1999: last great year of cinema

90% of these are just popcorn-entertainment movies

 

76 was stronger than 77.

Taxi Driver
Network
Rocky
The Omen
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Carrie
All the President's Men
Marathon Man

That lineup alone shits on 77.

 

Those are a bit too intellectual for the likes of Panchy aka Mr. "I does not loved this movie but it is still good. 9/10"

 

That´s a great list from a fuckin great year, regardless of movies.

I´d even add the likes of
The Shootist
The Bad News Bears
Silver Streak
Assault On Precinct 13

In fact, 1976 was probably the last year for great movies before merchandise tie-ins became the norm for movies.

 

So?

 

"9.5/10"motherfucker!

 

So you don't know what you're talking about.

 

isn't the thread about the LAST great year? o_O

it could be 2007...definitely somewhere between 2007 and 2009

 

Yes, it is.

1999.

 

There isn't really a standout in 99. A lot of very good movies, but not a damn one that I'd consider a masterpiece.

07 had two masterpieces.

 

yeh, 1999 isn't even really far better than 2000

 

There doesn´t need to be a standout, otherwise 1977 would be greatest evah with Star Wars.

 

Shits on it.

 

not at all...they're pretty close, but 1999 is slightly better

1999:
Matrix - fag nerd shit
Fight Club - an ok movie, good for a one time watch
Being John Malkovich - best movie of the year
The Sixth Sense - good to watch once

what else?


2000:
Snatch - gold
American Psycho - gold dust
Memento - decent
Requim for a Dream - decent
Traffic - decent
Unbreakable - same shit as sixth sense

 

I agree The Matrix is fag nerd shit.
Magnolia is a masterpiece
Fight Club is awesome
Eyes Wide Shut is a masterpiece - only a lot of people didn´t (not surprisingly) get it
Election is a brilliant black-comedy
Galaxy Quest - forgot about this very underated comedy
Being John Malkovich - already noted
The Talented Mr Ripley - awesome cast

Funnily enough, the ones I didn´t like - The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense, American Beauty - a lot of people loved.

 

so basically you're easily duped by any mainstream article

 

What X said^

 

2007 also had
Superbad
Hot Fuzz
3:10 to Yuma
Shooter
Sunshine

 

Id say 1999 was maybe slightly better but not by very much

 

Talented Mr. Ripley is an excellent movie. Definitely a top 5 of 99.

I've never seen Election. I should make it a point to watch it this week.

 

Shooter? The one with Marky Mark? That movie was GARBAGE!

Sunshine was good - very underrated sci-fi flick.

 

I can't consider Magnolia a masterpiece.

In fact, I don't even think it's a top 3 Paul Thomas Anderson film.

There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, and The Master were all better than Magnolia.

 

Election is excellent.

 

99 does have a lot of good ones

 

95 beats 99:

Heat
Se7en
The Usual Suspects
12 Monkeys
Dead Man Walking
Leaving Las Vegas
Casino
Braveheart
Crimson Tide
The Basketball Diaries
Apollo 13
Clueless
Strange Days

 

is it? i thought i remember liking it
scratch that then

 

Agreed on this.

 

oo you called him ´Marky Mark´, oo

 

i don't get why you homos are bringing up random years prior to 1999 when the thread is about the LAST great year o_O

 

Right?
