time the results are different and movies didn’t have the same global grosses …
On the other hand box office mojo does not practice that and variety either… They just adjust the usa numbers which seems more coherent …
Moreover, I find that it is sometimes difficult even by treating only USA rentals or grosses figures mainly beacuse of re-releases or the cases of movies released at the end of the year, etc….Then to estimate that at the global level would be even more complicated
For a long time I thought that the more information we could collect and process, the closer we would get to an exact figure, but on the other hand, the more information we process, the more likely we are to go wrong! So keeping only usa figures with the average price available seems to be the best we can do and it’s even hard sometimes only on that level !
What’s your opinion about that ? Do you think that for the old films of the period 1930 1990 it is not relevant to make worldwide adjusted grosses estimations ? ?
Thanks a lot and keep going ! 🙂
Hey Max.
1. As always….it is good to hear from you.
2. Glad you like this yearly review.
3. Having 6 all-time favorites in one year is pretty impressive.
4. I am right there with you on Terminator 2: Judgement.
5. I like and enjoyed all of the other 5……just not enough to make my all-time favorites list.
6. Of your 6 favorites…I saw T2, Hook and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves in packed theaters…..it was a great movie going experience.
7. Interesting points about worldwide box office.
8. Do you have your research listed anywhere?….seems like it would be worth posting it somewhere.
9. As for the issues with calculating worldwide grosses…..yes indeed….you have mentioned some major hurdles. Nobody…..will be able to give a perfect box office number for movies made before 1980.
10. Even with the issues…..I still think it is possible to put together a reasonable estimation…in many ways like paleontologists…we will never know what dinosaurs really really looked like…..but by putting the puzzle pieces together…we can at least get a general idea of what worldwide grosses were.
11. I always say…..our estimated numbers might not get your actual address….but we feel pretty comfortable that we can locate your neighborhood.
12. I think anybody that claims they have the actual gross is somebody that is not looking at all the facts (many you listed).
Good stuff.
Hi Bruce, I am very busy lately; I unfortunately do not have too much time to devote myself to box office figures but I continue to regularly look at your site which is the best on the subject !
As i said it to you, after a lot of investigations, i have totally abandonned the idea of making a list of movies by numbers of tickets sold or adjusted for inflation in Europe or worldwide because :
1) It takes much more time and energy i ever imagine…
2) the figures available or numbers of admissions are too incomplete for an accurate global ranking … A lot of countries are missing and some figures seems unofficial ….
3) Because of what I mentioned in my previous comment, there are too many sources of errors at the international level…. It seems useless to me now to make a global ranking of movies adjusted for inflation or by tickets sold for the period 1930 – 2000….
For exemple :
Guiness Book lists the top ten movies worldwide adjusted for inflation ; their list and figures differs from yours and it’s the same thing for every type of list i’ve seen…. They are all different each other…. on this subject …. It simply means that it is too difficult due to the lack of information ; the average ticket prices used for conversion of rentals or some other issues i’ve also mentionned before such as ticket price which differs by country/period…
Even in the US it’s very difficult … I’ll take only one exemple : Swiss family robinson (1960)
Box office mojo and the numbers lists the movie with 40 000 000 $ gross in 1960…
It’s an immense mistake … This figure is in fact the total gross of many reissues in the usa /
According to Variety the domestic rentals are :
-1960 8 100 000 (original issue)
-1969 6 400 000
-1972 2 000 000
-1975 2 000 000
For a grand total of approximatively 20 000 000 $ rentals … Then i suppose that BOM and the Numbers multiply it by 2 and they have their grand total of 40 000 000 $ gross …..Ignoring the fact that most of half rentals numbers come from reissues with another average ticket price of course …
There are a lot of movies with the same issues just with domestic numbers …. Imagine that on an international level …..
