Most film buffs always point out that 1939 was the greatest year for movies. There is no doubting that. With classics like The Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Stagecoach, Wuthering Heights and much more, 1939 was a great year in cinema. Then in 1999 a new brand of movie broke through. I believe that 1999 was the best year in modern Movies. Think about what come out then that has influenced today's standards. Nothing can beat the classic, but American Beauty, Being John Malkovich, The Blair Witch Project, Fight Club, The Insider, Magnolia, The Matrix, and The Sixth Sense come real close. Looking back at this list you have to marvel that we were being entertained on the next level. Studios didn't have to cram everything into a 3-D market arena, and word of mouth was what sometimes got you to the movies. Here is hoping that 2049 brings us something good.
