Feel free to critique my opinions.

Wasn't Lambs 1990?

Nope. 91.

Oh, I always thought it was 90...

Do you watch Foreign Language films Doc? Just wondering, i know a bunch of members have a problem with subtitles here.

I won't lie... not as often as I should.

Sounds like you are well familiar with Hollywood films, maybe you should check out some foreign films if you have no aversion to them and see what you think.

Just a suggestion after seeing your last 25 years list. Enjoyed your posts so far.

What about 90 & 91?

I think he was doing the last 25 years.

Indeed he was!

OK. So now the question is... what would you say is the single best film of the last 25 years?

For me it's There Will Be Blood.

Either T2 or Show Me Love.

Camo caused me to change a choice. I would say The Master for 2012 as well.

Epic 3 year bump for a thread I'd forgotten about.

2015: The Big Short
2016: Arrival
2017: Not sure yet, haven't seen it but think it could be Blade Runner 2049.

Like Ian said i was doing last 25.

1990 - Goodfellas
1991 - Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmakers Apocalypse

I did 26 anyway, was going to exclude 2017 but i included it anyway.

1992 - an obscure movie nobody ever heard about
1993 - an obscure movie nobody ever heard about
1994 - an obscure movie nobody ever heard about
1995 - an obscure movie nobody ever heard about
1996 - a relatively well-known and well-regarded film to get rep from Mainstream Mafia as well
