You've got Brothers Keeper and BASEketball...I thought I'd be the only one to represent those polar opposite movies. Plus Grosse Pointe Blank and Funny Games
thanks for your message. I think a top 100 would be a bit too much in my case, cause I ain't that of a big movie fan ^^
I think the 90s were a good movie decade - I would also like to see a thread about all time favorites
But here goes my small chart:
1. Funny Games/ Funny Games U.S (go for the U.S-Version; it is probably the best movie of all time)
1. Perfect Blue (sometimes this is my favorite movie; it kinda depends how I feel)
3. Fight Club
4. Matrix
5. Pulp Fiction (creative and unique movie)
6. Good Will Hunting
7. Forrest Gump
8. American Beauty
9. Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion (only watchable if you have seen the show)
10. Schindler's List
11. Saving Private Ryan
12. The Silence of the Lambs
13. The Shawshank Redemption
14. Ghost in the Shell (sadly too short but nice philosophical stuff here)
15. Reservoir Dogs
16. Three Colors: RED
17. Porco Rosso
18. Yang guang can lan de ri zi
19. Love Letter
20. Huo zhe (gem)

Thanks for the list Peppa, will tally now . In The Heat of The Sun is going to go on my list too. Just need to wriggle it in somewhere...
(Like Gowi said, Funny Games will be the Austrian version for the poll, but nothing wrong with giving the US version a shoutout)
And I'll keep an eye on your list Chief, all good.
Thanks for the PM Hayden.
I tried the best i could, but i must say i didn't realized how lackluster the 90's were before making that list. I struggled to find 50 good movies, and some of them wouldn't even make top 100 in any other decade. Also i limited myself to one movie per director, otherwise it might as well be called top 50 movies by Cronenberg and the Cohen brothers.
Also before anyone ask, i didn't saw any Kiarostami or the Three Colors trilogy yet, but i plan on remedying this soon. I will likely edit this post before the deadline.

There's really very few sports satire movies, and BASEketball has a lot of great jabs at American Professional sports. Plus we get this line from Al Michaels.
Also before anyone ask, i didn't saw any Kiarostami or the Three Colors trilogy yet, but i plan on remedying this soon. I will likely edit this post before the deadline.
Thanks Fast-and-Bulbous, list looks great
I'll keep an eye out on it if you feel like adding some new watches (don't worry about a rounded number if the lists ends up being 55, 57 entries, etc.. etc...)
Thanks for the PM Hayden.

If you're struggling to make a long enough list, you could always just limit yourself to two or three movies per director instead of one. Cronenberg only made 4 films in the 90s -- and one of them's M. Butterfly.
