Fewer films seen this year. Fewer films demanding to be seen this year. As always, tough to get those year-end films in and I won't see many of those oscar-nominated "Prestige Films" until they get in wider release after the first of the year 2000. Nonetheless, a pretty solid top ten with some worthy movies. All in the top 13 are worth seeing!
Here's the 69 films I saw during the year of 1999, ranked from best to worth, with hold-overs from 1998 lumped at the bottom of the list!
