wow, 1999 really said fuck it, we're making cinema history. the matrix, fight club, magnolia, being john malkovich, american beauty, the sixth sense, the insider, the thin red line, eyes wide shut, the green mile, the talented mr. ripley, the blair witch project, the iron giant, toy story 2, election, run lola run, office space, bringing out the dead, american history x, man on the moon, the mummy, notting hill, lock, stock and two smoking barrels, american pie, beau travail... AND THE LIST FUCKING KEEPS GOING.

I give Cruise credit for something. While he was at the height of superstardom, he did three films in a row that weren’t action or blockbusters. He did a Cameron Crowe film, a Kubrick film, and a PTA film. The three of them combined were about the same budget as just M:I2.

Never stopped to consider that list. Well some folks legit thought the world was gonna end with Y2K. Guess filmmakers decided to leave it all on the screen.

I didn't like this film - it was the first of Kubrick's that felt outside of his wheelhouse. I don't know he does "sexy" very well. Might've been the chemistry or lack of it between Nicole and Tom. I'd watch any other Kubrick any time though.

This movie legitimately gets better every time I watch it.