As you now, i’m only interested by vintage stuff : movies released in the US between 1930-2000
I also made a few researches of average ticket price in european countries VS USA ; i give you a few examples :
i converted the ticket prices in US $ so you can compare them very easily :
France : Uk : Us :
-1940 : 0.070 -1940 : 0.24
-1950 : 0.11 -1950 : 0.53
-1960 : 0.31 -1960 : 0.17 -1960 : 0.69
-1970 : 0.82 -1970 : 0.41 -1970 : 1.55
-1980 : 2.76 – 1980 : 1.87 -1980 : 2.69
-1990 : 5.37 -1990 : 3.69 -1990 : 4.23
-2000 : 10.42 -2000 : 5.72 -2000 : 5.39
Those numbers speaks by themselves …..
Imagine if a movie released in 1970 made 15 000 000 $ in the Usa and 15 000 000 $ overseas for a grand total of 30 000 000 $ ( in gross)
To obtain the numbers of tickets sold we must made : 30 000 000 / 1.55 (average usa ticket price) = 19 354 838 tickets sold worldwide
It means that the movie sold 9 677 419 tickets in the usa and also the same number overseas ….
But if we use the average ticket price in the UK in 1970 : 0.41 $ to convert the 15 000 000 $ gross overseas we obtain : 15 000 000 / 0.41 = 36 585 365 tickets sold overseas !!! Almost the double of the tickets price sold worldwide according to our first estimation with the average usa ticket price !! And the gap could even be worse using other years ….
The best way to compare movies is using the apple to apple method…. Not the apple to orange or apple to banana….
I understand your point of view when you said that : “our estimated numbers might not get your actual address….but we feel pretty comfortable that we can locate your neighborhood.”
I know we are dealing with movies figures so it’s not serious things in a way but imagine that your neighbor is a wanted criminal and that the police will arrest you in his place because according to their estimates, the guy they are looking for must be in this area…..
After all my researches that’s my vision of worldwide estimations for old movies now…
Of course Thunderball performed better worldwide than License to Kill ; of course bridge on the river kwai made more admissions in the world than full metal jacket …. But we cannot give an accurate global number for those movies so it’s useless to put them in a global ranking because if a ranking isn’t accurate it’s not a ranking by definition….
On the other hand, the funny thing is that i now agree with you that using only the US numbers is the best method because :
1)The films we are interested in are those released in the united states
2) It is the biggest “unified” market so it represents a very big part of the income of a film
3) the box office figures are centralized at the scale of a single country unlike Europe….
In addition I prefer to discover movies at the moment rather than looking for their rentals/grosses … I did that for too long and I almost forgot the pleasure of taking the time to discover old movies … We can also finally wonder why are we doing all this research on film revenues …. In my case, it was to have a global list of films released in the US between 1930 and 2000 and have been successful in the box office ….. With your yearly reviews I have access to all that and it’s good enough for me !….
For cinema, I only have one thing to say : “God bless America” 😉
Hey Max……great comment….with lots of great information. Thanks for sharing it. Good examples of how daunting a task this really is. Swiss Family Robinson is a great example to use. In our database we have Swiss Family Robinson listed with about 13 million in rentals and $37 million in gross…..that is what it takes to use all the re-release numbers…and come up with a career total. If I were to used their total rental number of $20 million the adjusted gross would go to $57.00 million gross. We did not even attempt a worldwide number for that movie.
“I know we are dealing with movies figures so it’s not serious things in a way but imagine that your neighbor is a wanted criminal and that the police will arrest you in his place because according to their estimates, the guy they are looking for must be in this area…..”…I like this thought…it made me laugh.
I have already put your US/France/UK tickets into our database…..there is a section for information like this….thanks again for sharing it. Glad you like our yearly reviews so much…when we look at our view totals….those yearly reviews have become some of our biggest view getters…..and it keeps picking up steam…..right now our 1939, 1946 and 1952 pages are among our Top 25 most popular pages of alltime on our website. We should knock out the rest of the 1990s pretty quickly…..1992 and 1993 are ready to go….and 1994 is already published.
