CLUAS 1999 Readers' Poll !!!
The Films Results
Don't do the tragic-bore thing that we did (that is, try and work out how many hours in the last year you sat in cinema auditoriums staring a big white rectangular piece of material lit up with moving splashes of coloured light). It gets a bit depressing and is a sure sign you've lost it. Instead check out the results below for the cinema categories in the CLUAS.com Readers' Poll. Enlightening stuff. Almost.
Best Film of '99 |

1 The Matrix |
 Nope,
there was not a doubt for the CLUAS end-of-year movie dinner-party. Bullet-stopping
babes in latex cat suits made the Plat du Jour. Nonetheless
'The Phantom Menace' gate-crashed for dessert
while 'Something about Mary' gained admittance at the 11th hour for an after-dinner
mint. |

Most Disappointing Film of '99 |

1 The Phantom Menace |
 Oooooh.
Clear first and second place here. Kubrick's last movie found few fans out there
among the CLUAS constituency. The real surprise though is 'GO'. We're having trouble
understanding the votes for that! However, 'The Idiots'? We get ye there. |

Best Cinema |

1 Savoy |
Ah that old lady, the Savoy One. Virgin came close though. Curiously so considering it walked away with the 'Worst Cinema' accolade (see below). All the while, the Screen and IFC stood ground for the non-mainstream screens of Dublin City. |

1 Virgin |
 Ooops.
Hosting most of the Dublin Film Festival this year didn't allay any negative impressions
among CLUAS voters of Dublin City Centre's only Multiplex, the Virgin. Stella in
Rathmines will no doubt take pride in its 2nd placing. Cork readers seem to have
a problem or two with the 'Gate' - one to check out on the next trip to the Murphy's
Mecca. |

Best Film of the '90s |
|
|
1 Trainspotting |
 Any
film that brings Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' and Iggy's 'Lust for Life' to a wider
audience deserves a loving touch. The CLUAS voters obliged voting 'Trainspotting'
the film of the decade. Check out the other categories in the
'Best of the 90s' section of the poll. |

Also check out the results for the Music Categories. Then there's the Best of the 90s as chosen by the CLUAS readers. And, of course, all the stuff we've lumped under 'Miscellaneous' (best venues, event of year, pub of year, etc.)
