Here's mine (in no particular order except for the first one which is indeed my most favorite movie of that decade):
A Moment Of Innocence - Mohsen Makhmalbaf Good Men, Good Women - Hou Hsiao-hsien Close-Up - Abbas Kiarostami Safe - Todd Haynes The Daytrippers - Greg Mottola The Apple - Samira Makhmalbaf The End Of Violence - Wim Wenders Buffalo '66 - Vincent Gallo
That's only seven. I would also have to add a Richard Linklater movie, but right now I can't decide between Slacker and Before Sunrise. Also, I feel like I can't complete this list without first seeing some more of Bertrand Tavernier's movies from the 90s. Turns out I was very unprepared for this.
But that's my top 7 for sure.
