Most famous among those?
I know this debate is splitting hairs because they're all famous and everyone knows that, but I think Pulp Fiction.
Maybe not initially but I think it has grown to a level surpassing the others.
The iconography of the briefcase, the gimp, Uma Thurman's bowl hair. And Travolta recapturing his 70s identity with his famous dance scene. A royale with cheese and so much memorabilia...it surpasses Goodfellas in my eyes although Goodfellas is certainly Top 3 of the decade.
Schindlers List doesnt have as much iconography but it is war so it does have the added extent of a wide, overreaching appeal. Some people wouldn't be interested in gangster movies, but not sure if theres anyone who would just completely avoid war movies altogether.
I think Fargo is easily the least known of the 4.
My Mann fanboyism would incline me to say Heat but I know people who found it cold and more people got nothing out of it than the others where most people at least got something out of them.
If Denzel did Se7en like originally planned I think itll easily skyrocket to Top 3...it has enough iconography even without Denzel.
