Films of 1999
1999 was the most spiritual year of its era.
Across 181 well-known films, 1999 reads higher on spirituality than the decade around it — 28.7 against 24.5, a gap of 4.2. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
