1) Goodfellas (Martin Scorsese)
2) Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino)
3) The Silence of the Lambs (Jonathan Demme)
4) Fargo (Joel and Ethan Coen)
5) Eyes Wide Shut (Stanley Kubrick)
6) Chungking Express (Wong Kar-Wai)
7) Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson)
8) Boogie Nights (Paul Thomas Anderson)
9) Close-Up (Abbas Kiarostami)
10) The Thin Red Line (Terrence Malick)


I can get behind the top 3 in the 90s top 10 (not top 3 IMO) and am very glad Boogie Nights made the top 10. It's a classic filled with future box office stars.

But Schindler's List is on a lot of top 10 all time lists. Any 90s list without it is not a serious one. Shawshank too. The 90s were a very good movie decade.

Schindler's List is No. 13, that's high praise considering this isn't limited to domestic films. They probably didn't need to have two PTA movies in the top 10 though. This reminds me that I need to check out Close-Up (or any Kiarostami movie).

Another surprise to me is Jackie Brown being in the Top 30, but not Reservoir Dogs.
