Best movies of the 1990s

Since my post on my favorite movies from the Aughties was pretty popular, I though I might also list my favorite movies from the 1990s, again judged by the standard of how much of an immediate, visceral impact they had on me:

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Goodfellas
3. Naked
4. The Matrix
5. There's Something About Mary
6. Short Cuts
7. American Beauty
8. Raise the Red Lantern
9. The Sweet Hereafter
10. Breaking the Waves
11. Husbands and Wives
12. Reservoir Dogs
13. Leaving Las Vegas
14. Fargo
15. Hoop Dreams
16. Delicatessen
17. Four Weddings and a Funeral
18. Ulysses’s Gaze
19. Strange Days
20. Thelma and Louise
21. The Thin Red Line
22. Before Sunrise
23. Groundhog Day
24. Terminator 2
25. Bad Lieutenant
26. Silence of the Lambs
27. The Crying Game
28. Wayne's World
29. Being John Malkovich
30. Menace II Society
31. The Grifters

Update: I added the four in italics, which I had forgotten about earlier. I should also point out the many movies that I saw and didn't much like, that many others would probably put in their own top list, e.g.: Sleepless in Seattle, Forrest Gump, Braveheart, Ghost, Edward Scissorhands. LA Confidential, Good Will Hunting, The English Patient, Enemy of the State, Men in Black, The Wedding Singer, Titanic, Philadelphia, JFK, Schindler's List, Wag the Dog, Blade, Ghost, A Few Good Men, Shakespeare in Love, The Phantom Menace, The Truman Show, Rush Hour, La Vita e Bella, Unforgiven, Boyz in the Hood, Pretty Woman, American Pie, Saving Private Ryan, Basic Instinct, 12 Monkeys, and Sense & Sensibility... to name a few. A lot of those were watchable, but most of them were either sententious, syrupy, simple-minded, or somehow flawed in a way that brought me up short in mid-viewing.
