I agree with The Thin Red Line...it really caught on for me, unlike many others I know.

Has nobody said JFK? It's a favorite of mine...several memorable performances, great cinematography and just electric filmmaking in general, and it actually moved the US government to open its secret files on the subject to the public (has any other film done anything like that, ever?).

Schindler's List is probably the best, most important film of the decade...as allmovie says, being what it is, it just transcends any kind of critical scrutiny.

7. Glengarry Glen Ross (James Foley)
8. American Beauty (Sam Mendes)
9. Resevoir Dogs (Quentin Tarantino)
10. Lone Star (John Sayles)

Oddly, Kevin Spacey was in 4 of my top 10 films (#2,6,7, & 8).

Honorable Mentions: Goodfellas, Barton Fink, Red Rock West, Boogie Nights, Chasing Amy, Fargo


In my haste, I forgot to mention Steven Soderberg. Out Of Sight should enter the list at #4, and The Limey would probably be somewhere in the honorable mentions.

Training Day and Mystic River are both the 2000s, but, at least, you're close. Cool

Mark, are you upset that it's not a 90s film, or that it's being mentioned as one of the "Best" films of any decade? Big Grin
