DarkSideOfLucca: Best of the 1999 movies?

DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Oh also 1999 metal albums, obviously
theacademy 10.24.17	deep blue sea u fucking idiot
theacademy 10.24.17	and get american beauty off the list
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Lmaooo American Beauty rules hard bro
theacademy 10.24.17	it had a nice reign as the worst best picture winner ever until crash won https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCs2slK8GkY&t=1s
SteakByrnes 10.24.17	deep blue sea [2]
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Wait you really don't like American Beauty? The bag scene was cheesy, but everything else was awesome. Did you not grow up in the suburbs?
theacademy 10.24.17	i did which is why i find movies about suburban malaise so terribly hollow
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Nah man that movie was so spot on that it's scary. Definitely not the best worst picture winner outside of Crash (although everyone agrees that Crash is the worst). Also the music, the screenplay, acting, etc - everything worked for me in American Beauty.
Drifter 10.24.17	I've only seen 16 from this list
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	WHAT Buy Fight Club and The Matrix on blu-ray immediately And then buy everything else
Futures 10.24.17	chris cooper in american beauty is one of the best performances ever don't @ me
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Wait a minute, Drifter were you around in 1999? Fight Club didn't get bigger until later so as much as it depresses me that you haven't seen it, I get it but The Matrix? How the hell did you miss that one?
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Also Sixth Sense was everywhere
Drifter 10.24.17	I'm only 15 lol
SteakByrnes 10.24.17	You're slacking if you haven't seen at least half this list
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Holy fucking shit, still though get on these movies and don't tell any adult that I told you to
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Drifter I have lived double the amount of time that you have. Listen to my wisdom.
Drifter 10.24.17	The best 3 movies of all time came out in 1994, 2002, and 2007. Can you guys guess what they are?
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men for 2007 for sure - I remember being pumped about the Academy actually fighting between two of my favorites from that year
Drifter 10.24.17	There Will Be Blood is 2007 yes! Now 1994 and 2002
SteakByrnes 10.24.17	Pulp Fiction?
neekafat 10.24.17	Literally just watched Magnolia hahaha goddamn amazing film honestly
Drifter 10.24.17	Nope
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Shawshank?
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Also fuck yeah neek, if you have like an entire evening to spare on its runtime it is well worth it
Drifter 10.24.17	Yes Shawshank is 1994! Now just 2002
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Stuart Little 2?
Drifter 10.24.17	Nope
Riviere 10.24.17	The Rules of Attraction
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Was kidding about Stuart Little 2 aha - LOTR?
Drifter 10.24.17	Nope, nope
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	City of God or 28 Days Later
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Oh shit Blade 2 came out that year, that was such a fucking awesome action movie
Drifter 10.24.17	Nope, nope, nope
Astral Abortis 10.24.17	uh out of films on this list my fave is probably either blair witch or toy story 2 but idk none of these films were all that amazing for me
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	@astral - wuuuuutttt
Atari 10.24.17	@drifter, adaptation?
Drifter 10.24.17	Nope
Avagantamos 10.24.17	office space is my second favorite movie of all time, behind twelve monkeys :)
Drifter 10.24.17	This movie is also my favorite movie so that's pretty cool
Atari 10.24.17	Spirited away or Gangs of New York
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Minority Report? I swear to God if it's Star Wars ep 2 I'll fight you
Drifter 10.24.17	Nope, nope
Drifter 10.24.17	Nope, nope
Atari 10.24.17	shit, I thought I had it with gangs of new york
Avagantamos 10.24.17	spirited away come out in 2001
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	One Hour Photo? Insomnia?
Drifter 10.24.17	Nope, nope
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Blade 2 was my favorite movie of all time for like a few days after I saw that in theaters
Atari 10.24.17	was just gonna say Insomnia lol
Drifter 10.24.17	Lol lucca
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	The Pianist? Uhhh
Drifter 10.24.17	HELL YEAH
Drifter 10.24.17	Fuck I love that movie. Been my fav for years
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Holy shit, really?? Haha, yeah man it's fucking amazing, it is just such a hard watch. That's another one I saw in theaters and I STILL haven't heard a more quiet sold out theater in my entire fucking life. I also missed Schindler's List in theaters so I don't have that one to compare it to.
