If you frequent this blog, you will often find lists of some of my favorite classic motion pictures from way back when.

On occasion, I receive emails from some of you fine people about what modern movies I enjoyed or I think are classics.

It is difficult to define modern, but I’m going to go with films that have come out since I was born in 1988 (in no particular order):

Schindler’s List

Pulp Fiction

There Will Be Blood

21 Grams

JFK

Memento

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

Heat

Downfall (German)

The Lives of Others (German)

Note: I think Christopher Nolan is the best filmmaker today, and I’ve enjoyed every picture (except that Al Pacino / Robin Williams film) of his.
