Dir: Andy Wachowski & Lana Wachowski
1999
****
An effective method of measuring the success of a film is to see how many times it has been spoofed. While the world was waiting in anticipation for the brand new Star Wars film, the Wachowski's slipped The Matrix in with very little promotion from what I can remember. It was much better than the new Star Wars film, that's for sure. It is not very often that a truly original film like this comes along, a film where the brilliant ideas are realised to their full potential and then some. It is crammed full of memorable scenes, characters and quotes that it genially is, as overused as term is, a modern classic.
