The Mummy

 

[Pedro Negro]

Random as hell, but I remember seeing Blair Witch in the theater as a kid and that big brolic WWE wrestler Nicole Bass came in and sat in the row behind me.

I don’t know what was scarier, the movie or Nicole Bass.

The third Blair Witch was pretty bad, I was that in theaters in 2016

and had the what am I doing here expression about 2/3 of the running time

The Mummy was a really really great fun summer box office movie. Perfect blend of comedy, action, horror, suspense, etc. Watched that in theaters and was fully engaged if not edge of my seat throughout.That would be my pick.

Sixth Sense and Matrix i understood the hype and thought both were great but i wasn't as impressed as i was with the Mummy. Same with Fight Club.

Sidenotes: I actually watched American Beauty a year after it's debut, in school. I forget the class or why we were watching it but i remember enjoying the movie immensely. Especially the 3rd act. And while I don't care for the 'teen movie' genre, I did enjoy She's All That much more than American Pie.

Seeing The Sixth Sense in theaters was an incredible experience, the summer heat

Kind of an example of the kind of late 90's prosperity, the connectivity of movies, saw it with 4 friends, their Mom dropped us off and picked us up, but also an era where as a child,

I didn't know genre conventions yet, and watched movies as forming experiences, I never knew what to expect, just captivated by plot and the unpredictability of cinema. The Mummy was fun to me also, but the sharper edges of Sixth Sense, the quiet sadness of Willis, the ghosts, the hanging, the menace, of course the twist, Donnie Walhberg's unsettling intro.

note: I also purchased Memphis Bleek debut at 13 years old that same day lol

I know its far from the best on the list, but something about American Pie and being 16 in '99 that just felt like that movie hit home. Being young and trying to figure out life and the balance of friends and growing up and dating.

Cruel Intentions
Fight Club
Matrix

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

More than half them movies hot garbage


The answer Fight Club tho

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Definitely the Matrix.

Was gonna say 6th Sense at first before I read a few posts.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

The Blair Witch Project underrated AF imo

Didn't literally start the found footage motif, but as far as mainstream so many hollywood movies have done it because of the influence of Blair Witch.

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

damn I forgot about The Mummy. That was one of the GOAT theater experiences as a kid.

Sixth Sense too. That ending had the whole audience

The Matrix
