This is an interesting category. I have seen quite a lot of these films (44) from the 1990s. I have enjoyed sharing these posts as it has surprised me to see how many films I have seen and I think it is fun for most people to add up their films. So here goes with the 'best' films of the 1990s.

(You always remember where you were when you saw a film - 1993 was the year I was on a huge overseas trip and I remember cars parked everywhere, on the road, park sideways, on the footpath of a cinema in Italy where this was premiering. If I could go back in time I think I'd go back to 1993)
