I seem to remember it as one of the more interesting years, with Holloywood making several big-budget movies that I would consider deliciously subversive:

Three Kings
Fight Club
American Beauty
Election

I never understood the love of American Beauty. It was Fight Club without any teeth.

Wow! I forgot Star Wars: The Phantom Menance had been released that year.

I think my favourite film from that year was Run Lola Run. I wonder what the score is like...hmmmm.

The score is very technobased and has a, shal I say, "swirling" quality too it. It is very hypnotic. It is quiet good actually. I think the score is rather easy aviable.

I lovingly refer to 1999 as "The Year of The Mummy." FSM Board: Ten Years Ago: The Movies of 1999 (51) Not since Jurassic Park had I become that obsessed with a film, and saw it a record six times in the theater. I kept going back and taking friends to see it because I just couldn't get enough.

I believe that was also one of the last years I went to the movies on a regular basis. It seems I've seen less and less each year since then. My family and I moved in 1999, and the closest theater is in town about 25 minutes away, so I don't get there as often now since you have to drive through a bunch of country backroads and stuff.

Wow! I forgot Star Wars: The Phantom Menance had been released that year.

I feel old now. I skipped my Senior Prom to see The Phantom Menace. Again.

Then we went back and did donuts on the school's front lawn while people arrived for post-prom. I wish I was as daring these days.

You feel old! I was 25 when The Phantom Menace was released (O_O)

And I would have *definitely* skipped my senior prom to see Phantom. I played "dodge the date" all evening...not fun at all!

Here's a list of all the films I've seen that were released in 1999:

Office Space
Ravenous *
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace *
Buena Vista Social Club
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me *
Run Lola Run
The Blair Witch Project *
The Sixth Sense *
American Beauty
Fight Club
Being John Malkovich *
American Movie
Sleepy Hollow *
Magnolia
The Talented Mr. Ripley *
Galaxy Quest

* saw it in the theater

If I had to pick one favorite from that list, I'd go with The Blair Witch Project, for no other reason than because it scared the living crap out of me (I saw it on opening day with no previous knowledge of what it was going to be about, ignored all pretenses, and just let it take me along for the ride). It's interesting that I've never had any desire to see it again, though, as doing so would diminish the impact of the original experience, which I prefer to remain intact.

I agree. I saw it opening day with about 2-3 other people in the other theater but was in the very back myself, and I was surprised by how effective it was. Scared the bejeezus out of me. Oddly enough, the next few times I tried to watch it on home video, I was never able to finish it.

Holy Hole in a Doughnut, Batman! I forgot about RAVENOUS!!

I thought THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was severely overrated. Except for a scene towards the very end, it didn't scare me. Compared with something like THE GRUDGE, which scared me out of my pants and almost away from horror movies ever since, it doesn't come close.

1999 was a terrific year. DOGMA, ELECTION, FIGHT CLUB, DOGMA, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, TOPSY TURVEY, SLEEPY HOLLOW, THE INSIDER, THE SIXTH SENSE, THREE KINGS, THE STRAIGHT STORY, TITUS, SOUTHPARK: BIGGER LONGER AND UNCUT, TOY STORY 2, ANALYZE THIS, BOWFINGER, EYES WIDE SHUT, THE IRON GIANT, Imaginative and diverse selection. Weak on the blockbuster front, though.

It was released in 1998 (I didn't see it until about 2004). It is one HELL of a movie.

I agree entirely. I had to wait untill the very last scene before I was scared and then the movie stopped.

An incredibly strange and different movie. I wouldn't mind seeing it again, just to see if it's as strange as I remember!

I remember 1999 for EYES WIDE SHUT, FIGHT CLUB and THE INSIDER in particular. It was also the year I saw THE THIN RED LINE five times at the cinema, since that film only came out in Australia in Feb '99.
