I found it to be a nice and entertaining exercise to do this type of lists. So I did another one for the 90's. Perhaps later on I'll be doing one for each decade.
 
Pick your favorite one. I think this one was even tougher to do than the 80's one. There were lots of films I wish I could have included as well.

Lion King is one of my favorite movies too.

Clerks.  I've worked in a used bookstore, fast food, and a convenience store...

Fight Club for me, excellent film.

Not hear dof Odishon before, but as a Miike Takashi film I will hunt it down.

I did like The Sixth Sense. 

 
I'll go for Fight Club from the list

Many good ones here too, although not nearly as many as on the 80's list. Voted for Begotten.

Blue is in another league from most of these, but Clerks and Dazed are so fun I could re-watch anytime.

Bleu for me too, I adore Kieslowski's Three Colours Trilogy.  I'm also a great fan of Jarmusch.  Twelve Monkeys is excellent, but I don't think Gilliam could come up with another  film that I like as much as Brazil.  I like Barton Fink muchly, but my favourite Coen bros film is 1990s Miller's Crossing.  Happiness is terrific -- was really impressed with that film.  Also liked Boogie Nights very much.  That's a good Woody Allen choice, I think.

Not so keen on: I love various Stanley Kubrick films, but Eyes Wide Shut was a pretty big disappointment for me.  I found it felt forced, and pretty insubstantial.  I'm not saying it's a bad film, but I was a big Kubrick fan and felt it just didn't quite deliver on my expectations.  As usual with Kubrick, I liked the mise en scene.

Also Existenz didn't impress me that much.  I certainly liked it, but being a Cronenberg fan I had very high expectations.

Amazingly, I have not seen Goodfellas.

It's hard not to vote for Fight Club here. That said, there are a lot of great films listed. 12 Monkeys is amazing, Groundhog Day seems to get better every time I see it, Toy Story is incredibly innovative and heartwarming, Magnolia is just beautiful.

I must be a 90's curmudgeon. I haven't seen half of em, haven't heard of a quarter of em and don't like the rest very much. Goodfellas is the only decent thing I see there.

Hard to go by Fight Club and it's lashing out at the white collar mentality, and 12 Monkeys is great, but I had to go with Groundhog Day.

You should; that's a good list.  What impresses me with Alex, perhaps you've mentioned it before or discussed it with him so he already knows it's a favourite of yours, is that he was so confident that  that would one of your favourites, and it is (at least second string), that he felt comfortable asking that question in five question mark form (implying that should be here because it should be one of your favourites, I guess).  But maybe he already knew or figured it out via your other choices.  I like Shawshank Redemption, but it wouldn't make my list (which would probably be non-English language dominated because in at least half of the the 90s I mostly watched non-English language stuff).  It would make my wife's as she loved that film.  I actually feel really foolish with my post for implying (reading between the lines) that that might not be one of your favourites and therefore there should be no expectation that it would be here.  I just find a lot of people asking such questions when it comes to personal lists, and find it an odd, and sometimes irritating, thing to ask.  Sometimes when I've done a poll and those people knew my tastes well, though, they were bang on the money and I felt like an idiot for not including the option.  Very impressive deduction if it wasn't known, anyway.

By the way, have you seen The Player (1992) which stars Tim Robbins? That's my favourite film with him.

EDIT: By the way, I have enjoyed these polls, it's helping to re-kindle my old passion for film.  Thanks for doing them.

Lol, no. I haven't discussed my favorite films with him before. And yes. Sometimes it can be a little irritating to be continuously explaining why any of the "obvious" choices isn't included. Such as Shawhank Redemption or any Tarantino films of the 90's could be. Of course I know that the main purpose of this shouldn't be satisfying everyone's tastes, but I know that is something to struggle with when you make this type of polls. So I don't mind that much. Whenever someone complains about the lack of one of their favorites and I feel like giving a response, I do it. And if not, I don't.
 
I haven't seen The Player. I think It would be interesting to see a list of yours, Logan. Thumbs Up
