Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

George Newbern's narration is one of the highlights of this audiobook. His enthusiastic tone perfectly matches the exuberance of Raftery's writing, making it feel like you're part of a lively discussion about classic films. The pacing is brisk, never dragging even when discussing slower-paced movies. However, some listeners might find the rapid-fire pace occasionally overwhelming, especially during detailed analyses. Despite this, “Best. Movie. Year. Ever.” remains a thrilling journey through cinematic history, celebrating everything from 'The Matrix' and 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace' to lesser-known gems like 'Magnolia'. A must-listen for anyone with an appreciation for the movies of 1999.
