This past week on my Best Picture Quest I watched American Beauty. 1999 was one of my favorite years especially for movies. It was also the first year that I actually made a Top 10 list. I was trying to find the original list but didn’t. But here is my Top 5 movies from 1999 which I am pretty sure is very close to my original list.
1. The Matrix-One of the most original movies I have ever seen. Completely blew me away with the stunning visuals and crazy fight scenes.
2. Fight Club- Violent and gruesome. Also a cool ending that I didn’t see coming.
3. The Sixth Sense-Talk about endings I didn’t see coming. This movie was a complete surprise.
4. Boys Don’t Cry-Never heard of Hilary Swank before this movie but it was a great movie made even more stunning by the fact it was based on true events.
5. American Beauty- Something about this movie really spoke to me. The dark story and superb acting made it one of the best of 1999 even if my dad hated it.
Like I said there were a lot of movies that year that I loved so here are a few others that didn’t quite make the top 5.
10 Things I Hate about You, The Blair Witch Project, Cruel Intentions, Dogma, The Mummy, and Galaxy Quest.
