1999's Best Movies: 20 Years Later

fuck Magnolia forever

“And on and on” also describes the experience of watching Magnolia

truer words have never before been written, that movie goes on for approximately 584 years

Magnolia is like Short Cuts performed by the camp counselors in Wet Hot American Summer (that’s not entirely a dis but one viewing was more than enough...)

conversely "Being John Malkovich" was amazing and it's kind of dumb that I've only watched that movie once

it is def a plausible choice for #1, at least for US films

What is with all these media outlets’ nostalgia for 1999 all of a sudden??? This is getting ridiculous.

also Ripley is a Highsmith thriller turned into The Andrew Cunanan Story for liberal himophobes

'99 produced more original, worthwhile Hollywood-made films than any year since, Snrub

Also it’s 20 years ago!

Yet I've got gay film critics who aver it's better than Purple Noon. It's got a lot of bad, notably whenever Minghella, frightened by the material, gives Ripley "motivation," but its brittleness is its charm too.

Minghella was always a hacketty hack tbftll

what a great year. the wind will carry us should have been higher, same with eyes wide shut.

i'm curious about sicilia!. straub-huillet movies are still hard to track down outside of new york-la.

like most directors

Well yes it's barely a criticism but his oeuvre feels exceptionally white bread
