These are my ten favorite films from 1999. Duh. This list could change as I catch up on films I wanted to see from 1999 but missed. Then again, perhaps not.
In general, films eligible for this list are films less than three years old that were released in New York or Los Angeles during this year -- in general, films eligible for 1999's Academy Awards.
The red number is the number of times I've seen the film.
1. Magnolia (P.T. Anderson) A (3)
2. Rosetta (Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne) A (1)
3. After Life (Hirokazu Koreeda) A- [high] (1)
