  1. Ohh the lack of American Beauty sucks :( Also I can't be the only one who thinks Ripley is the Minghella film that shoulda got all the Oscar gold? English Patient is such a nothing of a film to me lol

    1. I like American Beauty, but I also think this is the greatest year for film, so it got several snubs. Ripley is my favorite Minghella film, though I do still like EP.

  2. My favourite film of 1999 is Claire Denis’ “Beau Travail”.
