AV Club's The 50 best films of the ’90s
Few talk about the ’90s as a filmmaking renaissance on par with the late ’60s and early ’70s, but for many of the film critics at The A.V. Club, it was the decade when we were coming of age as cinephiles and writers, and we remember it with considerable affection. Those ’70s warhorses like Martin Scorsese and Robert Altman posted some of the strongest work of their careers, and an exciting new generation of filmmakers—Quentin Tarantino, Joel and Ethan Coen, Wong Kar-Wai, Olivier Assayas, David Fincher, and Wes Anderson among them—were staking out territory of their own. Presented over three days—with two 20-film lists, then a separate one for the top 10—our Top 50 survey was conducted in an effort to reflect group consensus and individual passion, with the disclaimer that all such lists have a degree of arbitrariness that can’t be avoided. (On Thursday, we’ll run a supplemental list of orphans, also-rans, and personal favorites that will undoubtedly be quirkier.) One more note before digging in: Filmmakers who had a particularly good decade were often divided against themselves in the voting. Which Coen brothers movie is the strongest? Which color from Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colors trilogy shone the brightest? Peel slowly and see…

Thanks for doing this. It crossed my mind, but I figured someone more enterprising than myself would take the time. I'm at 70%, lots to add to my watchlist.
Great! I was waiting for something like this since I saw the list yesterday.
No Shawshank Redemption?
No Shawshank Redemption? [2]
I agree with ^^
It's the number 1 ranked film on imdb and it's not on this list? But Blair witch is?
No Saving Private Ryan, American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption.. Not a huge fan of this list.
just 76% )
Greatest film of the 90's not even on this list. The Silenece Of the Lambs.
Deliberate spelling mistake!!!
Thank god, no Shawshank Redemption. No Lost Highway or TP FWWM is upsetting, though Breaking the Waves, Funny Games, Double Life of Veronique or Fallen Angels/Ashes of Time also need to be on here over some of these. But some on here I need to check out - particularly the Soderbergh and Egoyan ones which I haven't tried.
No Jurassic Park?
I can only say it's good to see other's opinions, However; there are WAY too many really good films missing from this list. I think the word "Favorite" should replace the word "Best"!
Love seeing Naked and Chungking Express in any list
Silence of the Lambs missing from this list really stands out. Jurassic Park, while I disagree that it is missing, I can understand more than Silence of the Lambs not being included.
