The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown

I'll have 6 that won't make the cut.

Tarzan
Back to the Future Part III
Pleasantville
Thelma and Louise
Run Lola Run
Wild at Heart

To be fair, I'm very happy with 19. A lot of the ones I thought were 50/50 shots ended up making the list - The Straight Story, Before Sunrise, Dazed and Confused, Happiness, Heavenly Creatures...

I was going to do this once the list was over. I still think I'll wait.

I'll do that when the list is over. Who knows maybe Satantango will make it at the first place? LOL

Look, I'm not judging you - after all, I'm posting here myself, but maybe, just maybe, if you spent less time here and more time watching films, maybe, and I stress, maybe your taste would be of some value. Just a thought, ya know.

I'll also post my votes when the countdown is complete.

Since my number 1 pick didn't even make top 5 (Daniel!), I'm hoping Fight Club takes it instead. It probably won't. But maybe number 2. I can hope anyway.

teeter - Love the new avatar. Crowe was fantastic in Romper Stomper.

Thank you. I enjoyed his performance in the movie, and the movie itself was pretty good! I had actually never heard of it and went through a list of movies from that year and just picked it out. LOL!

My top 5 didn't make the list. I will publish it after Harry Lime reveals the #1.

My number 1 (The Big Lebowski) and number 3 (Being John Malkovich) made it and my number 2 likely will as well, but the next highest of my list to make it was my number 6 (Edward Scissorhands, which barely squeezed in at #96).

This was my list.

1. The Sixth Sense (1999)
2. Ghost (1990)
3. Stir of Echoes (1999)
4. What Dreams May Come (1998)
5. Phenomenon (1996)
6. The Exorcist III (1990)
7. Jacob's Ladder (1990)

12. Warlock: The Armageddon (1993)
13. In Dreams (1999)
14. The Bikini Carwash Company (1992)
15. The Bikini Carwash Company II (1993)
16. Dream a Little Dream 2 (1995)
17. Wishmaster (1997)

1 point ahead of Shawshank and 2 ahead of Lebowski. That's a close 4-5-6.

Like I said I'm very pleasantly surprised it's this high. I'm proud of you, MoFos.

A fairly good film, well acted (Freeman is reliably good and the patchy Pitt and Spacey are in form), quite atmospheric, not particularly exciting. Worth watching.

Perhaps it would have borne more consideration for my top 100 of the decade than Shawshank did... nah, it's better than that film, but still no chance whatever of getting close to my 100.

This is even worse, if the 3rd place film is 10 points or less ahead of Se7en then that's where I could have got Lebowski

Wow, a very close 3 indeed. I had Se7en at number 23
