Chase&August:Ahhh! Yikes...apart from "The Mummy", your list of favorite films of 1999 looks very similar to my list of Least Favorite films of 1999.
Oh well. To each their own, I guess.

I didn't see as many as I would have liked in 1999, but of those I did here's what I liked:The Sixth Sense
The Iron Giant
Three Kings
Run Lola RunAmerican Beauty? Eh, it was alright. I don't know where all the overhyped praise is coming from... I want to see The Insider and Fight Club.
Speaking of Fight Club, since I see it on so many lists, what did everyone think of the "score" by the Dust Brothers? What is an influencing factor in making your Best Of list?
Perhaps this is a question for the General Topics?

The score to Fight Club is fantastic. It added that much needed eerie edge to the great film. I love th etechno the Dust Brothers pumped out, I own it, and listen to it all the time. A fantastic techno score. Cool yet "filmish"
