Films of the '90s: 1993

The topic I made this morning was deleted, so please repost your list if you had posted it already because I have not seen a single list

You can post a list of anywhere between 5 and 20 films (or more, but only 20 will be counted) from the year we're covering. The deciding factor in terms of release dates is the RYM list and the top 10 of each year will go on to the final top 100 round. The deadline is December 5th.

The points scheme is as follows:
1. 50 points
2. 40
3. 35
4. 30
5. 25
6. 20
7. 18
8. 16
9. 14
10. 12
11. 10
10. 9
...
20. 1
However, these are the maximum amounts of points. If you want to put certain films on your list but don't want to give them too many points, you can choose to give these less points than in this scheme (but never more) to decrease the impact on the overall results. If you don't specifically state that you want to give (some of) your films fewer points, I will assume the standard scheme.

Here are some lists to remind you of the great (or awful) films released in 1993, from a variety of sources:

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

My big recommendations for this year are TC: Blue and Dazed and Confused. I'm surprised Short Cuts is doing so well. It surprises me how Altman can make these films with 30 characters without a single one who is likable, self-aware, or half-resembling a single person I've ever met.

I'm currently only waiting on Farewell My Concubine, Faraway So Close and Naked to vote. Though I'd like to see Puppetmaster if it were possible in region 1, and I'll probably wait for Petri's ballot for recommendations.

Are short cuts films eligible?

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

I don't really see why not, if films can do their thing in 30 minutes it shouldn't need to last 200. Wrong Trousers is probably going to be on my list as well.

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

If 25 hour films are eligible, so are 30 minute films.

If we did a 20's poll, I'd at least hope Un Chien Andalou would be.

Then what about 10 minute films? Or 5? or 1?

What's the line?

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

Its mostly fluff but its good fluff.

1 -Groundhog Day
2 -Dazed and Confused
3 -Red Rock West
4 -Jurassic Park
5 -The Fugitive
6 -Demolition Man
7 -Cliffhanger
8 -Hard Target
9 -Sidekicks
10 -Cronos

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

As long as they were released as a film and shown in (a) theater(s), even 1 minute films are eligible.

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

Quite a good year:
1. The Scent of the Green Papaya
2. 32 short films about Glenn Gould
3. The Piano
4. Groundhog Day
5. Farewell My Concubine
6. Naked
7. The wrong trousers
8. Short Cuts
9. Sonatine
10.The remains of the day
11.Trois Couleurs Bleu
12.Schindler's list
13.A Bronx Tale

15.The Wedding Banquet
16.M. Butterfly
17.Red Rock West
18.Falling Down
19.Trois Couleurs Blanc
20.This Boy's Life

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

Now I need to find some Brakhage stuff to watch.

I need a few rulings.

First: Are anime OVAs eligible? For instance, Rorouni Kenshin: Betrayal?

Second: What year should we consider On The Silver Globe? It was directed 1976-1977, then ordered destroyed, then reconstructed from film salvaged by the production crew, then showed at Cannes in 1988, then came out in 1989.

Because, if we consider it 1989, you can equally argue that Passion of Joan of Arc is 1981.

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

Rorouni Kenshin: Betrayal was released as a film, so it's eligible. Regarding The Silver Globe, I guess it's simplest to just stick to our original rule and follow the RYM release date, which is 1989. For The Passion it's 1928.

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

Three Colors: Blue
Dazed and Confused
Blue
Puppetmaster
Groundhog Day
The Wrong Trousers
In The Line Of Fire
Farewell My Concubine
The Age Of Innocence
The Sandlot (3 points)
Short Cuts (2 points)
Jurassic Park (2 points)
Faraway, So Close! (1 point)

I'd like to hear from some of the Short Cuts fans what they see in it. I see it as very holier than thou social commentary, and I see the characters as mostly midwestern stereotypes. (Or maybe 'Holier then them' is more accurate than 'Holier than thou'. Altman has a tendency of condescending his characters.)

Blue was a big surprise to me. It's amazing how good at film you can make with no visuals except a big blue screen in your face.

