1989

10. Glory (dir. Edward Zwick)
9. My Left Foot (dir. Jim Sheridan)
8. Crimes and Misdemeanors (dir. Woody Allen)
7. Sex, Lies and Videotape (dir. Steven Soderbergh)
6. The Little Mermaid (dir. Ron Clements and John Musker)

5. Born on the Fourth of July (dir. Oliver Stone)
It's a very good film fueled by Tom Cruise's amazing (what?) performance. It's pretty depressing but the journey of the main character is so compelling that who cares.
4. Drugstore Cowboy (dir. Gus Van Sant)
Bunch of drug addicts rob pharmacies. Yes, it's a road movie with a bunch of unlikable characters. What makes it great (outside of Matt Dillon's great performance) is the sense of desperation that the movie develops as it gets going.
3. Heathers (dir. Michael Lehmann)
A completely pitch-black satire of high school life and the quest for popularity. And when I say pitch-black, I mean it. I'm talking murder and all kinds of hilarious things. Classic.
2. Say Anything (dir. Cameron Crowe)
It's one of the greatest teen movies ever. That alone should make it worthy of being here but the movie is special because of the way that it treats its characters as being completely real. Iconic.
1. Do The Right Thing (dir. Spike Lee)
It's quite possibly the best movie ever made about the issue of race. You would think that a movie dealing with such a weighty topic would be boring or worse redundant. But the reason why this movie is so special is because it is so damn entertaining. The characters are a riot but they always feel real.
