The Greatest Generation?

Jesse continues with his top ten lists and I'm catching up. This time it's for 1992. (He's actually revising an older list, but this is the first time I get to write about it.)

1. Glengarry Glen Ross
2. Unforgiven
3. Brother's Keeper
4. Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
5. Prime Suspect 2
6. Food
7. Porco Rosso
8. Reservoir Dogs
9. The Player
10. Candyman

I like Glengarry Glen Ross a lot, though I'm not sure if it's top ten material.  I don't like Unforgiven at all (and it's not backlash--I felt that way before it won the Best Picture Oscar).  Brother's Keeper is good, and I agree that the Twin Peaks movie doesn't get the credit it deserves.  I love Food but, as Jesse knows, I don't believe shorts should be on these lists.  Never saw Porco Rosso.  Reservoir Dogs should be here.  The Player I found disappointing, and Candyman only so-so.

His honorable mentions:

11. Swoon
12. A Brief History of Time
13. The Crying Game
14. Wayne's World
15. My New Gun
16. L.627
17. Barjo
18. Léolo
19. Rock Hudson's Home Movies
20. Malcolm X

Haven't seen 11, 15, 17 or 18.  I like 12.  !3 isn't bad, though the surprise was so big it's hard to judge it after that.  14 wasn't great.  Liked 16.  Like 19 a lot.  Didn't particularly like 20 (and I still want to know if it was Macolm X or Spike Lee who stole from Cole Porter).

Here are some films that would have made my top ten:

Aladdin

My Cousin Vinny

The Story Of Qiu Ju

Some other films I liked:

Bad Lieutenant, Diggstown, El Mariachi, Careful, A Few Good Men, Housesitter, A League Of Their Own (but that awful, lengthy framing device!), Love Potion No. 9, Memoirs Of An Invisible Man (for all its flaws), Mistress and Into The Soup (two films about the movie business better than The Player), Police Story 3
