Late night nomination....
The Addams family (1991)
https://youtu.be/4t2tdKD9tPs
That last entry reminded me, that there's very few foreign language films in the tournament so far....
Lauded as being an existential masterpiece, my next nomination aims to rectify that. It currently holds a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 52 reviews, and an audience score of 94% based on over 35,000 user ratings.
"It's a film about destiny and chance, solitude and communication, cynicism and faith, doubt and desire; about lives affected by forces beyond rationalization. The assured direction avoids woolly mysticism by using material resources—actors, color, movement, composition, sound—to illuminate abstract concepts. Stunningly beautiful, powerfully scored and immaculately performed, the film is virtually flawless, and one of the very greatest cinematic achievements of the last few decades. A masterpiece."
- Geoff Andrew (Time Out London)

I nominate Breakdown. One I forgot about but really liked.
I really feel like as someone said earlier in this thread, this will be the greatest list of 1990s movies ever, probably. I'm sure we'll miss some great lesser known gems and foreign films, but on the whole this will be the ultimate '90s tournament. I hope we can do this for all other decades as well. The older decades might need to be scaled down to 200 or even less titles, we'll be about that, but I'm sure we won't have any trouble in the 2000s and the 2010s.

Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
I did not see Copland nominated. If it is not, I would like nominate it.
