Hit and Runway (1999)
loved this film!
This is a very well-written and entertaining movie. Elliot and Alex are great as two screenwriters with quite different personalities who collaborate on the script for a cheesy movie. Alex is a struggling Italian-American cafe worker who takes screenwriting classes at night; Elliot is a gay Jewish writer with a major crush on a very cute coworker of Alex's. Problem is, Alex doesn't seem to have any writing skills and Elliot doesn't have any confidence. A hilarious series of events conspire to bring the two together as co-writers aspiring to the shark-eat-shark world of Hollywood.
Dogma (1999)
Rewarding though sometimes crude presentation of modern Christianity
Definitely worth seeing because the movie is thought-provoking and entertaining. Best were Linda Fiorentino as the last living descendant of Jesus's family (His "great-great-great-great..."etc. grand-niece), Chris Rock as hilarious (yet sensitive) 13th apostle Rufus, and Jason Mewes as a prophet (who's unfortunately very foul-mouthed!). The British angel Metatron is pretty cool, too.
I especially liked some of the ideas presented, and the overall presentation (minus the violence).
