That’s because movies are formulaic market tested garbage now. The Green Mile, Toy Story 2 & galaxy quest were in theaters at the same time as the talented Mr Ripley. The matrix, 6th sense, American Beauty and Fight Club came out earlier that year.
I remember the movie being better than the 13th warrior but not as good as the Iron Giant from the same year.
I can't remember what year but I remember watching Shawkshank Redemption with a friend and then being like "did this movie win an Oscar?" And I don't think it was even nominated and I was like how?
Then go look at every movie that year. Might have been the best year of cinema history of all time.
