Mine is something like:
Pulp Fiction
Schindler's List
Fargo
The Shawshank Redemption
The Silence of the Lambs
Unforgiven
Office Space
Face/Off
Men in Black
Dumb and Dumber
1. Goodfellas
2. A Few Good Men
3. Saving Private Ryan
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Heat
6. Silence of the Lambs
7. Unforgiven
8. Titanic
9. The Sixth Sense
10. Apollo 13
Damn, this was a great decade! Honorable mention:
Jurassic Park, The Matrix, The Shawshank Redemption, Braveheart, Schindlers List, Ghost, Resevoir Dogs, The Fugitive, Jerry Maguire, LA Confidential, The Green Mile
Again, this is off the top of my head, so I may be forgetting something good. As before, no particular order of preference beyond the first pick:
A Few Good Men - incredible movie. loaded with great performances.
Reservoir Dogs - Tarantino's true masterpiece. Pulp Fiction was also great but tried too hard.
The Daytrippers - one of the best slice of life films I've ever seen
Deconstructing Harry - another of Woody Allen's short list greats
Husbands and Wives - ditto
Fargo
South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut - honestly, I am amazed at how good this movie is. It's sort of like when you were a kid and you bought C-3PO's cereal just because of the Star Wars tie-in, but it turned out the cereal was really, really good.
Sneakers - great cast, great story
Swingers - I admit it - the "Rat Pack" jargon doesn't hold up so well over the years, but it's still a fantastic movie. Vince Vaughn was never better.
The Spanish Prisoner - a wonderful homage to suspense films of the 1950's - in color!
