I was listening to the WXRT radio program 1993 Saturday Morning Flashback - July 5, 2025. They only have a brief mention of movies these days, but it still evoked a time when there was more than 3 good movies in a given year.
1993 was year that gave us Philadelphia, staring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, Spielberg's Schindler's List, which won the Oscar for Best Picture, The Fugitive staring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, The Firm staring Tom Cruise, and Sleepless in Seattle staring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. All of those movies were in the top 10 highest grossing films of the year.
Jurassic Park was the highest grossing film of that year. And it is the only Jurassic Park movie worth your time.
Other notable films:
- Leprechaun staring Warwick Davis. Started a horror franchise if I remember correctly.
- Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. The story of 2 dogs and a cat trying to get home.
- Groundhog Day. Bill Murray, in one of his best rolls, with Andie MacDowell
- Army of Darkness. Sam Raimi classic horror/comedy staring Bruce Campbell
- Falling Down. Michael Douglas as a man who lost his way, and Robert Duvall as a detective
- The Nightmare Before Christmas. Which is actually a Halloween movie.
There are more. Most of that list is from the first quarter of the year. But I had to include that last one.
You could go to the movies every week, and there would be something interesting to see. And it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.
