Best Picture of 1999


The Winner: American Beauty.

The Other Nominees: The Cider House Rules, The Green Mile, The Insider, and The Sixth Sense.

My Choice: American Beauty. Three of the other nominees are worthy contenders; the exception is, of course, The Cider House Rules. I'd give a close second to The Sixth Sense, which is expertly crafted, but American Beauty is the greatest overall achievement in filmmaking among this group.
