Not that they're getting any votes.

It would appear that I don't love a single film from 1993. I'm undecided.

I almost added the Nanetti film.  I probably should, since it was a dictator choice.

the Nanetti film

lol, I've seen two too many of Nanni Moretti's films to be conflating his name like that accidentally.

I should start drinking coffee, maybe.

What a great year '93 was.  I remember 93 very well and remember it being an important year for movie in my own life.  There are about ten movies on this list I wanted to vote for, but in the end it was Jurassic Park.  I love the film and it still remains the greatest movie going experience of my life.  It's a legendary story I like to tell and one I'll never forget.

Did you narrowly escape a pack of velociraptors?


A few months ago I would've gone with Dazed & Confused but now I'll be going with Blue.  Although it's still pretty close.

Schindler's List is clearly the better film, but I still had to vote for True Romance.

Groundhog Day, although The Piano, Ninja Scroll and The Fugitive aren't that far behind.
