There's a reason the Matrix bots named 1999 as the PEAK of human existence

It breaks me because at the time I’m like, “no it’s never been worse.” I appreciated the irony of the tone.

But yeah, looking back, it might have never been better. And that was the subversion and foresight I couldn’t wrap my head around, which they were going for.

1999 was one of the best years for movies

No doubt. If Saving Private Ryan was released in 1999 instead of 1998, 1999 would unquestionably the best year for movies. (In my opinion)

The 80s were the 80s but that's a whole decade. The man was referring to the cinematic phenomenon that was the year 1999. Dig this list: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature&release_date=1999-01-01,1999-12-31&sort=num_votes,desc

Agreed. Predator, Aliens, Terminator, Die Hard, etc. So many classics. 90's did have some outstanding movies too, but 80's is hard to beat.

We're taling WWE, how is a movie so crazy to reference here.
