• 10. Howards End (1992)
  This film is as wonderful to look at as it is wonderfully acted and directed. The art direction is some of the best I've ever seen, and Emma Thompson has never been better. Extremely witty and funny at times, but also displays the unfairness and cruelty of the distinction between social rankings. This is not a tedious PBS "American Playhouse" drama. This is a fine motion picture! I loved it as much as another Merchant-Ivory production of an E.M. Forster novel, "A Room With A View."
• 9. Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
  Fascinating "swan song" from masterful director Stanley Kubrick about a married man's odyssey into a sexual underworld. Intriguing, to say the least, this film is so twisted and mind-boggling, you can't help but be amazed by it. Of course, that was always Kubrick's intention.
• 8. Chasing Amy (1997)
  Arguably the best love story of the 1990s, and the most original and unusual one between a "straight" cartoonist(Ben Affleck) and a proclaimed "lesbian"(Joey Lauren Adams). Director Kevin Smith manages to keep this film completely unpredictable, and not just settle for a "Hollywood"-type outcome. The chemistry between the two leads hits you square on, and makes their love for each other so believable. I have never watched a love story that was as involving and absorbing as this gem.
• 7. Men Don't Leave (1990)
  A little-known film from very early 1990 about a mother(wonderfully played by Jessica Lange) who tries to keep her two sons together after their father is killed in a construction accident. A touching, moving drama with a good cast that includes Joan Cusack, Chris O'Donnell, and Arliss Howard.
• 6. American Beauty (1999)
  Wonderful satire about a dysfunctional family in the suburbs, and the even stranger people who live next door. Kevin Spacey is in top form, and Annette Bening, Wes Bentley, Thora Birch, and Chris Cooper round out a superb cast. Some truly outstanding interactive dialogue! Would you like some Smiley sauce with that?
• 5. Schindler's List (1993)
  One of the most devastating and emotional experiences I've ever had at the movies. Steven Spielberg's holocaust epic doesn't hold anything back, and leaves the audience speechless during the closing credits. Outstanding cinematography. Filming this mostly in black and white was a brilliant choice.
• 4. Fargo (1996)
  Wickedly funny black comedy by Joel and Ethan Coen about a kidnapping that doesn't go exactly as planned. Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, and Steve Buschemi are standouts. Ya darn tootin' they are!
• 3. JFK (1991)
  Powerful, absorbing drama about one man's obsession to uncover the truth behind the assasination of John F. Kennedy. A triumph for Oliver Stone, both in how masterfully the film was put together and for the stellar cast. Definitely some of the best editing I've ever seen!
• 2. Avalon (1990)
  Both funny and sad, this beautiful film from director Barry Levinson will make you appreciate the concept of "family." It also serves as a reminder of an America that was once great, but has completely vanished with the changing times. Joan Plowright, Armin Mueller-Stahl, and Aidan Quinn lead a strong ensemble cast.
• 1. Pulp Fiction (1994)
  The "cornerstone" film of the decade. This highly original masterpiece set the standard for other "quirky" films like "Fargo" and "2 Days in the Valley." A razor-sharp script and dynamite performances all around! Who cares if the film had no real meaning? I only wish there were more films like this.
Honorable Mentions: "Mr. Holland's Opus"(1995), "Sling Blade"(1996), "The Shawshank Redemption"(1994) "The Truman Show"(1998) "The Sweet Hereafter" (1997).
