We love everything pop culture from music to television to movies and so on. We find the best in art for a year by combining hundreds of statistics as well as general, critic, and industry member voting.
Most part of these movies are american as usual.Just a little list of european ones..Don t waste your time making tops 100,prefer watching french or italian movies for example (and some are really better than certains of this US list),to create you a real cinema culture!
Mad Max fucking stinks!!! holy shits... they escape and they return all the while making dumb choices along the way without any character development, no arc, and no clear objective other than 'go this way, now this way'.... end.... SUCKS
Lost in translation is not a top 10 movie... I agree with most of your pics... Revise and Replace... Bill Murray is one of my favorite actors and comedians...
I'm a big fan of the Apatow movies, Knocked up, 40yr old virgin, Superbad but The Prestige and WALL-E are way better movies than those romantic comedies
Where’s Silent Running? Vanishing Point? The Jerk? Outlaw of Josey Wales? Poseidon Adventure? American Graffiti? Up in Smoke? 1941? Meatballs? Foul Play?

Not sure why no one listed The Crow? Not only has it achieved Cult status but the soundtrack is absolutely amazing. Everyone has their own taste but it’s one in my opinion that was a big part of the early to mid 90’s. R.I.P. Brandon Lee.❤
Fantastic list. My list of 90’s favorites in no particular order. Point Break, Last Boy Scout, Stone Cold, American History X, Clerks, Chasing Amy, Blade, The Crow, Independence Day, Seven, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Beyond the Mat, Menace 2 Society, American Pimp, Grosse Pointe Blank, American Beauty, Can’t Hardly Wait, American Pie, Tombstone, Carlito’s Way, Boogie Nights, Bronx Tale, Friday, Terminator 2, Desperate Hours, Best of the Best 2 and last but not least…FORD FAIRLANE!!!
Childrens cartoons and anime (which btw, in the 90s ONLY severe nerds with an overwhelming Asian fetish watched this gross combination of childrens art and hyper sexuality and ultraviolence. Today that’s an “attack” on a sacred worldview- then, we were less deceived by technology and saw it for what it was. A cringe crossover of Saturday morning cartoons and porn. No f that. I still think it’s STUPID AF to watch cartoon movies as a thing. Wtf is wrong with you? Arrested development? Of course a movie can be made with cartoons (call it something else if you want the truth is they are freaking cartoons no debate) OF COURSE!!! That could be AMAZING!!! My issue is that of it being an entire genre. MAKE NEW IDEAS FFS
Many say Art and therefore Cinema is entirely subjective… I’m a film composer and I disagree. The 90s was the best decade yet for movies for many excellent reasons but for one factual objective reason the 90s stand at the top: THEY MADE NEW TROPES. Now, 35 years later, 5 generations of technology later- we 100% ONLY make movies which are tropes we have seen 1,001 times and are bored of, so they use big fx and thundering “braaaaaaam”s and hope no one will notice this is just a specific movie from the 90s with new actors and cosmetic changes to the script (like using not aliens but AI - wow we should clap ourselves on the back!). It’s like that 90s movie you may not have mentioned “the seventh seal” or something where the “Guf” where human souls come from is now empty and there can only be demons. The “Guf”, the birthplace of new ideas is empty. Nope. Just as always the bad thing is due to greed. Studios are squeezing blood from all the tropes CREATED in the 90s without producing new ones because IT IS CHEAPER. But, dear Americans, you should have learned this. Please pay attention to the reality you exist in ffs. Anyways I’m saying it will grow from a point of diminishing returns to a point of negative returns. This is called a “bubble” “popping” by economists who know the truth but don’t care. Truth is all involved 100% know the venture they have sunk other peoples money into is going to bubble and pop using Bayesian financial analysis (I’m also a data analyst). So what is happening is they know it will pop, the game is to fleece you of maximum income before the period where diminishing returns will be visible without Bayesian “future telling”. Then they cut ties. ITS DAY TRADING USING FILMS! They understand it’s crap but know they can push the crap by X amount before anyone will complain and by then they will have 500 million. And repeat. The consequences for society and civilization are the death of art, of our connections to meaning in our lives and toward a purely objective materialist worldview which “just happens” to mean the only happiness comes from giving the rich more money by hoarding objects. It doesn’t work. I’ve been a millionaire twice- the two lowest points in my life. We are being misled. Myths are a requirement for a society, it’s how we understand ourselves. How we teach common ethics and decency and what matters most. But without new myths and the only thing a twisted deformed cardboard stand-in myth. That’s the new cinema. Flat cardboard products.

The 80s were the backlash to the 70s realism hence most of the best 80s films were horror, sci fi and comedy. It's harder for me to make a Top 100 movies of the 80s than the 70s.

GOAT decade for movies if we’re being honest (the whole New Hollywood era really), especially if we’re talking about Hollywood. Also the best combination between popularity and quality. All the inspiration from previous decades in film history, how society was at that point, so on… led to that culmination of non-stop terrific movies. That was the peak of it all. Furthermore, you have amazing stuff from all kinds of genres and such… the diversity aligned with the value is also crazy to think of.
