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 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! **Scorechaser: thank you for the scoops in re: to the Run Lola Run score. I will be checking it out d^_^b EDIT: I was 25 not 24 - my memory is trying to serve in my favour

|  |  |  | Posted: | Dec 28, 2008-8:49 PM | | | By: | Josh(Member) | 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.

(Bold = saw in the theater.) * Payback (disliked) * 8MM (liked) * Wing Commander (liked) * Ravenous (disliked) * EDtv (liked) * The Matrix (disliked) * Entrapment (disliked) * The Mummy (liked) * Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (disliked) * The Thirteenth Floor (liked) * Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (disliked) * The General's Daughter (liked) * Lake Placid (disliked) * The Blair Witch Project (liked) * Inspector Gadget (disliked) * Deep Blue Sea (liked) * The Sixth Sense (disliked) * The Thomas Crown Affair (disliked) * Bowfinger (liked) * The 13th Warrior (disliked) * Stir of Echoes (liked) * Blue Streak (liked) * Double Jeopardy (liked) * Three Kings (disliked) * Bats (liked) * The World Is Not Enough (disliked) * Sleepy Hollow (liked) * End of Days (liked) * Galaxy Quest (liked) 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!! One of my favourites of 1999 d^_^b  That was one of the strangest movies I've ever seen in my life.

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.

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

 That was one of the strangest movies I've ever seen in my life.  It was a CRAZY film, no doubt. No way possible to place yourself in one of the character's shoes...at least IMO. 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.
