And is "MoFo Top 100 of the 1990s Part II" the official title we are going with? I would much prefer "Redux" or "Part Deux". And I must preemptively insist the inevitable redo of the 1980s list be dubbed "Electric Boogaloo".

The film i nominated for the 34th Hall of Fame is from the 90s and doesn't get enough recognition because it's pretty much an unknown.
If anyone is interested, Before The Rain (1994). It's 7.8/10 on IMDB and 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. On Ebert's site, 4 out of 5 stars. |
Re: The MoFo 1990s Countdown pt II - Preliminary Thread
Thanks Holden and Torgo for the sci-fi list. I'm looking those movies up at IMDB and seeing which I want to watch. I've seen some of course. I just rewatched 12 Monkeys and liked that. Hope to watch another sci fi tonight.

In general, comedies usually get short shrift on these sorts of lists. I implore all of you to consider more than just one or two obligatory laughers. Comedy is a genre that most of us have on high rewatch, yet when it comes to "best of" lists they are underrepresented.
I have eight movies that can be considered comedies on my ballot. The 1990s titles that made the MoFo Top 100 Comedies were The Big Lebowski (#1), Groundhog Day (#7), Galaxy Quest (#14), Office Space (#18), Dumb & Dumber (#43), Being John Malkovich (#45), My Cousin Vinny (#53), Rushmore (#54), Happy Gilmore (#64), Clerks (#65), Ed Wood (#69), Dazed & Confused (#76), Wayne's World (#82), When Harry Met Sally... (#85), Clueless (#88), Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (#96), Home Alone (#97), Fargo (#98), and South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (#99). My favorites from that crop are Rushmore, Being John Malkovich, When Harry Met Sally..., Galaxy Quest, and Groundhog Day. Some personal all-time favorites that have somehow never made a previous MoFo list include Joe Versus the Volcano (1990), L.A. Story (1991), Defending Your Life (1991), The Freshman (1990), Quick Change (1990), Barcelona (1994), Waiting for Guffman (1996), Get Shorty (1995), and Grosse Pointe Blank (1997). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZEbLVD72hY |

I'm sure ppl who know me will say, "Why is THAT on your list?" Because I can relate to it. |

I would think Good Will Hunting and possibly Aladdin are the closest thing Robin Williams has to locks on the Redux ballot. Matt & Ben's opus was the only Robin movie to make the original '90s countdown. |

Seriously, I'm calling it officially "Redux" as in the first post header. |
