>>212743973 (OP)1999 is a weird year, it really was the pinnacle of film craft in terms of cinematography, miniatures, compositing, while the CGI is obviously more primitive, it usually holds up way better because it was used more sparingly and often had other effects (like a miniature or animatronic) that it needed to blend with for reference.
That being said so many films in 1999 made such a big deal about the new millennium that I think they should be assigned to the 2000s.
Either way 1994-2006 is probably the greatest period in cinema ever produced.
