"(...) These one hundred works represent shifting social and political tides, contrastive works (meant to offset some of the safer mainstream films being released during this time), and obsessions with colour (you’ll eventually come across a string of “red” related films; it was unintentional, I swear!). The ‘90s was an interesting time: it feels like the first real moment (working in reverse order, of course) where past masters and then-prodigies clashes together, creating the insanely difficult task of limiting this list to just one hundred titles. I cut a plethora of favourites; some may be yours, and many were definitely mine. I also understand that this decade is meaningful to many of you, as I start to dig deeply into the childhoods and fond memories of our readers (which will only continue for a while, the further back we go). I hope you understand that going forward. For us, as challenging as this was, it only means that I am even more confident in the selected works that made the cut. Here are the best one hundred films of the 1990’s." (Andreas Babiolakis)
