These aren't necessarily the movies I think are the best of the 1990s, they don't really match my movies of the year list, but are the ones I like the most and tend to rewatch. Didn't really start keeping track stuff I watched until 2017 so there is probably a bunch of stuff I'm missing especially in terms of foreign films since I used wikipedia to look things up.
