My Top 10 Favorite Movies From 1990-1999

10. Twelve Monkeys

I'm actually not a Terry Gilliam fan, but I really enjoyed "Twelve Monkeys" The dark tone and humor of the movie is really great. The only thing that put me a little off, was the terrible performance by Brad Pit. Other than that this is one of my favorite time travel movies



9. Groundhog Day

One of my favorite comedies, it's really fantastic. Bill Murray at the top of his game, playing a sarcastic jerk. A fantastic character who has to live the same day over and over again.

















8. Brain Dead/Dead Alive

The most absurd and hilarious movie EVER! Great horror movie, fantastic comedy. One of the goriest movies I have seen. The soundtrack is one of the greatest things about the movie, it's so inappropriate and very funny. It's really great, and I wish Peter Jackson still made horror movies.













7. American Beauty

My favorite Kevin Spacey performance. and a very interesting movie about a man going through midlife crisis. Kevin Spacey's portray of this character is the best part of the movie, and is the main reason of why I love this movie so much.
















6. South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut


My favorite musical, all of the song are really funny and clever. The movie contains the best parts of the series put into one masterpiece.



5. Ed Wood

The greatest movie about making movies. The movie is about the filmmaker Ed Wood and how he made all of his horrible movies. It is a very sad and moving movie, because you feel sorry for this horrible movie director who only wants to make good movies. This is by far my favorite Tim Burton directed movie.















4. The Nightmare Before Christmas

Fantastic style and stop-motion. A great halloween movie and even a better christmas movie. Not all of the songs are that memorable, but they are all at least very catchy. This is a movie you could watch with your entire family.
















3. The Silence of the Lambs

A very disturbing movie with a lot of memorable performances. This is one of my favorite thriller movies, and Hannibal Lecter is one of the most iconic movie character of alltime.

















2. Eyes Wide Shut

The last Kubrick film, and one of my favorites. Just the tone of the movie is very thrilling and mysterious. A very interesting marriage and temptation study.

















1. Barton Fink

Almost nothing happens in this movie, but because of the characters and the dialog, the movie never gets boring. You get so compeled about what's actually going on, and why the director uses surtain angels in some shots, that you can't even look away from the screen for a second. This is truly a marvelous movie, and my favorite Coen movie.

My Top 10 Favorite Movies From 2000-2009

10. Up

Up is a fantastic and lovely movie, it has one of the best opening scenes of all time. Up is also one of my alltime favorite animation movies.














9. Batman Begins

It seemes like most of the Dark Knight-trilogy fans enjoy "The Dark Knight" the most, but i don't. I like "The Dark Knight", but i think it is a little overrated. I really love Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins, and I think it's a great character study. You really get to see all the different layers of the character, and the transformation he goes throught, which eventually turns him into Batman.












8. The Three Extremes

One of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. The movie consist of three short films, and all of them are horrifying in totally different ways. If you want to watch a scary movie with some great stories and scares, then watch "The Three Extremes".
















7. Cast Away on the Moon

A funny, tragic and sincere movie. This is a very easy and fun watch, and it is one of my favorite "feel-good" movies.


















6. The Darjeeling Limited

This is my favorite Wes Anderson movie, because it is mainly about the relationship between the main characters. The movie is about three brother traveling through India. The brothers are played by Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson and Adrien Brody. They all have great chemistry together, and the characters that they play are really great. This is clearly the funniest movie on this list, and one of my favorite comedies EVER!












5. Hunger

One of the most emotional movies I have ever seen, the lack of music and dialog only adds more drama to the tragic story. I don't have any words to describe the beauty in this movie, just give it a watch.

















4. Sympathy for Mr.Vengeance

My favorite of the vengeance trilogy. It's hard to write anything about this movie without spoiling it. The movie is full of suprises and twists, a trully thrilling and interesting watch. The movie is really great of showing many different outcomes of revenge. I think even better than the other two of the movies in the trilogy.














3. Mr. Nobody

Wow! How do I describe this movie??! Wierd I guess? It is a really poetic and interesting movie about an old man who tries to remember his life, and all of the choices he made. What's really great about this movie is that it really makes you think.
















2. Spirited Away

My favorite animated movie!



















1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy


Return of the King is the best of the trilogy if you ask me. It has the best aspects of the two first movies packed into one masterpiece. What's really great about LOTR movies, is the characters. You really feel for all the characters, and all of them are effected from all of the events in the movies. They are all very differnt people at the end of the journey, especially the Hobbits. At the start of the journey they are all a gang of easy going hobbits without any worries. At the end, they all seem a little damaged by all of the traumatic experiences that they have all been trough. The characters development is absolutely brilliant. This is one of many reasons to why a love the LOTR movies so much...
