Probably the most difficult compilation dedicated to one particular year. 1994 was blessed with a lot of gems; the trouble is, a lot of them haven't aged so well. Hence, this is a much shorter list than I expected:
Cemetery Man AKA Dellamorte Dellamore (Michele Soavi)
Dumb and Dumber (Peter Farrelly, Bobby Farrelly)
Ed Wood (Tim Burton)
Fist of Legend (Gordon Chan)
Fresh (Boaz Yakin)
In the Mouth of Madness (John Carpenter)
The Last Seduction (John Dahl)
No Escape (Martin Campbell)
Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino)
Shallow Grave (Danny Boyle)
Made the terrible mistake of watching the director's cut of Jean-Luc Besson's Leon a few years ago. My appreciation for it was forever tarnished with a bunch of nonce stuff which was wisely trimmed out from the theatrical cut. Haven't revisited the film ever since.
1994 was also the year when Cameron Diaz lit up the silver screen in the film The Mask. Never looked as hot ever again, in my opinion.

Someone at the movie club suggested Leon to be screened. So glad that suggestion got shut down.
I liked Heavenly Creatures at the time, but I've never rewatched it.
One of those rare occasions where the studio got it right.
