So iTunes has different sales every week, and this week happens to be movies from 1999 and...wow.
The incomplete list:
- The Sixth Sense
- Fight Club
- Eyes Wide Shut
- The Matrix
- The Hurricane
- Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
- Being John Malkovich
- Run Lola Run
- American Beauty
- Magnolia
- Man on the Moon
-The Talented Mr Ripley
- The Virgin Suicides
- Boys Don't Cry
And that doesn't include some of the more mainstream entries like Notting Hill, Three Kings, Galaxy Quest, and Austin Powers. Has there been another year in the last 20-30 years with this many critically acclaimed releases?
Only one that seems competitive off the top of my head is 1994, which had maybe a better top of the list (Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, The Professional, Forrest Gump, The Usual Suspects) but not the depth.
