First of all yes Sexy I did steal your idea! At times throughout the 90s countdown I actually found myself agreeing with Sexy (a scary prospect I tell you! ) about it not feeling particularly 90s on occasion, at least not how I remembered the 90s. Following Sexy's attempt at a list I decided to attempt my own just for a bit of a fun, purely a personal project. When I was done with it however I decided that I may as well post it here in case someone was perhaps interested in it. Might get a laugh from it or even get the odd recommendation.
Now this certainly isn't what I think are the best films of the 90s, or even my favourites; they're just films that I really liked/loved during the period. Many of them I've not seen in years so don't know what I'd think of them these days but they are ones I all have good memories of. To make the list easier to wittle down and also to make it more interesting to post I've discounted all films that made the official list, as well as sequels. I've also left out a bunch of great films which I've seen more recently, many of which I've reviewed if anyone is interested - Misery, Falling Down, Gattaca, Pump Up the Volume, Perfect World etc. I left them off as they don't really represent films I'd associate with watching in the 90s. As you'll see for me the decade was largely about big action flicks, animated films, kids/family films and dumb comedies. Wait a minute...that's what I still like two decades later!
Anyway on with my little bit of nonsense. If anyone wants to criticise the films I've gone with fair enough but it's just a bit of fun and really shouldn't be taken all that seriously.
PS - And I've just realised I made an error and it's actually ended up as 101 films
