Films of 1990

1990 was the most paranoid year of its era.

Across 137 well-known films, 1990 reads higher on paranoia than the decade around it — 41.1 against 35.6, a gap of 5.5. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
