Vincent D'Onofrio Totally Owns This Weird R-Rated Sci-Fi Mystery That Came Out the Same Year as 'The Matrix'
The same year as The Matrix, the odd sci-fi The Thirteenth Floor starring Vincent D'Onofrio attempted to make an impact on the genre.

1999 is one of the greatest years in film history, with a shocking number of movies released that were either monumental artistic achievements or culturally significant turning points, including The Blair Witch Project, Election, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and The Sixth Sense. As wild a claim as it might be to pick just one, I'd argue that The Matrix stands above the rest as the most accomplished and truly important film released that year.
