İzleyici beğenileri, macera ve gerilim türünde kümelenirken, komedi filmlerine ilgi sınırlı kaldı.

Listede 1994 yapımı Esaretin Bedeli (The Shawshank Redemption), 706 bin 662 oyla ilk sırada bulunuyor. Frank Darabont'un yönettiği, Tim Robbins ve Morgan Freeman'ın başrollerini paylaştığı film, 10 üzerinden 9,2 puan aldı.

Stephen King'in öyküsünden uyarlanan dramda; karısını öldürmek suçundan Shawshank Hapishanesi'ne gönderilen genç banker Andy Dufreyne, burada amansız bir hayat mücadelesi verir. Zamanla mahkumlarla dost olur, onları hayata bağlamayı başarır.
Top 250'de Esaretin Bedeli'ni 1972 tarihli Baba (Godfather) ve onun devamı olan 1974 tarihli Baba 2 (Godfather Part 2) izliyor. Puanı 9,2 olan Baba, aradan geçen senelere rağmen popülerliği koruyor. Mario Puzzo'nun yazdığı romandan uyarlanan, Francis Ford Coppola tarafından yönetilen film, sinemaseverlerden 529 bin 58 oy almayı başardı. Marlon Brando ve Al Pacino'nun hünerlerini sergilediği film, Sicilya'dan New York'a göç eden bir mafya ailesinin öyküsünü anlatır.

Corleone ailesinin diğer ailelere karşı güç mücadelesini öyküler. Baba; 1990'da ABD Kongre Kütüphanesi tarafından kültürel, tarihi ve estetik olarak önemli fiilmler arasına seçilirken, yapımın ABD Ulusal Film Arşivi'nde muhafaza edilmesine karar verildi.

Serinin ilk filminden 2 sene sonra çekilen Baba 2 ise 9 puan ve 332 bin 434 oy elde etti. Burada Corleone ailesinde gücü elinde bulunduran iki kuşak konu alınır. Al Pacino ve Robert De Niro'nun oynadığı eser de 1993'te ABD Kongre Kütüphanesi tarafından kültürel, tarihi ve estetik olarak önemli fiilmler arasına seçildi; ardından ABD Ulusal Film Arşivi'ne alındı.
Puanları temel alındılğında Baba serisinin ardından 8,9 ile Ucuz Roman (Pulp Fiction), İyi, Kötü ve Çirkin (Il buono, Il brutto, Il Cattivo), 12 Öfkeli Adam (12 Angry Men) ile Schindler'in Listesi (Schindler's List) geliyor.

Quentin Tarantino tarafından yönetilen 1994 yapımı Ucuz Roman, kült bir film olarak kabul ediliyor. John Travolta ve Uma Thurman'ın rol aldığı filmin oyu 554 bin 59.

Western türünde model olabilecek İyi, Kötü ve Çirkin ise 1966 tarihli olup izleyicilerden halen büyük ilgi görüyor. İtalyan Sergio Leone'nin yönettiği filmde, Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Clief, Eli Wallach oynadı. Yapım, izleyiciden 221 bin 203 oy alabildi.
