Glad to see Tremors make an appearance, one of my favorites. Love how your lists incorporate well known films as well as more obscure stuff. Your "everyman who went to film school" sort of taste reminds me a lot of the great James Rolfe.
Mine's probably like this 1.) Goodfellas // Scorsese 2.) Close-up // Kiarostami 3.) Paris is burning // Livingston 4.) Days of being wild // Wong kar-wai 5.) Miller's Crossing // Joel Coen 6.) Jacob's ladder // Lyne 7.) Wild at heart // Lynch 8.) The match factory girl // Kaurismäki 9.) Trust // Hartley 10.) Home Alone // Colombus
That was fast! “Goodfellas” would have to be my number one as well. But my close second is Linklater’s “Slacker.” I’d also have “Metropolitan,” “Life is Sweet,” and “Mermaids” (a girly film but I love it) on my list. You got a BIG one coming up. 1991 is, in my opinion, easily the greatest year in cinema. A ton of great stuff.
I almost forgot how great 1990 was. Thanks for the reminder! My Top 10: 10. The Freshman 9. Tremors 8. Die Hard 2 7. Back to the Future Part III 6. Edward Scissorhands 5. Goodfellas 4. Arachnophobia 3. Home Alone 2. Dick Tracy 1. Total Recall
Aside from seeing a double bill of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back with my dad, aged 5 (me, not him), back in 1980, Goodfellas remains one of the most memorable cinema experiences of my life. I was 15 then and went without my Dad (I can't remember what he was doing that night, but if i remember I will certainly let you all know).
My top five (as of now): 5. Back to the Future Part III 4. Home Alone 3. Tremors 2. Edward Scissorhands 1. Misery Still a lot to catch up on. On a side note, I just uploaded this video of my top favorite films of 1993---in honor of my 30th birthday the other day. th-cam.com/video/X5_T4GYAeEI/w-d-xo.html
I like what you're doing with the honorable mention/overview of the year segment. Goodfellas is, of course, number 1. Millers Crossing is probably my 2nd. I had never heard of your 2nd, An Angel At My Table. I don't think it got much attention in the U.S. I bet more people here have seen Troll 2.
My top 1990 movies: "Europa Europa" directed by Agnieszka Holland / The Memphis Belle / The Fourth war / The Night of the fox and Kojak: It's Always Something (tv movie).
My top Ten Totall recall Goodfellas Dancing with wolves Awakenings Hunt for red october The field Back to future 3 Miller's crossing Misery Jacob's ladder
Yes mate. What a year that was. Here's mine... 10. Darkman 09. Nightbreed 08. Total Recall 07. Dances with Wolves 06. Nikita 05. Hardware 04. Wild at Heart 03. Edward Scissorhands 02. Paris is Burning 01. Goodfellas I feel like I need to see Miller's Crossing again it has been a long long time.
1. Joe Vs the Volcano 2. Dick Tracy 3. Blue Steel 4. Internal Affairs 5. Reversal of Fortune 6. Wild at Heart 7. The Hunt for Red October 8. After Dark, My Sweet 9. King of New York 10. Home Alone
Wow, I usually mostly agree with your lists, but this one was glaringly different. I would normally put Goodfellas as no. 1 (Dreams would be no. 2) and Miller's Crossing would most likely be on there somewhere. I haven't seen An Angel at My Table and will soon, but I will definitely check out Close Up. I decided to take Goodfellas and Miller's Crossing out as there were a lot of good movies that year. So here' what I came up with... 1. Dreams (Akira Kurosawa) 2. Reversal of Fortune 3. Henry and June 4. Longtime Companion 5. Avalon 6. Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down 7. Ju Dou 8. After Dark, My Sweet 9. Life is Sweet 10. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer And honorable mentions that weren't mentioned in alphabetical order. 1. Alice 2. The Field 3. The Freshman 4. The Grifters 5. The Hot Spot 6. Jacob's Ladder 7. Miami Blues 8. Mo' Better Blues 9. Presumed Innocent 10. Quick Change 11. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead 12. The Sheltering Sky 13. Truly, Madly, Deeply 14. Trust (Hal Hartley) 15. White Hunter, Black Heart
So far: 1. Dances with Wolves 2. Close-up 3. Miller's Crossing 4. Home Alone 5. Cry-Baby 6. The Hunt for Red October 7. Edward Scissorhands 8. Ghost 9. Goodfellas 10. Avalon Honorable mentions: - Cyrano de Bergerac - Awakenings - Misery
1990 was another really great film year. Before i watch yours and hopefully get a few to check out, here are my top 10: 10 Arachnophobia 9 Robocop 2 8 Nuns On The Run 7 Tremors 6 Child's Play 2 5 Another 48 Hours 4 Quick Change 3 Die Hard 2: Die Harder 2 Ghost 1 The Excorcist 3
Ooooh! Ghost would probably make my list as well. The ending of the scene where he learns how to move physical objects is quite nice. The special effects aren’t the cool part there. It’s the lack of them as he slaps the sign on his way out. No Total recall though? Probably my favorite Arnold flick. A action movie that is kinda smart as well. Well what would the fun of life if we all thought alike?
My Top 10 1. Goodfellas 2. Ghost 3. Akira Kurasawas Dreams 4. House Party 5. King of New York 6. Edward Scissorhands 7. Dances With Wolves 8. Misery 9. Days of Thunder 10. Childs Play 2.
Good that Miller's Crossing got mentioned. I think that is probably the Coen brothers' best film. As for 1990, I would recommend The Grifters directed by Stephen Frears and starring John Cusack, Angelica Houston and Annette Benning - as well as being produced by Martin Scorsese.
My 10 for 1990 10. Slacker 9. Days of Being Wild 8. Green Card 7. Pump Up The Volume 6. Dances With Wolves 5. An Angel At My Table 4. Wild At Heart 3. Trust 2. Goodfellas NUMBER ONE: JU DOU
I know stephen king's It was a direct to television movie but it had a lot of talented actors and actresses including tim curry's role as pennywise the clown. Another film that is less talk about is Tales From The Darkside The Movie. Especially since some of the people who worked on the 1982 horror anthology creepshow. King again was involved with the segment called cat from hell.

I should have put Trust on there, but there were so many good films that year. Amateur is definitely on my 1994 list.
That was fast!

Yeah, I've already got a good top 20 for 1991 and I've still got 30 films to catch up on!
