I was 14 when it came out. I don't remember seeing trailers for it, but a buddy at school told me he saw an awesome movie called 'The Matrix.' He didn't give me any details.

Like a lot of other people, my mind was blown. I had never seen anything like it. It was the first movie I saw multiple times in theaters (maybe 4 or 5). When it came out on DVD, I just watched it over and over. I would go to sleep by reciting the movie in my head.

I think every 14 year old boy wanted to be Neo back in 1999.

He's a solid #2 or 3, maybe behind Harrison Ford.

Edit: Forgot about Hanks.

I'd probably go:
1. Tom Hanks
2. Will Smith
3. Harrison Ford
4. Jim Carrey
5. Mike Myers maybe?

Kevin Costner had a pretty good run from '88 to '99.
