The Best of the 1990s: 91 - 100

91) ELECTION
Director: Alexander Payne
The best 90s movie for 20-somethings looking back at their teenage years.

92) PRETTY WOMAN
Director: Frank Marshall
Chicks REALLY dig it. Do all women secretly want to be princesses rescued by handsome, super-rich suave-meisters. Okay, strike that from the record. Duh.

93) RUSHMORE
Director: Wes Anderson
I liked this movie while many others loved it. Almost all of the real arguments I've gotten into over film involve FIGHT CLUB, or Wes Anderson. I think they're both good, just adolescent.

94) AMERICAN HISTORY X
Director: Tony Kaye
Its message is about as subtle as a ton of bricks. Still a good flick.

95) THE FUGITIVE
Director: Andrew Davis
A rousing adventurous crime tale. I think that Harrison Ford guy might be movie star material. What do you think?

96) OUT OF SIGHT
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Nothing too special except everything is very well done. Alas this helped create the "J-Lo" phenomenon. Funny how every silver-lining has a cloud.

97) BOYS DON'T CRY
Director: Kimberly Pierce
I'm not sure if this is a great film or not, but it seems like it should be. It's certainly dramatic and all. And there's no doubt Hillary Swank is impressive.

98) WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE
Director: Todd Solontz
Intriguing and useful look at one unpopular little girl.

99) SLING BLADE
Director: Billy Bob Thornton
See Boys Don’t Cry.

100) HAPPINESS
Director: Todd Solontz
I didn't love this film, but I can admit its creativity.