Atari 10.24.17	funny how this thread turned into guess Drifter's favorite movies I'm gonna have to revisit the pianist
Drifter 10.24.17	That movie is just so perfect I couldn't do it justice saying the great things . Adrien Brody deserved that Oscar. Still has the record for youngest person to get an Oscar at 28 I think? Crazy
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	A Clockwork Orange is up there for one of my favorite movies of all time. And I get it, man. The Pianist is pretty flawless, I just have to be in the mood for it.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	"funny how this thread turned into guess Drifter's favorite movies" [2]
Drifter 10.24.17	[3] I was quite amused by it
Hawks 10.24.17	American Pie & Austin Powers are still some of my absolute favorites and The Sixth Sense scared the living shit out of me when it first came out. Me being 7 years old at the time probably has something to do with that but still lol.
Winesburgohio 10.24.17	10 Things IHate ABout you you fucking philistine
Hawks 10.24.17	^^^^^ Another classic.
TheSonomaDude 10.24.17	Baby geniuses and my favorite Martian are the best films of 1999
tempest-- 10.24.17	being john malkovich rules hard
DominionMM1 10.24.17	obviously deuce bigalow wins this one
DoofusWainwright 10.24.17	One of the best years for movies and I remember watching most of these in the cinema. Overall most complete and ‘perfectly constructed’ film? The Matrix. Fight Club is a glorious mess though and Spacey was at his best in American Beauty.
porcupinetheater 10.24.17	Magnolia's rad, eXistenZ covers similar themes to The Matrix and is way better, and Beau Travail has basically the greatest ending ever
Winesburgohio 10.24.17	i thought beau travail was 2000 otherwise that would probably be my pick, astounding movie that
porcupinetheater 10.24.17	Beau Travail got a 2000 US release, but the official's still Y2K, either way, anything that lets Denis Lavant walk around in existential ennui and then lets Denis Lavant dance his fucking ass off is perfect beyond debate
Spacesh1p 10.24.17	Porc what's up dude
Rik VII 10.24.17	eXistenZ and Matrix are on the same level imo. The former is more intelligent and the latter is more directly entertaining. Both good but none of them stunned me. Cronenberg has better films too
Rik VII 10.24.17	Also: The Insider by Michael Mann is the best movie of 1999.
DinosaurJones 10.24.17	The Green Mile, man. So many feels.
Sinternet 10.24.17	American beauty easy
neekafat 10.24.17	@Lucca I was watching it for my Film Structure class so at first it was a chore, by the end I was so invested!
Clumseee 10.24.17	V easy American Beauty
bloc 10.24.17	The Mummy
Yotimi 10.24.17	Magnolia for sure
Gyromania 10.24.17	Watching it again several years later, fight club is actually pretty weak. American beauty, thematrix, being john malkovich, and magnolia are all classics tho
EyesWideShut 10.24.17	Missing some of these clossics The Straight Story Bringing Out The Dead Ghost Dog Payback The Insider The Limey Virgin Suicides
Gyromania 10.24.17	I wonder what your favourite movie from that year is, EyesWideShut
Gyromania 10.24.17	Acad American beauty is fantastic wtf. Not used to you having such bad opinions
bloc 10.24.17	Deep Blue Sea is classic though
Aerisavion 10.24.17	'Deep Blue Sea is classic though' That Samuel L Jackson speech..
SteakByrnes 10.24.17	Deep Blue Sea is the best shark movie behind Jaws tbh
Aerisavion 10.24.17	That's a fair comment. The Shallows was pretty decent too imo
SteakByrnes 10.24.17	I still gotta see that, as well as that 47 meters one or whatever it's called
Aerisavion 10.24.17	The trailer for that movie did look laughably bad but I still want to watch it too haha
dbizzles 10.24.17	American Beauty doesn't really hold up, imo. films plastic bag in the wind
Deathconscious 10.24.17	The first Matrix movie was so good, too bad the sequels didnt live up to it.
