Unfortunately, this list has a serious Lady Problem.  No female directors in the top 50 (Clueless, The Piano, Gas Food Lodging?), no Silence of the Lambs, and a serious devaluing of stories-about-women.  I'm sure every contributor can defend him or herself and not see fault, but the collective result is worrisome.

High point: wrote two episodes of Police Squad!
Low point: is probably working now as John C. Reilly's stunt double.

It may be the last great Pacino performance in which his over-acting is property rationed.  Also, Captain von Trapp IS Mike Wallace.

None of them are South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut either, and no 1990s film made me laugh more.
