I thought it was a very good film, but I don't think I would have put it at the top. Scorsese was on the show with Ebert and picked "The Horse Thief" as his best of the 90's. Actually made in the 80's but Scorsese said he was going to cheat and put it as a 90's film because that's when it was widely seen. Anyone here familiar with that film? I haven't seen it...I don't think any of my rental sources have it.