GmemberKills 10.24.17	blair witch project is the best one here
SteakByrnes 10.24.17	I can't not watch a shark movie lmao, they're either so cheesy and bad that I love them, or just generally enjoyable. Very rarely are they just shit haha
Aerisavion 10.24.17	It's a shame cause a great shark movie is really enjoyable. I take it you've seen Open Water?
SteakByrnes 10.24.17	I have seen Open Water, not in a long time tho. I remember liking it quite a bit, especially the ending
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	@neek - Oh yeah, I can see that being taught in a film class. Damn, I missed when I was in the humanities - I got my undergrad in English, now I do math every day for a real estate company and am applying to get my MBA so it's not nearly as much fun as it used to be. I used to take film classes, horror literature, Greek and Roman literature, etc. Good times. And Fight Club isn't weak, how dare you
EyesWideShut 10.24.17	Open Water was p unsettling, i still dont know how they de-teethed those sharks
Aerisavion 10.24.17	It's an okay movie, shame it's a true story; the guys who didn't notice they were missing were fucking morons.
dbizzles 10.24.17	'The first Matrix movie was so good, too bad the sequels didnt live up to it.' Wasn't that because they jacked the script and idea from someone for the first and then had to come up with their own follow-ups?
bloc 10.24.17	Knew I could count on my niggaz to back me up on that shark shit
bloc 10.24.17	The Matrix Reloaded rave scene with the Neo / Trinity sex scene spliced in is one of the most cringe-worthy scenes in film I have ever seen. Despite that, when the it first came out I thought the entire movie was flawless lol. I remember watching the lengthy highway chase scene over and over again.
SteakByrnes 10.24.17	I still can't believe they used actual sharks in Open Water, shit is wild
Aerisavion 10.24.17	Hah! That fucking rave/sex scene was terrible. The highway chase is incredible though, I remember being so pumped seeing that for the first time. Great soundtrack too.
bloc 10.24.17	And those fuckin albino twins blew my mind
Aerisavion 10.24.17	The concept behind those guys is actually really cool. The fact that they're meant to be from an older incarnation of the Matrix where supernatural beasts etc were normal and existed is a really sweet idea imo.
bloc 10.24.17	It also still blows my mind when I think back to how Will Smith was the first choice to be Neo
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	Highway scene in Reloaded was fucking amazing - that movie as a whole was not so amazing though Also lmao yeah Will Smith would not have fit that role at all
neekafat 10.24.17	@Lucca ugh man that sounds frustrating :/ Do you have a favorite off this list??
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	@neek - the top 3 are all my favorites
neekafat 10.24.17	Fight Club? Sorry man, 8/10 in my book but the other two are stone cold classics
Rik VII 10.24.17	8/10 sounds right for Fight Club. American Beauty too. Matrix is more like a 7.
neekafat 10.24.17	I've only seen half of these fuck
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	wtf Neek Also I love Fight Club more than all of you. Could be partially that when I first saw that movie I have never seen anything like it before. It just has so many great ideas - the score is fucking amazing, it's filmed so well, I love the acting, the tone, so many awesome and dark one liners, etc
Muppelope 10.24.17	From the ones I've seen on this list I'd say fight club and magnolia are my favorites. Probably fight club over magnolia but I need to rewatch magnolia.
residentzombie 10.24.17	Requiem for a dream is great too, too bad it came out in 2000 otherwise this would be another great addition for this list
Trebor. 10.24.17	Spotlight is worse than Crash on the real Fight Club is so lol
DarkSideOfLucca 10.24.17	How is Fight Club lol? You damn kids don't understand
residentzombie 10.24.17	Fight Club is good but it grew off me for whatever reason, like I still definitely enjoy it but I don't go out of my way to watch it
DikkoZinner 10.24.17	Fidelio
Deathconscious 10.24.17	@bizzles idk, but im reading Neuromancer after im done with my current one, and the book description mentions a Matrix. "The Matrix is a world within the world, a global consensus-hallucination, the representation of every byte of data in cyberspace..." the book was published in 1984.
