First thing’s first, younger execs with interesting taste need to be running studios again. As has been reported in The Ankler and elsewhere, Hollywood has become a gerontocracy

Yah when you look at that list, you see that you couldn’t possibly be greenlighting those movies and be risk-averse at the same time

An incredible year. Other movies from '99 that didn’t make the list, but are also superb (and in some cases considered game-changers in their genre):

The Sixth Sense, The Matrix, Eyes Wide Shut, Galaxy Quest, Office Space, Notting Hill, Election, The Limey, Run Lola Run, Blair Witch Project, and Fight Club.

Surprise...not one sequel or remake.
