Again, this may have been previously posted but here goes:

Fargo
The Grifters
Goodfellas
Heat
Short Cuts
Rushmore
All About My Mother
Silence of the Lambs

This is mostly off the top of my head and in no particular order. Again, it’s my personal taste and I’m sure I’ve missed quite a few films.

1. The Thin Red Line
2. Three Colours Blue
3. Eyes Wide Shut
4. Unforgiven
5. Heat
6. The Blair Witch Project
7. Casino
8. Fargo
9. Boogie Nights
10. Naked.

JFK and Boogie Nights are good additions and are favorites of mine. I do enjoy Pulp Fiction but Jackie Brown and Kill Bill are films I enjoy more. I forgot Blair Witch was a 90’s film and I am a little shocked by the rare number of quality horror films from the 90’s. I wonder why?

“Boogie Nights”
“Fargo”
“The Last of the Mohicans”
“Eyes Wide Shut”
“GoodFellas”
