[baumer]

@Ipickthiswhiteroseit's nice to see somebody else include malice on their list

[Wrath]

I'm still bitter about never finding a Remains of the Day lunch box.

 

Edit - 1993 was an outrageously good year for movies. The Matrix might have been right about the '90s being the peak of human civilization. Normally with these lists, "What were the best, or at least, good, movies of the year?" lasts to about #15-ish and then it slides into "What movies were the least bad/least embarrassing to list?" with a few joke entries at the end. With 1993, its steak all the way through.

2.   Schindler’s List

3.   Groundhog Day

16.   The Fugitive

17.   Much Ado About Nothing

18.   The Nightmare Before Christmas

25.   Farewell, My Concubine

26.   True Romance

27.   Hot Shots! Part Deux

28.   Sleepless in Seattle

This was on my radar for a long time, finally watched it a few days back and found it really wonderful. One of the most creative biopics. Gonna make my top 5 here, maybe top 3. Whole thing's on YouTube if you're looking for more movies to watch before the deadline. 

[Jake Gittes]

Also just watched Malice. Lmao.

@The Dark Alfred @Ipickthiswhiterose @Wrath

 

please either make sure to PM me the list, or say this is the finalized list I want to submit. Thanks. 
 

also, @ everyone, the poll is still at 50/50, so there’s a couple more days left to vote. I’m kind of inclined to say, let the movies in; and then, if people think the films shouldn’t count, they won’t be in their list, and it will kind of self correct that way. 🤷‍♀️

[baumer]

@Cap my last list posted is definitely my final one

@Cap my last list posted is definitely my final one

 

As for a few good men, I just moved everything else up in my list and I think I added it in the name of the father. But the list that you there now is the final one, I hope that helps.

I have a question is Army of Darkness considered a 1992 or 93 release? I have it listed but on IMDb and letterboxd it says 1992. but if I go to box officemojo it says it wasn't in us theaters until Feb 1993. 

[JWR]

Duely noted and revised.
