Chasing Amy and Mallrats I really, really like.

I’d say check it out just to see another side to Smith.

@Mike

Galaxy Quest is just awesome, I still watch it every now and then, it’s a great movie.

@Mike
Thanks, for the updated list – ’99 WAS a good year for movies, wasn’t it? And I *love* Galaxy Quest.

Vic

Thanks so much for reminding me about several other movies from 1999…

Galaxy Quest — I took my niece to see that movie, and both of us had a great time.
Any Given Sunday — kinda long, but still a good sports movie (and I don’t normally watch sports movies).
Bowfinger — incredibly silly, but still fun, for a lot of reasons.
Bicentennial Man — yeah, it was sappy sci-fi, but what can I say … I love Robin Williams and he was very good in this one.
10 Things I Hate About You — I don’t normally sit through “teen”-oriented movies (my niece insisted on going to see this one), but this one was sheer fun from start to finish.
Toy Story 2 — I loved this movie. Fun for kids and grownups alike.
South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut — not for everyone, I grant you, but it was sharp, smart and hysterically funny.
The Sixth Sense — a truly frightening ghost story. Sorry the rest of Shyamalan’s movies don’t seem to be living up to such an impressive debut.

1999 … definitely a very GOOD year for movies. Makes me wonder if we’ll have a movie year similar to 1999 in this decade?

Remember this is only an opinion and i realize my list is pretty long but I am very passionate about what a good year 1999 was in movies!!!

All in all, 1999 wasn’t a bad year for movies.

Yeah,just like any other year,there were some good movies to come out,and then there were some real stinkers.

Actually Chasing Amy is usually seen as one of his good films. May I ask what you think of the critically panned Jersey Girl?

And you should like Dogma, it was made by a Christian. Smith’s always been very open about his beliefs (he’s actually been pretty open about most of his personal life… I love his Q&A’s but I really didn’t need to know about his anal fissure) and Dogma was actually a sort of therapy for him during a time when he was questioning his faith. And it does sort of put a few things in perspective. At the time of watching I myself was fairly religious and it helped me out a lot (despite now being mostly agnostic).

And I actually really liked Dogma, but then it takes people differently.
