I'll abstain until I see Mississippi Burning. I like the other four, but don't love any of them. Where are Running on Empty, Last Temptation of Christ, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and Unbearable Lightness of Being?

Toss up between 'Dangerous Liaisons' or 'Rain Man'. The former is probably superior, but 'Rain Man' gets a bum rap. Hoffman's performance is hugely overrated, but the film is very entertaining. Shame they opted for 'The Accidental Tourist' and 'Mississippi Burning' over the heart-wrenching 'Running on Empty'.
