The MoFo Top 100 of the Nineties Countdown

Brilliant, though I wish an Independence Day bit could have been put in their since sc and I were bitter.

If that's not the best post in MoFo history then I don't know what is

Don't think I've ever seen a post when someone said you were right, HK.

Ah, they exist. Let's face it, though, there aren't many people smart enough to agree with me.

Agreed.

Well, I wasn't really back and actively posting a lot when the call for the 1990s list was made, months back. Pretty good lookin' list, Y'all. And my personal number one, GoodFellas, was the concensus number one, so my votes wouldn't have changed that outcome, anyway. Some of the others might have shifted up a bit here and there. I doubt any of mine that didn't make the list would have magically made the cut, paired with other invisible votes?

Anyway, since it was kinda moot, I didn't put quite as much thought into it, but here's the list I probably would have turned in, I reckon, with each film's position on the finished list, as is (if any)...

1. GoodFellas, #1
2. Unforgiven, #12
3. Miller's Crossing,#37
4. Rushmore, #87
5. Hamlet (1996)
6. The Thin Red Line, #28
7. SE7EN, #4
8. Fearless (1993)
9. Eyes Wide Shut, #15
10. A Perfect World (1993)
11. Short Cuts, #93
12. Barton Fink, #41
13. 12 Monkeys, #61
14. L.A. Confidential, #8
15. Defending Your Life (1991)
16. Being John Malkovich, #26
17. Dead Man, #35
18. Schizopolis (1996)
19. Ed Wood, #49
20. Joe Versus the Volcano (1990)
21. The Age of Innocence (1993)
22. The Butcher Boy (1997)
23. Groundhog Day, #25
24. Shallow Grave (1994)
25. Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)



Fifteen out of twenty-five, assuming the list didn't change as far as the bottom handful, only positioning. That's about where I'm projecting myself to be on the '80s list, with fifteen or so. Though only three of mine are in the top ten (GoodFellas, SE7EN, and L.A. Confidential). Wonder if I'll go two-for-two with number one picks, when the '80s list is finished?

Cool. I won't miss the '70s list. That's my favorite decade, Turkeys!

I haven't been here for any of the MoFo lists.

Will definitely be here for the 70's list.

One good thing about this countdown that I now see... that stupid Dead Alive movie... the film Gbgoodies made such a fuss over when it was nominated in that "Comedy HOF" thing... it only received 1 point.

I don't dispute that it deserves 1 point in this countdown list, but I still say that Dead Alive didn't belong in a COMEDY HoF.

Looking through my posts in this thread i found the list i sent in for this. It would be a lot different now.

1. Unforgiven - 1992
2. Fight Club - 1999
3. Good Will Hunting - 1997
4. The Usual Suspects - 1995
5. Dazed And Confused - 1993
6. Princess Mononoke - 1997
7. Goodfellas - 1990
8. My Cousin Vinny - 1992
9. Dracula - 1992
10.Forrest Gump - 1994
11.The Big Lebowski - 1998
12.Reservoir Dogs - 1992
13.Once Upon A Time In China - 1991
14.Shawshank Redemption - 1994
15.Sense And Sensibility - 1995
16.As Good As It Gets - 1997
17.Pulp Fiction - 1994
18.Se7en - 1995
19.A Bronx Tale - 1993
20.Silence Of The Lambs - 1991
21.L.A Confidential - 1997
22.The Lion King - 1994
23.Interview With The Vampire - 1994
24.What About Bob? - 1991
25.All About My Mother - 1999

Well the comedy HOF is pretty much dead, but Dead Alive was much funnier than some of the nominated films. Anyway if I'd seen it in time for this countdown I might have voted for it.

Guess who gave it that point.

This was my list. Probably wouldn't look much different today, actually. Well the content wouldn't change much. The order would though.

I actually still have everyone's lists. The spreadsheet too. I thought I lost it, had to ask Daniel for the excel file again, but I found it all. If you want it without having to dig through the thread PM me.

Also, this was a crazy thread. Lots of fun.

Oh my God, we are not seriously bringing up the Dead Alive bullsh*t again, are we? That is a sh*tstain of a memory for all of us, I'm pretty sure.

This was my list and I'm proud of it:

1. Pump Up The Volume
2. Scream 2
3. Kindergarten Cop
4. Flatliners
5. Basic Instinct
6. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
7. Mrs. Doubtfire
8. The Doom Generation
9. Serial Mom
10. Party Girl
11. Chasing Amy
12. Dogma
13. Candyman
14. Ride with the Devil
15. Forrest Gump
16. Fight Club
17. American Beauty
18. Jackie Brown
19. Titanic
20. Good Will Hunting
21. Contact
22. Awakenings
23. Terminator 2: Judgment Day
24. The Ice Storm
25. A Very Brady Sequel

OK, a couple of these things I'm sorta not proud of, but it's not what any "ordinary" person would think. A couple of these would probably be replaced today with something else -- Awakenings, The Ice Storm, Ride with the Devil. And I'd put some of these higher, others lower.

I'ma let you finish but Schindler's list is the best film
