By: Nick
• 10. GoodFellas
  Best gangster film in the post-Godfather era
• 9. The Matrix
  Intense and thought provoking
• 8. Glengary Glen Ross
  Al Pacino+Jack Lemmon+Ed Harris+Kevin Spacey=Intense
• 7. Clerks
  One of the most important indie films ever, established Kevin Smith as one of the best new comedy writers
• 6. Titus
  The standard for non-classical Shakespeare movies. It kept the dialogue true, but experimented with sets, props, and costumes. One of Anthony Hopkins' most underrated performances
• 5. Reservoir Dogs
  Badass
• 4. Hard Boiled
  The ultimate action movie: guns, guns, Chow Yun Fat, John Woo, guns and guns. I'd like to see any director aside from Woo top the 20min gunfight in the hospital
• 3. Fight Club
  A movie with a message: Be Yourself
• 2. Episode I: The Phantom Menace
  Sure, it wasn't as great as the classic trilogy but it signaled the return of an epic saga
• 1. Pulp Fiction
  It made Tarantino a household name, reinvented cool, redefined Travolta, and made Samuel L. Jackson the badest mother ****er on the planet
Honerable Mention: "Snatch", "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels","Se7en", "Unforgiven", "Silence of the Lambs"

• 10. Memento
  Very clever way of telling the story, and what a story it is!
• 9. Forest Gump/ Saving Private Ryan
  Cant decide between the two and memento has to be on there so let me just say they are both equally powerful and awe-inspiring in different ways. Just wow!
• 8. Usual Suspects
  Fantastic story with great twists, once again a great performance by spacey and the others.
• 7. Clerks
  hahahahahahahahaha!!!!! The funniest movie i have ever seen, and will most likely ever see.
• 6. The Matrix
  I love the cool effects and great story. Keanu gives a surprisingly good perfomace, and its just a great movie.
• 5. Se7en
  How disturbing was this one? But I like disturbing and movies that make you think if u havent figured that out :) great performance by Pitt
• 4. Shawshank Redemption
  Great story; deep and inspirational.
• 3. Braveheart
  Just a great movie, tells a great tale. Great acting/directing by Gibson, and what cool battle scenes!
• 2. American Beauty
  Wow what a great performance by Spacey! Great depth and, yet again, this one makes you think about your life. Fantastic.
• 1. Fight Club
  Its analasis of america's materialistic society and the effect on the common man is fantasic. A must see, really makes you think about your life and the crap you buy.
there are quite a few more that should be on there that there just isnt room for.... LA Confidential, Pulp Fiction, Payback , Schindler's list, they should probably take the places of memento and usual suspects but i love the clever telling of the stories and i believe they do more with less, but hey its just my opinion :)

• 10. Running out of Time
  This is a Hong Kong movie. If you like the above movies, you'll like this one.
• 9. Boiler Room
  Vin Diesel's best role yet.
• 8. Primal Fear
  See Edward Norton from Movie #2
• 7. Seven
  Screen play is flawless. See Kevin Spacey from Movie #6.
• 6. The Usual Suspect
  Kevin Spacey is the ultimate unexpected everyday-Joe antagonist.
• 5. Silence of the Lambs
  Anthony Hopkins is the freakiest face I've ever seen.
• 4. Pulp Fiction
  Need I say more?
• 3. Boondock Saints
  The best movie no one has ever heard of.
• 2. Fight Club
  Edward Norton is the best actor of our generation. Brad Pitt is the best psycho actor of our generation
• 1. Leon: The Professional
  Jean Reno - the ultimate hitman. Natalie Portman - the hottest 12 year old I've ever seen.
In case you are wondering, I do like comedies, but they lack the real power to move you. This is my dark-side top ten movies.

• 10. Raise the Red Lantern
  A great Chinese movie that will open your eyes to an extremely different culture and way of life.
• 9. Mallrats
  Kevin Smith is a comic genius
• 8. Hilary and Jacke
  The true story of the musically talented du Pre sisters and their complicated lives. Classical music fans will love it for the soundtrack alone.
• 7. Bottle Rocket
  Director Wes Anderson's first clasic. A comedy with a simple plot but has much more to offer. A perfect and beautiful film.
• 6. Suburbia
  A deep comedy about teenages coming into adulthood and dealing with success or the lack thereof. A group of suburbanites trying to figure a out where there life is going to go.
• 5. Fight Club
  Dazzling images and intense action set this film apart. The plot twists and turns and bring your mind along for the ride.
• 4. Puddle Cruiser
  The best college movie out there.
• 3. Rushmore
  Another masterpiece by director Wes Anderson.
• 2. Welcome To The Dollhouse
  The most realistic portrayal of the cruelty of middle school. This film is a dark dark dark comedy by genius director Todd Solondz. Heather Matarazzo captures every aspect of misfit Dawn Weiner perfectly. Great acting. If you like this one try the movie Happiness also by Todd Solondz
• 1. Leon: The Professional
  A powerful deep and disturbing action-packed movie of a professional hitman. Gave Natalie Portman her start in acting career. The Directors Cut DVD is a must see.
Some other great movies of the 1990s: Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, American Beauty, Clerks, Shine, The Piano, Breaking the Waves, Fargo...

• 10. Ciderhouse Rules
  Great film. I reckon its one of the most influencial movies ever.
• 9. Stigmata
  now this film changed my life. Im a catholic, and I always had faith in god, but Stigmata made me a devoted catholic. I go to church every week now he he
• 8. Oceans Ten
  Its entertaining, and I had a great time watching it. Its prolly the only Geroge Clooney movie thats worth watching. But Brad as usual stole the spotlight.
• 7. The Score
  Well, wadda u know. Its Ed Norton again. I guess this list leaves very little doubt about who my fav actor is. but I like teh fact that the director cuts the bull and let the pros do their acting. I think ed lookd great in those square rimmed shades. I bet Oakley Square wire will fit his face like a condom.
• 6. Pulp Fiction
  This movie was wicked. Nothing like I've ever seen, and I must say it will be a timeless classic
• 5. A River runs through it
  Boy wasnt this drama or what. I saw the movie in B&W, and really really got the best outta it. I thought Brads life in the story was beautiful, and it shows some fantastic scenes from Montana
• 4. People Vs Larry Flynt
  Ed Norton was as usual doing his very best, and Courtney Love was outta the world. Woody HArreldson was insane and totally wicked! I loved this film. The moment when he breaks the bathroom door to see her drowned in the tub was one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen
• 3. The Insider
  Who would have ever believed that the Rompre Stomper guy and Bud White can play a ratehr paranoid middle aged tobacco scientist to perfection. I loved the shear display of professionalism with the characters in this film.
• 2. American History X
  This movie made a permenant dent on my head. Speak of intensity. I love the way Ed Norton can generate so much intensity with his words. This movie is fabulous
• 1. Fight Club
  More than the fighting, its the cultural violence, Tylers vision of the world, and his doctrines that makes this movie so disturbing. "advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy sh** we dont need" Edward norton really showed the world why hes such a versatile performer.This movie is yet to find its time. Give it 20 years, and it will achieve the cult status that Blade Runner achieved. Read the book please, I've read all ov Chuck Palahniuks novels.
American Beauty, K-Pax, Usual Suspects, Schindlers List, Courage Under Fire, Face Off, One Flew Over the Cukoos nest, Seven, Rocky-V,Omen, Ransom
