I watched it again last night for the fifth time in two months.
It was one of '99s best reviewed movie and was thrown around for oscar noms like Ledgers shitty performance in TDK. Yet it somehow died after the year 1999, even though it had plot twists and connectivity that would make Quentin Tarantino look like a poor imitator of Quentin Tarantino (Guy Ritchie). Plus it had amazing music and great cinematography.
If you guys have never seen it, do yourself a favor and see it.
Plus it stars Timothy Olyphant and Katie Holmes when they were young and nubile and hot.
You can watch the trailer here (http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/176043/Go/trailers)
RT Page (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1087053-go/)
Plus it was one of the first movies to show homosexuality in high school / college culture.
Discuss the best movie out of 99 that isn't the Matrix.
-
Best Acting for Mr. Olyphant
Best Picture
Were some of the ones thrown around.
And maybe the plot twists weren't that good, but the way the story intertwined was - I thought - better than what Tarantino could do.
-
I don't remember which one at the time.
What I do remember was when that one old hag won that best supporting actress or maybe even best actress for like two minutes of screen time.
-
Go was fun but no way is it 'best movie' of anything.
Unless it's the best movie where Jay Mohr and Scott Wolf fuck each other in the ass.
Just knowing that Pulp Fiction came out the same decade obviously makes Go a red-headed step child.
-
Not really, PF was a totally different genre, they just shared tactics. Plus the music and accuracy of the rave culture and excellent cinematography is what paved GO to be a great 90's movie.
-
I dont want to live in a world where Go can be considered better than Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Se7en, Glengarry Glen Ross, 12 Monkeys, etc.
-
A different genre, sure, but it's style is what made Pulp Fiction great, and that's exactly what Go amped from it.
Anyway, the topic is best movie of the 90's and clearly Go isn't it.
I do like to see a Go appreciation topic, though, I quite enjoyed it.
-
Oh my bad guys, I meant to say best movie of the 99s in the title like I did in the thread. :(
I may be dumb but im not dumb enough to say Go is better than Goodfellas and Casino.

That's not Dances With Wolves.
-
Or Eyes Wide Shut
Okay, EWS is terrible.
-
You mean?

Wasn't a big fan of Go but the soundtrack was pretty good.
-
Compare the awesomeness of 90s movie making to all the shit that's been released in 00s.
-
For one, Scorcese still made good films.

Go was a decent, fun movie but it didn't accurately portray the party scene for shit.

* EDIT: OWND by 1 year.
Doesn't matter, it's still better than anything from the 90's.
-
You people are all philistines. American Beauty good? Eyes Wide Shut bad?
Anyway, the best movie of the 90s is this:

Unforgiven is no Forest Gump.

I wish you dumbass distinguished mentally-challenged fellows would read the thread and learn that I made a typo and this was supposed to be a Go appreciation thread and also a thread about the year 99 in movies and not 90s movie appreciation post.

True. :'(

The Dark Knight is better.

No I think he means more like this

T2 , Titanic and Pulp Fiction
merely pointing out popular movies

You mean there are people that actually liked Go?

I think it's a pretty fun movie, but it's nothing I'd put on regular rotation.

So edit the title you stupid cool young dude
-
wtf, Speed is way better than go
-
Not only is Go not the best movie of the 90's...
Not only is it not the best movie of '99...
It isn't even the best movie about raves n' ecstasy that came out that year. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0188674/)
pwned lol

Oh ye of little faith. C'mon, I'm not Himu-chan...
TVC- yah I know.
-
human traffic is dated as`all hell now though
-
i didn't like the ending
i found it to be a bit "meh"
-
I was trying to think if there have ever been any really good movies about the party scene/raves, but Withnail and I keeps popping into my head for some reason. ???
Human traffic was pretty good, but a little too emo, and they really just went clubbing. Groove was LOL.
-
:bow withnail and i :bow2

I think we all know that this was the best movie of '99.
-
That movie is pretty great. It's kinda depressing though.
-
I don't know. He was able to release his movie on DVD, so that's a positive. But someone needs to drag Mike Shank around to every public school out there and show kids what drugs can do to a human brain.
-
You fucktard Human Traffic was 2000 and Go was 1999.
-
You fucktard Human Traffic was 2000 and Go was 1999.
sorry human traffic was 1999 in the UK, 2000 in the us
winning an argument on a technicality and a British one at that? jolly good show :tophat
-
its because the film was very 'trendy' and of-it's-time. Does not age well. I remember watching it again in 2003-4 and it was already embarrasing
-
Unlike Go which still holds up extremely well (besides Rave culture being kinda dead in the US)
-
go was corny as fuck. real talk.
-
Please back up your points about Go being corny.
-
Easy.
Pulp Fiction.
-
Easy.
Pulp Fiction.
Easy like you failing to read the thread
-

No, it really is the best.
-
Not on 99

-
I'm sorry, I'm dyslexic. I though that said 90's.
The Matrix. Easy.
-
No offense TVC, but I think you're in the lone group of about 5 people who think that movie is good let alone decent.
-
"The best movie of the 99s?" This was your edit? What's the "s" for? Are we including 1899? Because then I pick Cendrillon, a 1899 French short.
-
Technically speaking, 99 is actually December 3198 -December 31 99 sooooooooo
-
why does it have to be 99
isn't that kind of a distinguished mentally-challenged number
-
Because Go came out in 99 and this was a go appreciation topic.
If you want to discuss movies in 90's, use your new post making ability and make a Best movie of the 90's post
-

Lots of people like it. It's my favorite Kubrick film. It's an excellent film.

I like the scene when they're dressed up in costumes and walk down that long hallway through the rooms with all the fucking, but it in no way combats Clockwork to me.
But I hated 2001, so my opinion prob sucks
-
The thread fails because this movie came out in 1999:

Italian Job is good but Half Baked is one of the most try hard attempts at comedy ever. All the 'jokes' are based the 'fact' that a guy smoking pot is inherently hilarious

You got that right. Thread should be renamed "one of the top 50 or so movies of 1999".

And the best Tim Burton movie...

basically there was like one good movie released every single week in '99 that was better that Go.

if you'll notice those films are confined to one year
one year which didn't see the release of Pulp Fiction
-
motherfucking fail
-
Wait, people don't like Fight Club? ???
-
movie tries to be too smart. Smart people feel attacked and nerd out at it and end up hating it.
-
motherfucking fail
yes but once more we're willing to overlook your failings.

we as in icons or feggits?

poor dearies. you didn't ask to be like this
you just ARE.

yes, forum members. You speak for everyone. Clearly a case of an elitist homo, or just a homo like the second choice was.

OST is more awesome than the OMP
-

Fight Club? Really? Fight Club was fucking brilliant.
-

The Thomas Crown Affair remake was great. Best Bond movie Brosnan ever did.
-
i agree with that. i hope the sequel's atleast as good.
and i don't know a single person who hates fight club. i've seen that movie so many times now. it's hilarious and crazy, and pitt's body inspired me to start working out. :bow2
-
this thread is an eb embarrassment
The fact that the OP can even create threads is an embarrassment.
-
I haven't read this whole thread, but Go is goofy and dumb, it's like the 21 of the 99s
-
i agree with that. i hope the sequel's atleast as good.
Verhoeven is directing this one, so it should be a great follow-up to McTiernan's 1999 part one.
-
OP is trickier than a SAT question smh
.
-
lol this thread is about movies that came out in 99 you're so black lmao!
-
Go has a 91% on RT. That makes it exactly the 20th top rated movie of 99.
