   Was 1999 a good year?

   • For one thing, that’s the kind of year 1999 was: a lot of everything. It’s almost a reflex now, to claim it was just about the greatest class of movies there ever was. Brian Raftery called his breathlessly chummy history of 1999 “Best. Movie. Year. Ever.”

   Why is 1999 a good year for movies?

   • Every year has good films, but a combination of factors — studio appetite for risks, the rise of some daring young directors, and the happy serendipity of a lot of people just making a good movie that year — led to one point: a year that was uncommonly good for movies. The Blair Witch Project changed the movie marketing game in 1999.

   What does 'great' mean in 1999?

   • “Great,” in 1999, denotes range, volume, abundance, deluge. It’s quality capturing quantity: a megalopolis skyline as opposed to a mountain range. Twenty-five years later, 1999 is known for being the year of Shyamalan’s movie, of “Blair Witch” and “American Beauty,” which came out in September and went on, somehow, to win the best picture Oscar.

   Was 1999 a great year for cinema?

   • There’s no getting around 1999 as a great year for cinema, but to call it the last great year is to deny the great progress and radical changes that the industry has undergone since. When we talk about 1999 in cinema, we talk largely about a canon of films made predominantly by white, male, middle- or upper-class US directors.

   Was 1999 the best year for original movies in Hollywood?

   • There’s a good argument to be made that 1999 was indeed the best year for original movies in Hollywood – especially in our current vacuum of brave new ideas at the movies (of the top 10 grossing films of 2019 so far, the Jordan Peele horror Us is the only original screenplay not based on an existing intellectual property).

   Was 1999 a good year for gambling?

   • 1999 was one of the last years in which nobody totally knew what might happen when you put a movie out. We didn’t know what we wanted. We were as much in the habit of being curious as being marketed to. It was the last of the riskiest years. And maybe all of that gambling was bad business.
