RE: "This is a bad movie nomination list. I remember it was bad the year "American Beauty" won as well."


Correctemundo. 1999 was such a great year for the movies (the last great year to date, in fact), and the Oscar picks for Best Picture were so wrongheaded that year that I created a kind of "shadow" list of personal faves that were better than the actual nominees.

The actual BP nominees of '99 were:

American Beauty
The Insider
The Green Mile
The Sixth Sense
The Cider House Rules

Lousy list, overall. A far more satisfying and diverse list of great movies that year would have been:

The Sixth Sense
Magnolia
Being John Malkovich
Fight Club
Toy Story 2

I would add Election, Eyes Wide Shut, South Park:BLAU, Go, Topsy Turvy, three Kings. Now that WAS a great year. Have never liked Being John Malkovich though. Clearly in a minority.

Even worse than the year "Chicago" won?

I guess not all were stinkers in 99'. The Green Mile was ok and the 6th Sense should have won.
