TOP 100 FILMS OF THE 1990s

Daubed with sweat, tears, and more than a hint of blood, ICS has spent the past few months painting a many-colored mural of what we consider the filmic masterworks of the 1990s. Not only that, we’ve created a write-up for each film on the list, highlighting our own distinct view of these icons and oddities from a decade famed for both. Overall, 28 ICS members from 10 different countries contributed their work and their expertise. Some went in for scholarly analysis, others penned pithy short reviews, while a few came up with surprising personal takes on “what this movie means to me.” Expressed in varying shades of depth, passion, intellect, impressionism and playfulness, here are our choices and our rationale.

*SPOILERS*: So they’re at least 10-20 years old and not the kind of movies whose impact depends on a surprise ending… nonetheless, beware! If you’re new to some films and want to stay fresh, better skip those particular write-ups, as spoilers abound.
