Alphabetical order out of my IMBd vote history, skipping a few that haven't stood the test of time, or are just too obscure:

Big Night
Dead Man
Delicatessen
Fargo
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Office Space
Rushmore
Shawshank Redemption (one more time for good measure)
The Ice Storm
The Player
The Straight Story

Office Space
Saving Private Ryan
Toy Story 1 and 2
Forrest Gump
Schindler's list
Happy Gilmore
Rush Hour
Dumb and Dumber
Jurassic Park
A Few Good Men
Mission:Impossible
Batman Forever I know, for some reason I don't think it's as bad as everyone says. Batman and Robin is a whole different story

I'm sure I'm missing quite a few

Goodfellas
Pulp Fiction
Casino
Dazed & Confused
Lebowski
Shaving Ryan's Privates

I can't come up with 10. There were a lot of good movies in that decade. I recently saw Boogie Nights again and I don't know, it just doesn't seem to hold up. Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas will hold up forever.

^^^^Oh totally disagree about Boogie Nights. I can't believe I forgot to put that on my list. That movie had such a great style. Awesome soundtrack and who will ever forget William H Macy.

"What's bothering me?? My wife is there and she's got an ass in her !(insert word for rooster here)"

not the proper words, but all that matters is those final four words.

I really liked Magnolia as well. I forgot about that one. Too bad Tom Cruise is such a weiner, because he's a good actor if he's in a good movie.

I just looked up that weird kid who was in that movie. His name is Jeremy Blackman. He goes to Columbia University now and hasn't done much acting since that flick.

The way they pulled off all those crazy stories. It was like more than one movie.

I've been trying to follow this. Seriously, no one has listed Unforgiven? Amazing movie. If someone has, my bad, must have missed it.

1) Predator- pre 90's? to f***ing bad..best sci-fi ever!
2) Terminator 2...best sequel ever made..period
3) Pulp Fiction...simply crazy
4) Jurassic Park..IMO this one movie raised the bar for special effects in movies.
5) Goodfellas...wow was that fun
6) Shawshank redemption..best acting EVER
7) Reservoir Dogs - again,pre 90's? tough sh**. it was fun.
8) Braveheart...epic, even know it was far from the truth.
9) Schindler's List...so true it's sad.
10) Dumb and Dumber...laughed my ass off
10b) Titanic, yeah it was sappy but it was still well done.

I could probably come up with newer and older titles but this is close to my all time favs ever made.

Going back I would put these films as my all times as well.

Godfather
One flew over the ####oo's nest
Star Wars
Aliens...1 &2
Raiders 1&2..hell, all of them really
Matrix
Forrest Gump
Silence of the Lambs
Good the Bad the Ugly
The Shining
Reservoir Dogs
The Green Mile

All my brain can think of right now.
