Nice list! I think Dumb and Dumber need to be bumped up as well as, A Few Good Men... other than that your top 5 is solid in my book :-)

some are not too great, I think maybe 25 great movies were made in the 1990's The bar is pretty low for most of those. Great movies are 1 in 200, 10 years means theere were ten made each year, sorry to tell you sometimes a year or two passes before a great movie is made. Check out GreedQuest

Good top five, except why is Schindler's list down at 33?

MJ  says:

Saving Private Ryan is not on this list. THE GREATEST WORLD WAR 2 MOVIE IS NOT ON THIS. SCHINDLER'S LIST NEEDS TO BE MOVED UP!!

Indeed. Agree about top 5 and Saving Private Ryan. How did Ghost get above Swingers which doesn't seem to feature at all. Four Weddings?
