Ron Howard for me is like a better version of Chris Columbus. A perfectly functional director with just enough craft to make his films work reasonably well. But honestly if you showed me a Howard...

Re: The MoFos Top 100 of the 90s Countdown - Redux

Never was a big fan of Home Alone. I was the wrong age for it when it came out and though I've seen it a few times, including recently, I still think it's very, as the kids say, "mid."

I enjoyed The Fugitive, but I don't think I've seen it again since its original release. My recollection is it was a pretty entertaining film, but no vote from me. Trivia note: Tommy Lee Jones was...

I probably should watch Election again--I liked it fine when I watched it back in the day, but I didn't love it, and I've never entirely warmed up to Payne. But it's so well-regarded that I think I...

Re: The MoFos Top 100 of the 90s Countdown - Redux

I haven't seen either of A Moment of Innocence (this one is entirely new to me) or The Remains of the Day, but I do like a nice, long title so I'll try to check them out.

Lost Highway is one of two (I think? the other being Inland Empire) Lynch films that I haven't seen. I'm a little reluctant now that we know there won't be any more. But I probably will watch it...

A Few Good Men is a fine movie, a solid legal procedural with a satsfying--if pure Hollywood--ending. But this is the '90s! And there are a few better films. Not on my list.

I haven't seen True Romance. Porco Rosso is fine but I don't consider it top tier Miyazaki.

Fallen Angels is excellent, but didn't make my list. That's gonna happen for a lot of good movies in this decade!

The Celebration is a good one. I didn't consider it strongly for my list, but it probably deserves a place.

I haven't seen Sonatine. I'm pretty sure I've seen What's Eating Gilbert Grape about a million years ago; if so I remember nothing of it. Neither on my list, therefore.

One of the 1-pointers is mine. It was definitely going on my list, though I did keep flipping it with my #24 (which I suspect I am also the only one to vote for).
