[ STILL IN PROGRESS ]
here is where i'll spout off various thoughts about the past decade in film .. as usual, and as expected, i'll include a list of favorite films. but first, let's start with some random commentary.
for me personally, the 1990's will probably be the most important decade in film .. due to the fact that this was the point in my life when cinema became a true passion. this favoritism is also evident in my ratings, as most of my preferred films were made during this decade.
[ RANDOM FACTS ]
1994 and 1997. 1997, i graduated from college, and in 1994 .. well, nothing too significant occured. however, these two years did provide me with 11 of the 20 films i've listed below. every other year has at least one film on the list, except for 1993.
here's a randomly inspired rundown on the number of (notable) appearances on my list :
1 - natalie portman (actress)
1 - faye wong (actress)
2 - martin scorsese (director)
2 - quentin tarantino (writer/director)
2 - emanuelle beart (actress)
2 - tony leung (actor)
2 - takeshi kaneshiro (actor)
2 - tim roth (actor)
3 - harvey keitel (actor)
3 - wong kar-wai (writer/director)
