- 7. Schindler's List
Spielbergs masterpiece, the definitive holocaust picture.

A prison movie that is more about the people, rather than the system, with an uplifting ending.
Honourable mentions go to movies "The Mask of Zorro", "Braveheart", "There's Something About Mary", and countless other, though entertaining, are the "Best" movies of the decade.

Speilberg's world war two movie changed the way war movies will be made for the future. His characters is the movie are well made and show true individual traits that seem real. Something Speilberg usually lacks in his other films.

Taratino's remake of Stanley Kubrick's The Killing is his first feature film...and shows his style which made Pulp fiction a hit.

Pacino and De Niro meet for the first time in Michael Mann's epic of crime and drama.

- 6. 10 things I hate about you
Really good! Loved Heath Ledger in it and the whole story felt sorry for Bianca though
- 5. She's All That
Freddy Prinze Junior. He's so cute and the story is so good cause it gives unpopular girls the hope that we can have Mr Beautiful/Popular/Wonderful/Talented/Smart!
- 4. Waynes Word
This is one of the most funniest and stupid comedies I've ever seen in my life and it has the best sayings "Schwing" "party on Wayne" "Party on garth"

Hahaha what else can i say LIKE DAH or WHATEVER and SHE IS LIKE SO GROSS need i say more the number of times i've used those lines, this was the movie that created a teenage girls vocabulary

- 1. Forrest Gump
I laughed, I cried, this movie is the fabulous. Its a great journey through one mans life and a real eye opener, I loved it
By: AmyLou
- 10. Howard's End
The best British film of the nineties! It was so touching, and the acting was impeccable!
- 9. American History X
A movie that makes a statement and really sticks to it! Every adult should see this one. Hate is a tragic thing.
- 8. Fight Club
Whoever wrote this script has an amazing imagination! I just loved Helena Bonham Carter's character in this one! She was so dark and mysterious.
- 7. Pulp Fiction
I loved the way this movie utilized a mixed sequence of events. It gave the mind something to do while your eyes watched the movie.
- 6. Silence of the Lambs
Haunting! Anthony Hopkins nailed this one! His acting brought Hannibal Lecter to life. He seemed so real. I thought about this one for months after seeing it.
- 5. Seven
Simply the most inventive serial killer thriller ever! I walked out of the theater in disbelief! I never could have imagined such an intense story.
- 4. Forrest Gump
A fresh, new take on life. This one reminded me of how complicated we make life, when sometimes, the solutions are so obvious and simple.
- 3. Braveheart
I love the character, William Wallace. He is one of the most inspiring characters I have witnessed in film.
- 2. Sliding Doors
This movie clearly and creatively demonstrates the power of fate.
- 1. Great Expectations
This movie was simply beautiful. It is one of the few movies that stimulates the eye, mind and heart all at once.
By: J. Christian H�rnla
- 10. Richard III.
Forget about Romeo & Juliet (which is terrific, too)...if you haven't seen Ian Mc Kellen (yes, Gandalf) as a faschistoid tyrant in an alternate 1930s England, you haven't seen the best Shakespeare adaption of the 90s. Ok, it is not romantic, but it is impressive and...yes, funny.
- 9. Sixth Sense
Ok, there has to be one movie in this list with my favourite actor (though he is not actually that good). Bruce has never been in a better movie, and I just hope that M. Night Shmalayan (hope I typed that right) keeps writing movies like that.
- 8. Seven
A dark masterpiece by David Fincher. Incredible ending, totally unhollywoodlike.
- 7. Ed Wood
Doesn't everybody want to be a genius like him? Anyways, Tim Burton is probably one, and so is Johnny Depp.
- 6. Fight Club
Shows just what it is to be a man these days... I was never so close to wanting to fight someone. Probably the most dangerous film of the 90s, but definitely one of the best- you have to stay until the end (also to see that Brad Pitt is after all an actor...).
- 5. American Beauty
The most beautiful thing I have ever seen... Makes you value your life on Earth more and should be seen at least once a year to keep you balanced. Lester Burnham died for us all!
- 4. The Shawshank Redemption
I hate prison movies. The more it means that I put this one in this list. A wonderful piece of celluloid.
- 3. Schindler's List
Probably the most moving movie of the 90s. Far superior to the so-called anti-war movie Saving Private Ryan.
- 2. Pulp Fiction
It is simply great. Is there a movie in the world which could be cooler? I seriously doubt it.
- 1. Run Lola Run
In short, a masterpiece which should have blown fresh wind into my home country's movie industry. Unfortunately, it didn't.
There are some movies I should mention which might have made it into a Top 20-list: #11 Forrest Gump, #12 Truman Show, #13 Gattaca, #14 Pleasantville, #15 Leon- the Profesional, #16 Nightwatsch (I MEAN THE DANISH ORIGINAL !), #17 Grosse Point Blank, #18 Titanic, #19 La Vita E Bella (Life is beautiful), #20 Shakespeare in Love
