I was only born in 1998 so I guess that makes me edgy teen scum that doesn't appreciate how it was back in the good old days.

I've only watched a few of those films. I was born in 1986, so I never heard of most of them.

I a little younger than Wesley and being really small I only went to the theatre a couple of times that year. I am not familiar with 22 on your list of 47. I do feel like a better question would have been top ten of the 1990s' decade as a whole.

I can make a list of five all of which I own a copy of on DVD. That is it however.

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
2. Home Alone
3. Back To The Future Part III
4. Rocky V
5. Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Interestingly enough they are all apart of a franchise.
Honorable mention: Stephen King's It

Yeah my favorite movie is Citizen Kane and it was only made 42 years before I was born. Then the Godfather would be number 2 and that was only 10 years before I was born. Then probably Vertigo which was like 34 years before I was born. Then a tossup between No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood. So obviously I have a penchant for the classics. LOL!

I know for certain that at the time, when I was 8-9 years old, it was definitely the original TMNT movie. Whether that's still my favorite movie of that year, 25+ years later, I'd have to take a look at all of the movies that were released that year. There is a good chance though that it still is the TMNT movie.

Die hard 2 is good too, but the first one is the only in the series that I keep coming back to over and over again.

It's JakeSully. He always makes threads like this where he lists a gigantic top tv shows/movie list of a given year or decade.

What's wrong with asking about which 1990 movie do you consider to be the best?

Yes, the Green Acres reunion special telefilm was made and premiered in 1990. Such an underrated series no appreciated in its time and today. Yes, its ridiculous, but its fun.

I think of the decade as a whole 1990 and 1995 are the best years for film during the decade.
