Films seen 1999
Here are all the films I've seen this year. Older films that I saw for the first time and festival films that (to the best of my knowledge) have no distribution are listed in black; films that I'd seen previously are in gray; films elegible for my 1998 top 10 list are in purple; and films eligible for my 1999 top 10 list are in green. A '*' indicates that I saw the film on video, a '°', on a video projection system, and an 's' denotes a short (less than 45 minutes long) film.
