Lupe's honorable mentions of 1999

These first three could easily have been in the top 20 if there weren't already twenty great movies ahead of them.

Bowfinger (comedy)
A gripping allegory about how Randy Quaid got his big break.  Also, Laker girls!

Dick (comedy)
The true story of Watergate is way boringer than this.

Toy Story 2 (animated, comedy)
Seeing toys talk is like watching dogs play poker.  It's AWESOME!


The rest of these really only deserve to be runners up.

The Blair Witch Project (horror)
Who knew so many people could get so much motion sickness?

Bringing Out The Dead (drama)
Nic Cage stars as a ham sandwich in search of a story.

Dogma (comedy)
It's got a poo monster.

Girl, Interrupted (drama)
If I remember right, the Angelina Jolie nudity was in Pushing Tin (also '99).

The Green Mile (drama)
Made me pray I never get a urinary tract infection.

Man on the Moon (drama)
Jim Carrey's tour de force earned him a little Foghat at the MTV movie awards.

The Sixth Sense (suspense)
Great, until you realize the ghosts can be beaten with water.

Sleepy Hollow (fable)
The little kid in this totally gets what's coming to him.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (adventure)
This movie would be completely forgettable if it weren't for Jar Jar.
