In honor of the absu...OK, here's what I'm gonna do. In honor of the absurd addition of "Titanic" to this list, I decided to rattle off a handful of films just from the '90s alone that were more deserving. (There are hundreds, but I'm just limiting it to the best.) This is just off the top of my head...no looking on IMDb or anything like that. Hey, after that, maybe we could even go backward decade-by-decade, all the way to the beginning of the century.<BR/><BR/>Even, dare I say, the '20s. (Yes that's right, American Film Institute: There WERE movies before the 1930s. No, seriously!)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the '90s:<BR/><BR/>Magnolia, Fargo, JFK, Leaving Las Vegas, The Crying Game (if it's eligible), The Truman Show, Boogie Nights, Hoop Dreams (are docs not eligible?), The Insider, Bullets Over Broadway (only ONE Woody Allen movie?), Three Kings, Malcolm X, Fight Club (yeah, that's right Jer), Barton Fink, Short Cuts, The Player, Jackie Brown, The Age of Innocence, Sweet and Lowdown, Deconstructing Harry, Being John Malkovich...and hundreds of others. <BR/><BR/>On the bright side, at least Titanic made 900 trillion dollars.<BR/><BR/>1980s, anyone? I'll start with "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "Brazil" and "The Right Stuff." Dammit.<BR/><BR/>But take heart, Jeremy - at least "Crash" didn't make it (it was on the list of finalists).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
