107836, There's only been about a dozen greatest films made in the past 30 years
Posted by Wordman, Sun Aug-05-12 08:14 PM
And a dozen is being generous.
And like I said before, if none of them are better than LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, it's easy to see why they didn't make the list.
But here goes, off the top...
THERE WILL BE BLOOD
AMADEUS
PULP FICTION
FARGO
THE USUAL SUSPECTS (someone made a somewhat salient point about the dearth of "crime genre" flicks on the S&S list, from the 1950s to now)
DO THE RIGHT THING (maybe MALCOLM X)
whatever PIXAR flick is your favorite.
whatever '90S DISNEY flick is your favorite.
MAYBE BLACK SWAN
MAYBE something by Steven Soderbergh.
MAYBE AMERICAN BEAUTY
MAYBE MOULIN ROUGE (if you gotta include a musical)
MAYBE CROUCHING TIGER (if you gotta include some kung-fu)

But feel free to let me know what comedies of the past 30s years I've missed.
