I’m having a lot of fun reading these ’90s list of yours, but wow, you all nailed it by including He Got Game here. One of my favorite films of all time. Wish it was discussed far more. Thanks for including it.

In reply to Ben Corber. 'Saving Private Ryan' is pretty great. But 'The Thin Red Line' is a masterpiece.

“But what those spirited defenses tend to gloss over is the value of a dramatic setting or storyline, to give shape and purpose to his more diaphanous tendencies.”

Excellently put.

In reply to Ben Corber.

Thanks for explaining the experience you had. I’m not saying I agree with Malick over Spielberg, I’m just explaining why that is the case here – as I see it. As you can see from some rather small foreign films make the list rather than those better known films we would normally see.

In reply to Mountain Trails. I'm not here to get into a trolling fiasco. But I saw Saving Private Ryan with my grandfather who died the following year. He was a veteran, who served during the Normandy invasion. He was crying throughout the film, saying it was the most realistic film about WW2 he had ever seen. I'm not against Malick, but I feel that Saving Private Ryan is a much more historically/realistic film. And just because the name Spielberg is attached to a film, does not make it any lesser a film. See Schindler's List, Munich, and Lincoln. Just because a director made some of the biggest blockbusters of our time, does not mean he that he has not made art.

It’s cool to see The Apple make the main list. Few have seen that.

10 more to consider. A few were really critical favorites at the time.

The Flowers of Shangai [Hsiao-hsien]
Central Station [Salles]
Late August, Early September [Assayas]
Croupier [Hodges]
Autumn Tale [Rohmer]
Earth [Mehta]
Cabaret Balkan [Paskaljević]
Elizabeth [Kapur]
Lovers of the Arctic Circle [Médem]
The Inheritors [Ruzowitzky]

In reply to Ben Corber. It's not really a mainstream movie site. It peeled off of IndieWire. So Thin Red Line is directed by Terence Malick who has indie cred while Spielberg is probably a bit too mainstream to have the # 1 spot.

Eternity and a Day is a must on such a list. Also Solondz’s Happiness. I like He Got Game, but it could have been dropped.
