Post subject: Best Ever Films of the 90's Poll [Cut]
Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.
Looks like we've voted for the next list to focus on the 90's
Same rules as the other editions. Same format, etc... You get the gist.
Anything with an American release date past January 1st 1990 would be accepted, along with any other international release past 2000. Thus, a film released in September 1989 at Cannes, but was later released in the US in February 1990 would still be eligible. I'm not sure what films this would apply to, but I think this is fair. Documentaries will be allowed, but shorts (<40 min) will not. No films released past December 31st 1999 will be accepted.
All lists will be PMed to me, maxing out at 100. The final list will be 100 films. This time around, I'll be accepting lists of any denotation up to 100. The size of your list determines it's weight.
Lists will also be accepted in imdb and letterboxd format. The deadline will be sometime in late August/ early September. _________________ Submit Your List for BEA's 2023 Film Poll!

OBLIGATORY HYPE, 90s EDITION, VOL. 1: Su Friedrich's Sink or Swim (1990)
Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.
Here Friedrich composes a kind of part quasi-documentary, part autobiographical diary film, told in 26 (reverse alphabetically ordered) segments of archival and stock footage of everyday life events from childhood on, accompanied by vaguely poetic and starkly honest narration by which we see the events and inner thoughts surrounding how her ideals and views of fatherhood, child-parent relationships, growing up, and life in general were formed and molded her being.
At times expressing a benign warmth, at others a bitter reality, the film is at various points friendly and universal, outwardly critical, subtly unsettling, unsuspectingly humorous, and always intensely personal. One of my favorites of the decade and of all time.
The only list that would include Jingle All The Way and the Straight Story.
You have the Cremaster Cycle on your list. I may be wrong but the series wasn't completed until 2002. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't presented for viewing until the Guggenheim show in 2002, which is still the single greatest art exhibit I've ever seen. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
Can also be used to check out so good French recs from the 90s. No great hope in seeing them anywhere near top #200, but you can rely on me, they're good.
Thanks for all the lists so far guys I'll be posting my own eventually. I'm hoping to watch 15-20 movies first.
I'm not fully sure what the Cremaster Cycle is, but it seems to have taken place over the course of several years. I'll leave it up to you guys on how to move forward with letting it in or not. _________________ Submit Your List for BEA's 2023 Film Poll!

It's, husband of Bjork, Matthew Barney's 5 part masterpiece, which is part film part installation. Letterbox seems to date the films individually with everything but Cremaster 3 (2002) dated within the 90s. It may make sense to treat them as individual films, considering they're all plenty long enough. And sitting the the entire thing in order isn't likely. But these are most likely completion dates rather than when the public was actually introduced to them.
if they are eligible, they'll likely appear on my list, but I honestly think it makes more sense to treat them as being from the 2000s, unless Applerill has conflicting info. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
