Rank Your 10 Favorite films from 1990 [DECADE PROJECT]

[GOAT]

Al right so I started the 89 thread on Sunday and then CZAR has done two threads similar since (cheap plug for you). I am now going to cover 1990-1999 over the next month or so (hopefully).

Here is how this will work you may pick anywhere from 5-10 films that were your favorites from that year (please go by the Domestic US Releases). Please rank AT LEAST the TOP FIVE IN ORDER. How you place the film will affect how it ranks at the end of the week (each thread will stay “active” for one week and then votes will be tallied.

1st place – 10 points
2nd place – 8 points
3rd place – 6 points
4th place – 4 points
5th place – 2 points
the other 5 films – 1 point

Once we have completed 1990-1999 we will have a bigger poll/thread… so let’s get at it!!

same here... I see there is already diversity after just 2 of us as well which is great.. I have seen all of those except Predator 2 and enjoyed most of them.

1990 looks like it had more sequels than 07 did with its threequals!

Honestly, I didn't mind Predator 2...not great but still mindlessly enjoyable in parts.

The hardest part for me was weighing the good films I think are great now vs. the nostalgia factor. I was a kid in 1990 and that was bout the time I started watching movies so many films from that year hold a special place to me. For instance, I had The Duck Tales Movie and whichever Ernest movie came out that year (Ernest Goes to Jail I believe) in my list for a bit because my brother and I would watch those all the time.

EDIT: And Dick Tracy was up there. My mom made me an awesome home made Dick Tracy outfit for Halloween one year so that has a lot of nostalgia.

Too much cheese in 1990. I had to fit 6,8,9 and 10 in on my list and still couldn't find room for Hard To Kill and Men At Work.