Thanks again for sharing all of this information…your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Hi Bruce, i still have a question to which I have no answer …
Maybe you have some informations …
I noticed that for many movies of the 90’s, box office mojo sometimes makes a detailed list of grosses in dollars that some movies have made in countries outside the united states ….
here is an example : https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&id=gladiator.htm
And very often, despite the difference in ticket prices between the usa and the rest of the world, if we divide the dollar gross of each country by the average ticket price in the United States at the time we get approximatively the number of admissions that these films have made in the country concerned (i have the admissions numbers of a lot of movies in Europe so i can compare them with the gross published by box office mojo) ….
The question is the following … How box office mojo gets these revenues in dollars per country?
Do they get the number of tickets sold per country and multiply them by the US ticket price of the year concerned to obtain a foreign gross in dollar country by country or is it more like revenue that is given by the countries concerned in their respective currencies and then box office mojo converts them into dollars ?
As in the 90s the ticket prices were generally the same in europe and the usa, the gap in the entries is then relatively small….
What’s your opinion about that ?
1991, JFK was my best film of the year. The following by your rankings I see in cinemas back then, 1-9,11-26,28-38,40-47,49,53,54,56-60,66,72-75,78,80,82-85,88,89,92,94,96,97,103,104,108-110,112-114,117-119,122,123,125,126,128,129,131-133,138,139,144,148-151,153-159,165,166,169-171,174-178,180-183,185,187,190,192,193,195-197,199,200,202,204-206,208-211,213-218 (always seem to have seen the bottom ones).
Here are 59 other 1991 flics I have seen since then through various other sources (TV channel, tape or DVD). Key is film, studio, date seen, source.

Hey Dan…..another epic year of movie watching for you. A round of applause. My tally of 5 movies seen in theaters is nothing compared to your massive totals. I liked JFK…..but did not love it….mainly because I am not a huge Kevin Costner fan. But I respect your opinion on that movie….it does have one heck of a cast. I think there are now 12 pages on UMR that rank that movie…..that is one of the most on the website.
Congrats on being one of the few people to see Beastmaster 2 in theaters….I bet it was a lonely theater…..lol. As bad as that movie might be…..it is still cool to think….that of all the people that were walking the Earth at that time….you were one of the few to do something (see Marc Singer’s sequel)….heck you might be the only person not related to people that worked on the movie to actually pay to see it….unless of course you are one of those relatives…lol.
Good stuff as always.
I’ve seen a number of movies down thee year where I am the only person at a screening and some have been in the opening week where the fikm made 40 million or so on the weekend! I remember going to 1 dud about 1989 or so called Pizza Man that was only in 1 theater in New York and I was the only person there. It starred Bill Maher (I didn’t know who he was then).
I just bought your book from Amazon. I’m cheap, had to wait to find something else I wanted or needed to get free shipping (think it’s $25 or $35 for free shipping).
Should be down the years and film.
Hey Dan…got it.
Hey Dan….thanks for buying the book……that is greatly appreciated. Hope you enjoy the book. Interesting story about Pizza Man…..I knew about the Pizza Man of 2011……about a guy that eats a pizza and becomes a superhero…..it features Stan Lee in a cameo. But I was unaware of Maher’s 1991’s Pizza Man. In 27 years it has gotten a grand total of 147 votes on IMDB. Amazing that in New York City, you were the only one in the theater….in the only theater showing it in NYC. Fun information. And thanks again for buying the book.
I have seen 22 movies from 1991. 14 of them are in the top 20.

Hey Flora….thanks for checking out our latest yearly review….it seems strange to see that these movies are 28 years old. Seems like only yesterday that I was watching them when they were brand new. 22 seen is a decent total….and 70% of the Top 20 is even more impressive. I have seen 118 of these movies….but only 5 of them in theaters. At this point in my life….I was married with one child (Bryan) and one on the way (Scotty). I was working two jobs (one was on the night shift) so getting to theaters was not too easy back then….but hitting video stores on the weekend was the main source of entertainment back then.
I have seen all of your favorites…with The Fisher King and Star Trek VI being my favorites as well. I enjoyed Backdraft more than you….as that would be in my Top 5. Even with a downer of an ending….I watch that one every couple of years. Hook was a major disappointment. Cape Fear is nowhere near as impressives as the original. It is good to see Peck appearing a couple of times on this yearly review. Good stuff as always.
