Best. Movie. Year. Ever.
Fight Club. The Matrix. Eyes Wide Shut. American Beauty. Magnolia. Toy Story 2. Office Space. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The Iron Giant. The Virgin Suicides. Apart from being cultural touchstones, all these movies share something else in common: they came out the same year. Best. Movie. Year. Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen takes a dive into this transformative year in cinema, with help from the people responsible. Penned by Wired scribe Brian Raftery, it features more than 130 new and exclusive interviews with the likes of Steven Soderbergh, Edward Norton, Sofia Coppola, David Fincher, Kirsten Dunst, the Office Space guys, and many others, compiled into a tale that tells not just of the films' productions but their lasting cultural impacts.
