Best Rock Songs 1990-2008/Top 15 Films







5. Closer (1994) – Nine Inch Nails
4. Shine – Collective Soul
3. Save Tonight – Eagle Eye Cherry
2. The Man Who Sold the World (1994) - Nirvana
1. Living Together (2007) – Circa Survive

The above/below list was compiled on February 25, 2009. Easily, one may spot that it definitely DOES NOT list the greatest songs of 1990-2008. However, it has a whole lot of songs that have made it on published top 100 etc. lists such as VH1 and Rolling Stone. It also holds my own personal twists which one may glean on number twenty-three for example. Bear in mind they are not listed in order of least great to greatest or vice/versa. They are merely numbered (I did try and save a few of the better ones for the top of the list though to add a little suspense).
I think it is appropriate to add my list of CURRENT favorite films of all time!
15. Boogie Nights - Dir. Paul Thomas Anderson (Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynold, Philip Seymour Hoffman) (1997)
14. Capote - Dir. Bennet Miller (2005) (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener)
13. Superbad - (2007) Dir. Greg Mottola (Jonah Hill, Michael Cerra, Seth Rogen)
12. Silence of the Lambs - Dir. Jonathan Demme (1991) (Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins)

10. The Shining - Dir. Stanley Kubrick (1980) (Jack Nicholson)

8. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - (2003) Dir. Peter Jackson (Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortenson)
7. Reservoir Dogs (1992) - Dir. Quentin Tarantino (Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi)

2. There Will Be Blood (2006) - Dir. Paul Thomas Anderson (Daniel Day-Lewis)
1. Pulp Fiction (1994) - Dir. Quentin Tarantino (Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman)
1970s - 1
1980s - 1
1990s - 7
2000s - 6
Well....I too notice the lack of movies before the 1990s but bear in mind I was born in 1990!!! I know there a plenty of wonderful, fascinating films preceding my birth (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Dr. Strangelove, Planet of the Apes, Casablanca etc...) but I grew up with the films (of course, some I didn't see until I was older such as Boogie Nights for good reason)
goodnight
