Best Of 1999

"You know what I like best about Christmas? The surprises. I mean, it's like you get this box, and you're sure you know what's inside of it... But then you open it up and it's completely different. You know, wow, bang, surprise!... it's kind of like me and you here... this time yesterday, who would have thunk it?" -Claire Montgomery

Judging from the horrible poster, you mightn't watch to watch this but you really should. Claire's theory on surprises also applies to this film as it's quite simply, one of the funniest movie of all time! Go has alot of my personal favourites; my favourite movie title, my favourite opening sequence, my favourite soundtrack, my favourite last line in a movie, the list go on..... The characters are potrayed so well. Everyone has their favourite character. I've spent ages thinking about the small details of this movie. If the MTV generation did anything right, it spawned this movie. In my opinion, it's the most underrated film of our time. Everyone go out and buy it. It's Pulp Fiction meets Dazed & Confused on ecstacy, what's not to like?Nothing, it's perfect.

?Help me, Lola! I don't know what to do!? -Manni

One of my all time favourites, I loved everything about it. The adrenaline rush, the pulsing techno, the partly animated segments, the multi-scenarios, the complete weirdness of it all. One woman's race against time to save her doomed lover. The idea of living the same moments over and over again if they don't turn out the way you have planned. Tykwer does at good job at directing & I love the hopeful ending. It made me think long after viewing. Referenced in everything from The Simpsons to Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Everyone should see this movie.

"But in the end, isn't it always the same question and always the same answer?"

"Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in." -Ricky Fitts

Amazing.

The ultimate mind-fuck! One of the best 90s movies around.

1999 is my favourite year for film, out of the many blockbusters came this Independant movie. Gained attention from a unknown Hilary Swank winning an Oscar. Swank's performance feels so real. The best female performance I have ever seen. A well desevred Oscar Win. Chloe Sevigny gives yet another amazing performance (As usual) although it doesn't match up to Swank's. It's an extremely disturbing movie with its graphic rape scene so it's not for everyone. But most would find the film overall to be moving & emotional. Sad ending. Independant Film at its best. Worth a look.

A spetacular movie ruined by its dull sequels.
