A consensus poll of the 20 best films of the year according to the critics polled in Film Comment magazine. When the word 'tie' appears that means the one previously in the list is tied with all those tagged after it in a row as 'tie'. The films listed as 'tie' are in alphabetical order.
Note Film Comment did not actually have an overall list in 1999. I created this from the individual critic's year-end lists.

Notable titles that didn't make it: Buena Vista Social Club, Magnolia and The Sixth Sense

*Both Flowers of Shanghai and Late August Early September made the 1998 and 1999 lists.
