1999

Magnolia

December 31, 1999

USA  •  Anderson  •  1999

a film as great and daring as this comes very infrequently. p.t. anderson is absolutely a genius. i strongly urge you to see it.

up

Shakespeare In Love

December 16, 1999

USA  •  Madden  •  1998

Saving Private Ryan was better, much better. Paltrow has good tits, but that’s it.

down

Green Mile

December 13, 1999

USA  •  Darabont  •  1999

good and long…like my dick. actually it was one of those that makes you think about how screwed the world is. well done. you should see it.

up

Uncle Buck

December 12, 1999

USA  •  Hughes  •  1989

another great john hughes/candy masterpiece…an instant classic.

up

December 9, 1999

surprised that it wasn’t horrible…started out great, but pulled a hollywood…still see it.

up

Junior

December 4, 1999

USA  •  Reitman  •  1994

i love arnold, but the movie wasn’t that great…a bit hokey…see it with a kid or something.

way up

Army Of Darkness

November 29, 1999

USA  •  Raimi  •  1992

really good, watch  the first (evil dead) too. different feel, but both are worthwhile.

up

South Park: Bigger, Longer, And Uncut

November 28, 1999

USA  •  Parker  •  1999

really really funny for those with some sick humor, like me. not for anyone under 16. just as good the second time.

up

Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory

November 28, 1999

Germany, US  •  Stuart  •  1971

one of the best movies around…no matter your age.

up

Full Metal Jacket

November 27, 1999

UK  •  Kubrick  •  1987

probably Kubrick’s finest, in my humble opinion…talks to social issues as well as entertains…witting comedy. Must See!

up

Taxi Driver

November 13, 1999

USA  •  Scorsese  •  1976

didn’t see the whole thing, but from what i saw i was able to remember how good it was the first time i saw it. a definite must see.

up

Night At The Roxbury

November 11, 1999

entertaining. slightly annoying at times, but has some good jokes and memorable moments.

up

American Beauty

November 4, 1999

USA  •  Mendes  •  1999

up there with fight club…funny, smart, good acting, good story…inspires like fight club and leaves you thinking.

up

Fargo

October 31, 1999

USA  •  Coen  •  1996

a great film…funny as possible…great acting and cinematography. very good. see it.

up

Planes, Trains, And Automobiles

October 26, 1999

USA  •  Hughes  •  1987

best comedy ever. there are some that make you laugh harder, slightly, and some that make you laugh more, slightly, but none that do both to this extent…every single time.

way up

Fight Club

October 25, 1999

USA  •  Fincher  •  1999

more proof that fincher is a good director. leaves you thinking…funny…great acting.

up

Other Sister

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Marshall  •  1999

Giovanni and Juliette Lewis prove they are good retards, but that’s a good thing in this case – thumbs .

up

Pi

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Aronofsky  •  1998

definitely one of a kind…well done…smart…just really good all around

up

Poetic Justice

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Singleton  •  1993

anything with Tupac is a must see, but singleton (boyz in the hood) failed on this movie – oh and janet jackson is a worse actress than she is a singer.

up -

Predator

February 23, 1999

USA  •  McTiernan  •  1987

for a long time it was my second favorite movie…of course i only owned about 5, but it stands the test of time. sfx are sufficient. arnold rocks. really is timeless…great one-liners…can’t say enough about it. see it.

up

Rounders

February 23, 1999

I hear it’s the best of the series, but i like IV more. still a good flick.

up

Time Bandits

February 23, 1999

fell asleep during it, but while I was awake it had some humor to it, even entertaining.

up

Very Bad Things

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Berg  •  1998

not as funny as expected, but it is quite a journey…check it out anyway.

up

When A Stranger Calls

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Walton  •  1979

your basic thriller, but gay. the sequel is way better…see that one.

down

10 Things I Hate About You

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Junger  •  1999

teenage flick, but has two hotties and actually has it’s good moments. not a total waste of time.

up

Amazon Women From The Moon

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Dante  •  1987

random, funny, much like airplane and other slapstick comedies.

up

Any Given Sunday

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Stone  •  1999

Oliver Stone rocks with this one. I knew right away it was going to be a great movie. It didn’t disappoint. Good message about sports, old vs. new, etc. Great camera work and acting. Lots of cameos too…look for mr. stone himself…some old football players (lt and brown among others) and t. owens of the 49ers.

up

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Roach  •  1999

one of the most witty comedies i’ve seen. really funny. great characters. as good as the first.

up

Blair Witch Project

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Myrick/Sanchez  •  1999

over-hyped…many believed it was real…i knew it wasn’t and was still happy with it. watch it and see for yourself. it’s funny and scary. independent films can rock.

up

Boogie Nights

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Anderson  •  1997

an absolute must see! the second best movie of the 90s, next to pulp fiction…maybe the second best ever…after die hard…excellent.

way up

Children Of The Corn

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Kiersh  •  1984

lame…shouldn’t have even tried…not scary…except maybe once.

down

Cube

February 23, 1999

Canada  •  Natali  •  1997

not the greatest film ever, but worth watching if you have nothing else to do…

up

Die Hard

February 23, 1999

USA  •  McTiernan  •  1988

more ‘classic’ lines than any movie ever, for me. all around great. one of the 5 best movies ever…without a doubt. most underrated film i can think of.

up

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Oz  •  1988

steve martin is gold.

up

Do The Right Thing

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Lee  •  1989

spike lee is a genius…even if I don’t understand everything he tries to say in his films I just accept that it’s genius. this film, however, leaves little to wonder about. strong, true, & great.

up

Dune

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Lynch  •  1984

boring, odd, nothing special…david lynch officially becomes an annoyance.

down

Election

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Payne  •  1999

one of the better films of the year…funny…witty…timeless. great all around…see it.

up

Evil Dead

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Raimi  •  1981

must see. if you are by yourself you may be scared, but it’s more of a comedy to see with friends…and what a crack up it is. very gross too.

up

Hard Eight

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Anderson  •  1996

obviously it’s a thumbs up…it’s p.t. anderson. not as good as magnolia or boogie nights, but still good. anderson is a really good writer and of course an excellent director…this movie shows him in top form.

up

Jerk

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Reiner  •  1979

up

Life

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Demme  •  1999

not too bad. good actors.

up

Matrix

February 23, 1999

USA  •  Wachowski  •  1999

good entertainment, even though there is the fact that keanu can’t act for shit. 1/05/00…the fourth time i saw it was the second best time. saw it on dvd and saw it was deeper than kung fu and SFX…e.g., the programmer’s speech about denying one’s impulses…the bad guy’s speech about humans being virii…obvious, but well put. oh and it’s a great action flick too.

up

Notting Hill

February 23, 1999

UK  •  Michell  •  1999

not a total waste of time…has its moments. roberts is hot. funny scenes are actually funny.
