Do you know how many awesome movies were released in 1999?<\/p>\n

Thanks to a recent Mashable article<\/a> about Napster’s ’99 release, I discovered that 1999 was a pretty damn good year for cinema. I looked online and put together this list of some of my favourite ’99 films.<\/p>\n

Which were your favourites?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Austin<\/a> \"Being<\/a> \"The<\/a> \"The<\/a> \"Cruel<\/a> \"Fight<\/a> \"The<\/a> \"The<\/a> \"Star<\/a> \"The<\/a> \"The<\/a> \"Toy<\/a> \"The<\/a> \"10<\/a> \"American<\/a> \"American<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My\u00a0favourite? Hmmmm… Fight Club <\/strong>was phenomenal, but so was The Matrix<\/strong>. Both films which\u00a0twisted my brain and made me rethink what I knew about cinema. The Green Mile<\/strong> made my cry like few other films have before, and to this day I still totally adore the Cruel Intentions<\/strong> OST.<\/p>\n

But if\u00a0\u00a0I really had to\u00a0to pick just one, I’d probably have to choose\u00a010 Things I Hate About You<\/strong>. The character of Kat really spoke to my 18\/19 yr old self as I was in a serious transitional phase in my development and growing into my own skin.\u00a0This was the first movie I ever watched more than once in the cinema; there have been others after it, but this was the first. Julia Stiles<\/a> was amazing as Kat, and really connected with my own rebellion against society at the time, and I really wanted to “not give a shit” like her (though we know that’s not actually true). It was in this film that I also developed a massive crush on Heath Ledger<\/a>, and was gutted\u00a0when he passed. Some of the young actors from this film took there careers to wonderful new heights after it. Joseph Gordon-Levitt<\/a> was amazing in (500) Days of Summer<\/a>, and of course Inception<\/a>, and well, Heath… there will never be another Batman villain so sinister as Heath as The Joker in The Dark Knight<\/a>. So yes, it was a teen movie, but I was actually a teen back then, and I LOVED this movie. If ever I see it on TV when channel surfing I will always watch it over again, as for me it’s still just as good now as it was back then. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
