Bring It On Back: The Best of the ’90s

If Twitter is good for one thing, it’s for satiating our inexplicable desire to make lists. So many a critic and film buff to the micro blogging platform to list the best and/or their favorite films of the 1990s with the hashtag #90sTen. I’m not entire sure whom to blame for this explosion of nostalgia. I kid; lists like these are fun to make and ignite a fun kind of engagement with people and their love of film. You can find new things to watch, find fellow admirers of particular films, and marvel at all the great things the medium has to offer. Here were some of the most interesting lists. (For what it’s worth, you can find mine here.)
