1999: Greatest year for movies (36 comments)

( Forum: OT)

Posted by cyronix @ 15:55 CDT, 19 May 2019 - iMsg

Movies released in 1999:

- Matrix
- Fight club
- American beauty
- Sixth sense
- The talented Mr. Ripley
- Magnolia

Others also find these films good:
Blair witch project, Being John Malkovich, American Pie, Sleepy Hollow, Cruel Intentions

A good article on this:
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jan/10/...ern-cinema

I mean compare that to the top film releases in 2018,
Avengers, Antman, Deadpool, Black Panther, The Incredibles, Spiderman, Mission Impossible 6, Aquaman, Venom

A guess public taste has changed :-)

1999 in films almost like 1996 in gaming:
Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Diablo, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Resident Evil, C&C Red Alert, Master of Orion 2

Haven't watched a movie since Deadpool which was some years ago, Hollywood's turned into too much of a pussy with the same old shite regurgitated.

I think there are better years in cinema for sure, 1994, 1993, 1986 to name a few, for me. You're right about 1996 for games though, although to be honest 1992-1999 was just one big uninterrupted golden age for gaming.

You are right about 1994 man!
So many great movies that year!

- Pulp Fiction
- Speed
- The mask
- Interview with a vampire
- Crow
- Leon the professional
- True Lies
- Lion King
- Forrest Gump
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Ace ventura
- Dumb and dumber

1994 also a good year in games ...
Super Metroid
Donkey Kong Country
U.F.O.
System Shock

1998 also strong
Half Life
Starcraft
Zelda Ocarina of Time
Baldurs Gate

Still prefer 1996 though :-)

Doom 2 is good, but it is more of a big Doom 1 map pack plus one supershotgun.

Still better than a lot of other games. I preferred it to Doom 1.

I think black panther is the worst movie I ever saw, but then I tried to watch one of the new spider man movies and it just turned to a point where I repeated myself with "it can't get worse than this" and so it did. I think I managed halfway through before I turned it off.

99' was awesome but you don't seem to watch many good films if that's the case.

The only film in there worth watching is the condition-breaking Fight Club. The rest of it is trash. Disregard all Hollywood media and read books.

Even the Matrix? Not hating, I respect your opinion. Just curious as to your reasoning, it's interesting to see other people's perspectives.

I much prefer books myself, but you didn't like American Beauty? I'll admit it kind of jerked itself off with pseudo intellectual bullshit but I still thought it was pretty damn enjoyable.

early to mid 2000�s had some great movies aswell.

"blow" is one of my favorite movies

"butterfly effect" the first one with ashton kutcher was a good movie too, it was well thought out.. 2 and 3 were trash tho.

older movies had storylines and soul, this idiot michael bay is an absolute retard with his transformer garbage

movies really went to shit sometime around mid 2000s. A rare few good movies come out every year since then.

The 90s and late 90s in particular we were on the precipice of a new Enlightenment era until it all changed after 9/11. The hippy generation and liberal media elite made PC culture their new religion

1982 - Blade Runner
1984 - Die Hard
1988 - Terminator 1
1991 - Terminator 2 (one of the few movies where the 2nd beats the 1st movie)

For sure these are no eras but I still prefer watching those from time to time, instead of watching that 2019 Hollywood crap.

Also think about the Rocky movies ... as far as I remember they are from the 70s ....

1984 - 1984 (Film based on George Orwell's Book)

1971 - A Clockwork Orange

Two perspective changing films and then it went down hill after there.

Books > Movies though.

Basically everything was good before libtards, facebook and smart phones came along and reminded you 24/7 that you're stuck on a planet which is mostly full of c***s.

Only thing I can't stand is going on a date with a young woman who's constantly on her smartphone, done it twice in 6 months, won't do it ever again unless she's a really conservative girl, ended up getting up and leaving and telling the waiter that she can pay because she's a feminist.

Older women for me.
