Well, almost half of these are arguably great movies.

I only loved one of them, and only really liked one other. (Unforgiven then Schindler's).

I'd add Silence Of The Lambs and The English Patient.

And I enjoy Braveheart and Titanic.

I voted for Unforgiven largely because it's a great western and it's certainly one of my fave films of that genre.

2. Schindler's List
3. Braveheart
4. Silence of the Lambs
5. Titanic (it's a bit sentimental but spectacular overall on a technical scale)
6. Forrest Gump (though not by much)

The rest I don't care for.  The worst goes to Dances with Wolves because it beat Goodfellas.

1. Unforgiven (this movie actually made me go back and watch a lot of the old westerns. Upto to that point, i was convinced I don't like westerns without having watched a single one of them).
2. The English patient & Schindler's List
3. Silence of the Lambs

Don't care for any of the others.

Titanic - hate me if you will but it's a good, solid, entertaining film.

Believe it or not I've only seen Braveheart and I didn't think it was fantastic.

I'm a child of the 90's meaning I'm doing my best to forget about it, including most American films associated with the 90's.