Dewinged 10.25.17	3 is my absolute favorite. But 1 is such a classic.
Drifter 10.25.17	I liked when this comment section was focused on me
neekafat 10.25.17	I'd probably like it more after two years of film school tbh
Drifter 10.25.17	?
dbizzles 10.25.17	@AC, I actually started listening to Neuromancer today. But, that's not what I'm talking about. I'd have to look into it's validity, but from what I remember, some lady kept sending the script to different studios with rejections or low offers and eventually someone basically ripped off her script and made their own.
Deathconscious 10.25.17	wouldnt be surprised. im sure that shit happens all the time.
dbizzles 10.25.17	Yeah, I imagine. Makes even more sense that sequels blow more often than not.
dbizzles 10.25.17	Only 2 chapters in, but Neuromancer is already awesome by the way. OvRot rec'd it to me a while back.
Deathconscious 10.25.17	noice. im looking forward to it. im reading the sequel to Gateway by Frederick Pohl atm.
dbizzles 10.25.17	I'm not familiar. Let me know if it's good. I've got a huuuuuuge queue of books to read, but it can always use an addition.
Deathconscious 10.25.17	Gateway was great, the sequel is decent so far but not as good. there are 5 or 6 books in the series i think, its called the Heechee Saga.
dctarga 10.26.17	Mystery Men No one has mentioned that one yet? Man....such a good movie
DarkSideOfLucca 10.26.17	Mystery Men was the shit back in the day
Aerisavion 10.26.17	You should check out Ravenous. Really fucking great 1999 black comedy mixed with horror suspense movie about cannibalism w/Guy Pierce and Robert Carlyle.
bloc 10.26.17	Guy Pierce is hot
Aerisavion 10.27.17	You’ll enjoy Ravenous then haha
unclereich 10.27.17	Toy story 2 sucked
linguist2011 10.29.17	Out of these, has to be Audition for me.
Gmork89 11.03.17	Deep Blue Sea is so under appreciated. "Deepest bluest my hat is like a sharks fin"
bloc 11.03.17	Hell yeah Gmork
Clumseee 11.06.17	Remembers Iron Giant came out in 99. Thread ends.
Doctuses 02.20.18	damn 99 was a tight year.
guitarded_chuck 02.20.18	back when hollywood made more than remakes and 20 superhero movies a year
DikkoZinner 02.20.18	"Ravenous" good call
dbizzles 02.20.18	Ain't that the truth, Chuck?
twlight 02.20.18	wait where is the phantom menace??
Doctuses 02.20.18	Hollywood is fo fukboiz
Rik VII 02.20.18	Currently, for the most part, yes.
Drifter 02.20.18	Oh yeah this thread Pianist is the goat
dbizzles 02.20.18	TIME TO REBOOT GOONIES WE NEED THAT
SteakByrnes 02.20.18	Green Mile and Fight Club are probably my favorites, gotta show love to Deep Blue Sea as well my guy
Rik VII 02.20.18	Don't really know why The Pianist was brought up since it's from 2002, but yes, that's one of the best and most important films imo. It deserves Schindler's List's spot as the most popular WWII movie (and I do like SL too).
Drifter 04.13.18	The Truman Show is one of my favorite movies
butcherboy 04.13.18	fight club is a two hour army commercial
robertsona 04.13.18	Favorite from 1999 is probably BEAU TRAVAIL. ROSETTA is pretty good too, although most other Dardennes are better
TheSonomaDude 04.13.18	The Iron Giant Ghost Dog The Virgin Suicides South Park Julien Donkey-Boy Audition Beau Travail Pola X Dogma The Sixth Sense Any Given Sunday Under Solen The Talented Mr Ripley Rosetta Jin-Roh: Wolf Brigade Toy Story 2 Not necessarily one of my favorite years for films tbh. If anything, it was a great year for American animation.
ChrimzonCanine 08.19.21	That awkward moment when Tarzan isn't mentioned
Emim 08.19.21	Mystery Men? Bloodsport 4? Stuart Little?
Emim 08.19.21	But for real probably The Mummy or Galaxy Quest. Office Space close behind.
