because ten or twenty years later is really when this sort of list should be made:
Top ten favorite movies of the Nineties:
10. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, 1990
9. Joe Versus the Volcano, 1990
8. Groundhog Day, 1993
7. Being John Malkovich, 1999
6. Magnolia, 1999
5. American Beauty, 1999
4. Fight Club, 1999
3. Dark City, 1998
2. "Billy's Balloon," 1998
1. Twelve Monkeys, 1995
Lots of angst on that list. I must have been a teenager in that decade. Well, here's my childhood:
Top ten favorite movies of the Eighties:
10. The NeverEnding Story, 1984
9. The Last Temptation of Christ, 1988
8. Tonari no Totoro, 1988
7. Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, 1982
6. The Empire Strikes Back, 1980
5. First Blood, 1982
4. The Great Muppet Caper, 1981/The Muppets Take Manhattan, 1984
3. The Dark Crystal, 1982/Labyrinth, 1986
2. Time Bandits, 1981
1. The Princess Bride, 1987
I guess that goes to show that the movies I love at the end of a decade will be the movies I always love from that decade. Kind of. There are a few notable exceptions (I'm looking at you, Dafoe-on-a-Stick).
It's past my bedtime now, and I've far exceeded my list-making quota for the time being. The Seventies will have to wait another ten years.
