Seen 34 of 57, a decent amount of them in the theater.

I specifically remember going to see Any Given Sunday and feeling cross eyed by the end of it, describing it as “Blair Witch on a football field.”


I’ve had the opportunity to see a number of other ones on the list and passed. The Hurricane in particular comes to mind because they played WAY too fast and loose with facts on a true story for me to even want to watch it.

That’s a crazy good year for movies. And so many original ideas that were successful. Hollywood has fallen so far

What a turn around for Hollywood. There are fewer bad movies in that list then there were good movies release this year.

The 1999 movies blow out the 2023/2024 movies. Almost all movies now suck major fricking arse.

Never felt so old than when I did a rewatch of American Beauty last year. Kevin Spacey’s character is having his mid-life crisis at 43 while I am 44.

Always liked Three Kings. Doesn't seem to get much play these days.

There genuinely aren't 5 quality films made per year now and just as recent as 1999, there were basically 60 extremely high quality and enjoyable and wide-varying genre pictures for anyone and everyone.

You used to be able to go see a movie basically every weekend and see something new. Simply incredible how much this industry has catered.

It has a weird mix of things playing against it.

The biggest single one is likely that the second Gulf War makes a heist movie using the first war as a backdrop kinda hard to watch.


Combine that with other things like the director, David O Russell, being a legendary a-hole (go find the behind the scenes stuff between him and Lily Tomlin from I Heat Huckabees, for example) and it tends to slip through the cracks.
