My opinions on 1999 Movies
My friends keep bugging me to tell them what movies I liked this year. This is as good as it'll get. Sorry.
Yes, I know there's way too many "Top 10" and "Top 20" movies, but I
don't think there's anything I can do about it.
I'm only going to include 1999 releases on this page, so things like Shakespeare in Love and The Third Man will
not show up. (However, I am going to consider Rushmore a 1999 release.)
Please keep in mind that this page was last updated on 12/26/1999, that
it's all subject to change,
and that it's not an exact science.

Other, with comments
- Bringing out the Dead: Great whenever Patricia Arquette or her character's dad aren't on the screen, very slow otherwise
- Breakfast of Champions: Parts are stupid, and parts hilarious
- The Messenger: I really liked Dustin Hoffman, but the rest
was a little long and choppy
- Wild Wild West: Has one good line, Selma Hayek, and the
spider's cool but you can see it in the trailer
