Ten Favorite Movies of the 1990s

(After reading another of Jordan Ruimy’s critics’ polls, I started thinking about what my favorite movies of the 1990s might be. Here, with profound subjectivity and in alphabetical order, is my list.)

  • Before the Rain (directed by Milcho Manchevski, 1994)

  • City of Hope (directed by John Sayles, 1991)

  • Dazed and Confused (directed by Richard Linklater, 1993)
