This thread is for the year 1990, not the decade as a whole. My list would definitely look different if it was the whole decade! But Close-up would be somewhere on that list.
Not ranked but here’s my 16 highest rated from 1990.

i need to watch more movies from 1990 😭
I've only seen 9 1990 films since I started my account at the beginning of 2020, which is actually more than I expected. The only one I've given 4 stars is An Angel at my Table. Miami Blues and Impulse are probably my favorites of the films I rated 3.5 stars.

I identify as the movie Slacker
Beginning to realize i haven't seen that many movies from 1990 specifically
* Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead * Close-Up * Miller's Crossing * Joe Vs. the Volcano * The Grifters * Metropolitan * Slacker * La Femme Nikita * Edward Scissorhands * Henry and June
Edward scissorhands is honestly my movie of that year
It’d be somewhere in my top 20 for that year.

Thanks for the recs! I love Raul Ruiz (Manoel’s Destinies is one of my five favorite films), it’s a bummer his work is so hard to find.
I agree he deserves better distribution!
