>>1. What are your top ten favorite films of the 1990s?

>Tough one, but in no order:

>Hoop Dreams (1994)
>Goodfellas (1990)
>The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

>Fargo (1996)
>Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
>Jackie Brown (1997)
>Rushmore (1998)

>Pretty standard PTP fare, I guess.

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.