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

What an incredible year for cinéma !
I am extremely surprised that "The remains of the days" don't make a better position. It's for me one of the all-time best "english language" film.
Two comments for the French films "Germinal" and "Smoking/No smoking". You have here the two sides of French cinema. On one side, a huge fresco with a lot of money, an adaptation of the novel of Victor Hugo. I recommand this for those who go to the cinema just for the "show". On the other side "Smoking/No smoking" an incredible film but a lot more difficult to appreciate, almost theater, thoughts about life.

1. Trois couleurs : Bleu (Krzysztof Kieslowski)
2. The Remains of the Day (James Ivory)
3. Germinal (Claude Berri)
4. Schindler's List (Steven Spielberg)
5. Ma saison préférée (André Téchiné)
6. The Piano (Jane Campion)
7. Sonatine (Takeshi Kitano)
8. L'Odeur de la papaye verte (Tran Anh Hung)
9. Ba wang bie ji (Kaige Chen)
10. Manhattan Murder Mystery (Woody Allen)
11. Naked (Mike Leigh)
12. The Nightmare Before Christmas (Henry Selick)
13. Mina Tannenbaum (Martine Dugowson)
14. La classe américaine (Michel Hazanavicius)
15. Smoking/No smoking (Alain Resnais)
16. Dangerous Game (Abel Ferrara)
17. Caro diario (Nanni Moretti)
18. Cible émouvante (Pierre Salvadori)
19. Arizona Dream (Emir Kusturica)

Ahhhhhh, Trois couleurs : bleu...how the cinema can bringing how much emotion ? The fabulous music, the fantastic Juliette Binoche, this so human story.

The tilogy is about the tree words of the French Motto : "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" (Bleu, Blanc, Rouge) "Liberty, equality, fraternity".

6. La classe américaine - Michel Hazanavicius


un pour l'argent, deux pour le spectacle... trois pour le caillou...
I guess that's the less known movie outside France to star John Wayne, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, Orson Welles, Charles Bronson, Elvis and some others ^^

Je ne pouvais pas passer à côté de "La classe Américaine". C'te poilade intégrale la première fois que je l'ai vu...et depuis, il me fait toujours autant marrer. Je ne peux pas dire que ce soit réellement un bon film mais depuis que j'ai vu les films à la con mis par certains dans les années 2000, je me suis permis.

That trilogy is wonderful and one of the high points of the 90s to me, but that sentence was actually referring to Derek Jarman's film Blue.

He made the film after going blind when he was dying, and there are no visuals. Just a big blue screen for almost an hour and a half.

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

I've seen a total of six films from 1993. Five of them were good:

1. Philadelphia (30 pts.)
2. The Wrong Trousers (20 pts.)
3. Groundhog Day (15 pts.)
4. The Sandlot (10 pts.)
5. Rudy (8 pts.)

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

1) Sleepless in Seattle
2) Jurassic Park
3) Philadelphia
4) Dazed and Confused
5) The Nightmare Before Christmas
6) Groundhog Day
7) Cool Runnings
8) Carlito’s Way
9) Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey
10) The Man Without a Face
11) The Wrong Trousers

Re: Films of the '90s: 1993

I would've expected Schindler's List to win this easily, but I guess I forgot which boards I was posting on.

Title (Director) - Points/Votes/#1s
1. Groundhog Day (Harold Ramis) - 348/13/1
2. Short Cuts (Robert Altman) - 267/8/2
3. Dazed And Confused (Richard Linklater) - 218/7/0
4. Naked (Mike Leigh) - 205/7/2
5. Wallace & Gromit in The Wrong Trousers (Nick Park) - 180/7/2
6. Schindler's List (Steven Spielberg) - 178/6/2
7. The Piano (Jane Campion) - 170/8/0
8. Trois Couleurs: Bleu [Three Colours: Blue] (Krzysztof Kieslowski) - 168/8/1
9. Jurassic Park (Steven Spielberg) - 121/5/0
10. Philadelphia (Jonathan Demme) - 99/4/0

Got pretty close:
The Fugitive
What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Four directors join Yimou and the Coen brothers in having two films in the finale. Spielberg gets two films through in one year, and Demme, Kieslowski and Altman already had one in the next round.
