The most recent movie in my top 20 was released in 1979 - Apocalypse Now.

If I had to make a top 10 list of just 1990-present movies, I guess it would look like this:

1. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
2. The Big Lebowski
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Miller's Crossing
5. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
6. The Royal Tenenbaums
7. Army of Darkness
8. Ghost World
9. Ed Wood
10. Shadows and Fog

I don't think theres a single 90s movie in my top 20. In the top 50, Chungking Express would place somewhere.

EDIT: Nevermind, Goodfellas would be in the top 20.

LotR series, Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, Dark City, Mulholland Drive

I'm 20 with little background in older flicks, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
