1989's Best Movies: 30 Years Later

The main list is short but I think it covers a lot of bases.

I mention Frederick Wiseman too often, but '89 was also Near Death, my second favourite film of his.

of the 3 i've seen (do the right thing, the killer, when harry met sally): no award

I mention Frederick Wiseman too often, but '89 was also /Near Death/, my second favourite film of his.

Other than WHY HAS BOHDI-DHARMA LEFT FOR THE EAST?, I've not seen any of the non-US films which predominate in these lists, so I won't vote. But of the US films listed, I thought Drugstore Cowboy was excellent, while the others, like Right Thing, Harry Met Sally, or Dead Poets, were just mostly OK.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

It's Do the Right Thing. Duh.

It's Elephant, but there's five classics on here.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

never saw City of Sadness, I would probably really love it, as it is I'm voting for Do the Right Thing

or would have if the poll hadn't already ended

The Cook, The Thief... is pretty amazing, I need to see more Greenway. Loved Belly Of An Architect too

I loved that film, want to see it again

The results of this one are imperialism.

Do the Right Thing and The Killer will be one and two, but A City of Sadness should be taught in film schools world wide, and with it's win of the Golden Lion that year, it's definitely one of the most important films of all time.
