Honorable Mentions

They almost got into the list...

It started as a "20 most favourites list", but in that decade, so many excellent movies were made, that I found myself unable to choose ONLY 20.

The following list gathers my main favourite movies made during the referred decade.

It is possible I may change my mind, thereby this list can be undergone to editions.

I tried not to repeat directors, but in some instances it is my duty to make exceptions.

Lista lindona, das mais completas e bem "eclética"! haha

Preciso conferir Body Heat, Near Dark, Cutter's Way e o filme do Almodóvar xD

As ausências de They Live, Escape From NY, The Fly, To Live and Die in L.A., After Hours (que eu não gosto muito, mas sei que você adora) e do filme do Leone me surpreenderam bastante.

... e At Close Range está entre os três melhores, garota ;) rsrs

PS: Videodrome é unânime entre os dez melhores. Incrível =]

Great taste. Only one I didn't like is Paris, Texas for some reason and I really wanted to. I dunno, I'm a weirdo.
