The Remains of the Day! I was thinking that it was either in the 40s or missed. Glad to see the former.

La Ceremonie is so good the book it's based on is a masterpiece and it's still better than the book.
Festen - gulp, maybe my biggest blind spot of 90s. Gotta get to it.

The Remains of the Day - #9 on my ballot
Short Cuts - #20 on my ballot
I wasn't sure if Short Cuts would make it, after The Player missed. I had the impression they were considered even.

#41Beauty and the Beast ( Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, 1991)  urbanpatrician says: A very tragic romance against a Gothic ancient castle time backdrop. There is something about the 90s Disney films, as it feels like The Lion King and The Beauty and the Beast are what people usually single out. I see random mentions of Disney films not counting Pixar before the 90s, but they don't regularly make people's all time favorites lists.126 points. 12 ballots.

My #17!  I just rewatched this a few months past. Just the right amount of darkness to give the whole thing weight. The editing should get more attention too: musical numbers like "Belle" and "Be Our Guest" pop off the screen because of it. |

Disney's absolute peak. That BP nomination is such a beautifully deserved legacy to have.

Eh, Blue. It's so gloomy. Lighten up a little, the tragedy doesn't come off as real when it's this overbearing.

#39Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (David Lynch, 1992)
 urbanpatrician says: Nice little wet dream. Some moments where my brain was like "ok... puzzle over, zoning out" but it's still mostly entertaining, I'll ride along with this story of a devilishly lurking evil featuring a virgin mary undergoing her severe loss of innocence.131 points. 9 ballots.

#38American Beauty (Sam Mendes, 1999)
 urbanpatrician says: Last rewatch 6 months ago really sunk it. It's a shell of the film I remember in 1999. Like it doesn't even feel like I saw the same film that I liked in my teens anymore. That said, it's still top of the barrel compared to other BP winners after Amadeus.... because, they kinda mostly suck.

#36Raise the Red Lantern (Zhang Yimou, 1991)
 urbanpatrician says: A definite classic, but Zhang tends to be be singled out for two films.... Raise the Red Lantern and Hero. I think To Live is on par, actually better than those 2.

#34Titanic (James Cameron, 1997)

36: Zhang Yimou is god of the 90s, and this is his peak. Glorious stuff.
35: His best film.
34: Peak blockbuster filmmaking. Watching all of the imitators try to recapture the formula for 20 years has been hilarious, and makes me appreciate it all the more.
