The 50 Best Films of the 1990s

The AV Club has compiled a list of the 50 best films of the 1990s. Here's part one, part two, and part three. (via Kottke)

They include a nice description of each but there isn't just a list of all 50 titles on one page. So here they are. I've seen all but the ten marked with an asterisk.

50. Dead Man (1995)*
49. American Movie (1999)
48. Ed Wood (1994)
47. Starship Troopers (1997)
46. Heavenly Creatures (1994)
45. The Limey (1999)
44. Metropolitan (1990)*
43. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
42. All About My Mother (1999)*
41. Raise The Red Lantern (1991)
40. Trainspotting (1996)
39. The Blair Witch Project (1999)
38. Fast, Cheap & Out Of Control (1997)
37. Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
36. L.A. Confidential (1997)
35. Naked (1993)*
34. Seven (1995)
33. The Matrix (1999)
32. Close-Up (1990)*
31. Paradise Lost: The Child Murders At Robin Hood Hills (1996)
30. The Thin Red Line (1998)
29. Irma Vep (1996)*
28. Election (1999)
27. Short Cuts (1993)
26. Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
25. Fight Club (1999)
24. Crumb (1994)
23. Carlito’s Way (1993)
22. The Sweet Hereafter (1997)*
21. Fargo (1995)
20. Red (1994)*
19. Exotica (1994)
18. Schindler’s List (1993)
17. Safe (1995)*
16. The Big Lebowski (1998)
15. Groundhog Day (1993)
14. Hoop Dreams (1994)
13. Boogie Nights (1997)
12. Miller’s Crossing (1990)
11. Barton Fink (1991)
10. Being John Malkovich (1999)
9. Rushmore (1998)
8. Unforgiven (1992)
7. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
6. Out Of Sight (1998)
5. Chungking Express (1994)*
4. Dazed And Confused (1993)
3. Toy Story 2 (1999)
2. Pulp Fiction (1994)
1. Goodfellas (1990)

The Matrix and Terminator 2 would be higher on my list, and Blair Witch wouldn't be on it all (among others). I haven't thought about films they didn't include that should be on it.

Blair Witch is the only movie I've ever walked out of. Just awful.
