Scorsese's list for best films of the 90s

[echo_bravo]

I came across this in one of Ebert's books and thought I would share it. Quite an interesting list...

1. Horse Theif
2. The Thin Red Line
3. A Borrowed Life
4. Eyes Wide Shut
5. Bad Lieutenant
6. Breaking the Waves
7. Bottle Rocket :D
8. Crash (Croenberg):eek: :confused:
9. Fargo
10. Malcolm X
10. Heat
tie for 10th place

I guess Horse Theif came out in 1986 but wasnt released in the States until the early 90s.

I remember listening to him and Ebert giving their Top 10 list of the 90's on the show all the time.

Crash sucks balls. come on Marty

glad to see he's a Bottle Rocket fan.

[Jon Lyrik]

Good to see him give love for The Thin Red Line.

[yorrick brown]

bottle rocket is on there.awesome.

[The Postmaster General]

I always thought he had Bottle Rocket at the top of his list, which I thought he said in the "NExt Scorsese" article in Esquire. No bother; it's an interesting list. The only one that I wouldn't have expected is Eyes Wide Shut, wchich I love, but just don't see that often on best of lists.

Are these his favorite American films, or just films in general of the 90's?

Pretty sure films in general of the 90s - Horse Thief is a foreign film.

[Lazy Boy]

Oh, shit...I'm glad to know that my local library actually HAS the Horse Thief -- it's a beat up crappy VHS copy, but it's a copy nonetheless. I was always curious about his heralding of it all those years ago, it just popped into my mind.

Interesting list but I still dont recognize Fargo as the Coen's best work

[Frank the Tank]

Very great list.

Marty has great taste. Heat and Bad Lieutenant are awesome.

I'm very suprised at the mention for Cronenberg's Crash. I still need to see it, but I guess this gives me more motivation

[Cronos]

meh

nice to see Eyes Wide Shut on there though

[Superplasmatron]

Crash is my favorite Cronenberg film ever. it gets a bad rap.

I've never seen a movie deal with addiction in a better way.

Reqieum for a dream gets the runner up prize though.

Breaking the waves is top notch as well.

Nice list.

[eljefe15]

I'd take Goodfellas over pretty much every movie on that list. :)

I agree...and I'm suprised Heat isn't higher on the list

Pretty good list, but no Boogie Nights?! For shame.

Espcially since some of it was influenced by Goodfellas.
