There are a few funny moments but it's mostly a waster of time.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 944 Average listal rating (668 ratings) 5.1 IMDB Rating 5.2
Lost in Space (1998)
Lost in anxiousness for something interesting to happen...
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 312 Average listal rating (194 ratings) 5.6 IMDB Rating 5.6
Stehako's rating:

Should have placed a hi-lo bet on how many head nods we'd get from boredom.

I hope you didn't have them for this film.

The Faculty (1998)

Usher... acts.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 312 Average listal rating (188 ratings) 5.8 IMDB Rating 5.9
The Borrowers (1997)
They should have borrowed less from tired retreads.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 1471 Average listal rating (911 ratings) 6.2 IMDB Rating 6.3
With practically no magic.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 1010 Average listal rating (617 ratings) 4.7 IMDB Rating 4.6
Psycho (1998)
A Gus Van Sant experiment gone wrong

Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 909 Average listal rating (508 ratings) 6.7 IMDB Rating 6.9
Lolita (1997)

Wow, did the makers of this film even see the original?
Stehako's rating:
I'm assuming this is not the role that got Daniel Craig cast as James Bond.

Derek Jacobi pulls off Bacon pretty great.

Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 2454 Average listal rating (1668 ratings) 4.8 IMDB Rating 5.4
Godzilla (1998)
Broderick is terrible, this is a classic example of big-budget movies gone wrong
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 184 Average listal rating (119 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 6.6
These filmmakers are bums of cleverly wills
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 2549 Average listal rating (1574 ratings) 4.9 IMDB Rating 5.4
Dr. Dolittle (1998)

And this is when Eddie Murphy lost it.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 210 Average listal rating (155 ratings) 5.8 IMDB Rating 6.1
The Big Hit (1998)
The big miss
Stehako's rating:
Not the opposite of average
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 2681 Average listal rating (1724 ratings) 6 IMDB Rating 6.5
Antz (1998)
Dreamworks' attempt to compete with Pixar. Nice try, actually no, not even a nice try.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 1890 Average listal rating (1109 ratings) 6.2 IMDB Rating 6.5
About as fourth as good as the original. Not something to be proud of, but at least it was better than Return of Jafar.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 158 Average listal rating (94 ratings) 5.5 IMDB Rating 6
Madeline (1998)
Not bad but also not my kind of movie
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 2739 Average listal rating (1752 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 6.8
Zeta Jones is smoking! But that's about the only good thing in this remake
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 1970 Average listal rating (1270 ratings) 6.8 IMDB Rating 7.1
Can't match Disney quality
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 55 Average listal rating (35 ratings) 6.9 IMDB Rating 7.1
Smoke Signals (1998)
Nothing exactly bad about this movie, it's just really dull.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 1106 Average listal rating (674 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 6.8

Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 725 Average listal rating (474 ratings) 5.8 IMDB Rating 6.1
Willis is the hero, Baldwin is the villain. Classic 90s Hollywood action.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 478 Average listal rating (328 ratings) 6.1 IMDB Rating 6.4
The Siege (1998)

A ridiculous film that's poorly acted and written but still somehow a good time.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 768 Average listal rating (475 ratings) 5.9 IMDB Rating 6.5
Novice remake of "Anatomy of a Murder"
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 1262 Average listal rating (843 ratings) 5.6 IMDB Rating 6.2
A fun idea for a kids movie but a little too violent for a kids movie
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 354 Average listal rating (195 ratings) 7.2 IMDB Rating 7.3
The truth is true

As cool as that club was, this film managed to not make it that, but an awesome acting job done by Mike Meyers.

Is this an eye patch?

Love the UK humor

The Waterboy (1998)


St st st stupid but fun.

Theron is simply great with most performances even if this film was destined to strive for the common denominator.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 253 Average listal rating (146 ratings) 6.2 IMDB Rating 6.8

Jim Carrey's biggest, zaniest role ever!
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 143 Average listal rating (77 ratings) 5.8 IMDB Rating 6.1
A talented young cast carries what could have been a classic outlaw film; but the themes and pacing forces this to be a mostly forgotten film and a classic Hollywood failure. I still enjoyed it as wannabe outlaw myself.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 107 Average listal rating (66 ratings) 6.4 IMDB Rating 6.6
Clay Pigeons (1998)
Vaughn and Phoenix collaboration number two for the year is less successful but this dark, barely comedy, still entertains enough to see a satisfying ending.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 662 Average listal rating (461 ratings) 6.1 IMDB Rating 6.5
An okay attempt of a sequel to a modern classic
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 93 Average listal rating (44 ratings) 5.8 IMDB Rating 5.5
Great writing and improv acting. Downey Jr. is brilliant, the actress are good, too; but the editing and cinematography is dreadful.

Everest (1998)
A classic Imax experience
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 1670 Average listal rating (1072 ratings) 7.5 IMDB Rating 7.6

The new noir.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 4709 Average listal rating (3283 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 6.7
Hollywood cliche's at their best. The effects are cool and it's still harmless fun in the end.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 127 Average listal rating (84 ratings) 5.3 IMDB Rating 5.9
Almost Heroes (1998)
A disappointing finale for Farley but enough laughs overall
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 121 Average listal rating (83 ratings) 6 IMDB Rating 6.2
Twilight (1998)
One of the greatest actors of all time can't pull of this snoozy, lazy crime picture. He and Hackman are excellent, but nobody else really works in this and the story is so uninteresting it can't be helped.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 1067 Average listal rating (701 ratings) 6.7 IMDB Rating 7.3

Spacey should negotiate all things.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 125 Average listal rating (77 ratings) 6.8 IMDB Rating 6.9
Zero Effect (1998)
Pullman and Stiller are great but I felt like it could have been a lot better.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 94 Average listal rating (66 ratings) 6.2 IMDB Rating 6.9
Vaughn and Phoenix turn in memorable performances while Heche seems to struggle so much in her role, more than her character. The final scenes are worth the unnecessarily slow build.
Stehako's rating:
People who added this item 264 Average listal rating (161 ratings) 6.1 IMDB Rating 6.6
Entertaining incite into how an immoral politician can come to office. A farce loosely based on Bill Clinton.
