how be we open it up to American directors who personally get things financed and don't go through Hollywood

Does that include Jim Jarmusch and John Sayles? Then here are the best ones...

• Dead Man
• Ghost Dog
• City of Hope
• Passion Fish
• Lone Star
• Men With Guns
• Limbo

Hey, I'm already up to 7 films with just 2 directors. Can I add David Lynch? Then throw in...

• Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
• Lost Highway
• The Straight Story

There you go, 10 excellent films from 3 American directors in the 1990s.

Perhaps the contest should have been to come up with 10 great American directors of the 1990s?
