LITTLE WOMEN is my pick for best movie of 1994. And I have seen no one else say that.

In reply to Oufaze Fuzzy Kantor.

1994 is incredible. Surprised they didn’t prop it up more in the intro.
Pom Poko is such an underrated Ghibli work. It definitely warranted consideration here but I suppose this list was deliberately designed to make us all watch Suture.
The only thing missing from your list (and Playlist) is Crooklyn. That’s easily in my top five of director’s youth memoir send-ups.

In reply to osaro runner. I'll take Heavenly Creatures over Shawshank but they're both wonderful films. The creativity in Heavenly and unsettling nature will always make it a critic's favorite. HC turns the coming-of-age narrative on its head and plays Spin the Bottle.

In reply to Jess. I didn't know either till I looked it up. But it's always tricky when considering premiere date vs. release date. Most critic's year-end lists tend to reflect release date.

i really thought The Shawshank Redemption would be at number 1 it has aged well over time and found a place in people hearts it just gets better and better as the years pass by to exclude that from your list is just insane i don’t think i will be reading your best films of the nineties list again after this one a lot of the movies mentioned on this list are great but Shawshank can easily go up against any of them. Absurd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In reply to Mountain Trails. My mistake on Suture, had no idea it played in 1993. I can only abjectly apologize.

Sátántangó still has the ability to send them out of the theatre – and not just because it’s 7 hours. I watched it in a theatre and they offered a meal break.

Ten more to consider [some may have been released theatrically in 1995]:

Wild Reeds [Téchiné]
Through the Olive Trees [Kiarostami]
The Silences of the Palace [Tlatli]
Vive L’Amour [Ming-Liang]
An Unforgettable Summer [Pintile]
Barcelona [Stillman]
I Can’t Sleep [Denis]
JLG/JLG [Godard]
Nobody’s Fool [Benton]
Faust [Švankmajer]

In reply to Kevin Jagernauth. Right, except Suture premiered in 1993 but was released in 1994. Crump premiered in 1994 but was released in 1995.

In reply to Jordan Ruimy. We're going by premiere date, which for "Crumb," was 1994.

By: Jordan Ruimy

Jordan Ruimy — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 18:22:00 +0000

Shouldn’t Crumb count as 1995?
