Plus it has all those awesome fake trailers. And yeah, anything to get more movies in the finals. :) There are a lot of good ones.

My top 20 for the 90s is in. As dismal as I thought it would be, there actually were a lot a excellent movies in the 90s, although many are not straight up horror. Lots of dark crime thrillers, with some crossing over into horror enough to be make sense in the rankings. Also, quite a few horror comedies.
Here's my next 20, like I posted for the 80s. I think rankings 21-40 is a good indicator of the decade's quality and depth. Compared to my 80s "next 20," I think its a minor step down. Rankings 41-60, however, is a much bigger dropoff compared to the 80s.
21 Cure (1997)
22 Tremors (1990)
23 It (1990)
24 Man Bites Dog (1992)
25 Cemetery Man (1994)
26 Begotten (1990)
27 In the Mouth of Madness (1994)
28 Stir of Echoes (1999)
29 Body Melt (1993)
30 Alien 3 (The Assembly Cut) (1992)

32 Schramm: Into the Mind of a Serial Killer (1993)
33 The Curse of the Blair Witch (1999)
34 Event Horizon (1997)
35 Dracula (1992)
36 Mute Witness (1994)
37 Tesis (aka Thesis) (1996)
38 Splatter: Naked Blood (aka Megyaku) (1996)
39 From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
40 Thinner (1996)

I definitely agree. There were actually quite a few excellent movies in the 1990s. Interestingly, a few of the films you have on your 21+ list, I have on my top 20. As for Grindhouse, I have never seen that. I assume by your statements that it is good? Are both films good or just one of the two? If so, I will have to add it to my Netflix queue or buy it.
