It took me awhile before I actually saw The Matrix because I thought it looked dumb. But a friend borrowed it to me after I bought it for him for Christmas of 2000 and I actually enjoyed it, I was surprised. I haven't seen The Green Mile and don't want to, no matter how great people say it is. So, my vote is obviously for The Matrix.

I enjoyed GO (I'm not sure what I'd give it, probably an 8/10), but I "loved" ELECTION (10/10). ELECTION gets better and better with each viewing. It is amazingly acted, especially by Reese Witherspoon, who gives one of the best performances of all time in this movie. Not only is it one of the best films of 1999, it's also one of my favorite films of all time. My vote is definitely for ELECTION.

Stir Of Echoes was excellent and actually creepy. The Sixth Sense was "ok" but overrated. My vote easily goes to the underrated Stir Of Echoes. In my opinion, the wrong one was the big B.O. hit.

Oh god, this is so unfair. Poor Election up against The Matrix!? My vote definitely goes to the brilliant Election (10/10 or A+), it gets better with each viewing. The Matrix (7/10 or B-) was better than I expected it to be though, but still, it can't hold a candle to Election. Some of you who voted for The Matrix should be ashamed of yourself, especially the ones that loved Election as well. Your vote should have gone to Election out of sympathy because it's obvious The Matrix will win anyway ;). I'm definitely crossing my fingers for Election.
