IMDB's Movies of the day 1999

Wow, this is a REALLY weird list.

Not sure why it caught my attention, but this has to qualify as one of the most bonkers collection of movies assembled. Yes, there are some undeniable 'classics' in there and some fabulously well chosen populist gems, but some of them are just too hysterically obscure and unwarranted of attention even for ONE DAY that it you wonder what got them on the list.

• Uncommon Valour
  
• Once Bitten
  
• Nikita
  
• The Shining
  
• Omen III: The Final Conflict
  
• The Iron Giant
  
• Raiders of the Lost Ark
  
• The Commitments
  
• Heavy Metal
  
• Life is Beautiful (sorry, but I can't think of this without recalling this line: C.J.: Which would be fine if Roberto Benigni can vote in our elections, but since he's Italian, that makes me a six foot wet girl in a Donna Karan dress)

• 1999

I'd be amused to see which juxtapositions in this list draw your attention. Personally, it's hard to beat seeing the fabulous Metropolis next to the syrup-fest that was What Dreams May Come (even if the latter did use the wonderful images of John Martin: still, those pictures really only work in the flesh - large, overpowering and obsessively detailed).
