THE BLUE KITE (1993)

If given the choice, this would not be the entry of the Chinese government, which immediately banned this depiction of one family beaten down by two horrible decades of Chinese history.

Perhaps the best of the Steven Spielberg popcorn movies, with dinosaur effects that incredibly still hold up 28 years later.

GROUNDHOG DAY (1993)

A deep philosophical tract about the meaning of life, in which the main character keeps trying to commit suicide. Also a comedy where a groundhog drives a truck.

DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993)

Teens hang on the last day of school, 1976, in Austin, Texas. Not much happens. Mostly in a good way, I promise.

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993)

Halloween decides to take over Christmas in what has become one of my favorites.
