In Reply to: Ebert picks "Hoop Dreams" as best film of the 90's. Comments? posted by Ears on February 28, 2000 at 13:46:59:
If I remember right, Siskel and Ebert picked "Shoah", another documentary, as best film of the '80's. My pick would be either "Naked" or "Secrets and Lies", both directed by Mike Leigh.
I think there were two trends for films in the '90's. First, the success of "Pulp Fiction" produced a whole bunch of wannabees, where attitude was numero uno as a theme over plot. Second, and more interesting, is the resurgence of films without a standard structured narrative (e.g., "Lost Highway", "Taste of Cherry", "Chunking Express"). What this means for me is that these films are going to be more abstract, challenging/difficult to view, and may risk total "crash and burn" (for me, that means "Lost Highway"). Remember Bunuel's "Un Chien Andalou"? Get ready for similar efforts from independent filmmakers.
... have missed all of them. I make it a point to forego any Quentin Tarantino / Tim Burton flicks. Ive found that I'm much happier that way.
