Here we go with 1992
Scent of a Woman
A Few Good Men
Crying Game
Unforgiven
Howard's End
The theme of this year with the exception of Unforgiven, is good but not great. Each of the other four movies had significant flaws. In some ways, it's more frustrating to watch a movie that's sooo close but veers off track or falls short of greatness.
The other theme of this year is a direct attempt to make people think about moral judgements. I know that's not uncommon in good movies, but it's particularly visible in this year. You could show this set of movies in a comparative ethics course and get an interesting snapshot of '92.
The only music that really stuck with me was from Scent of a Woman. The FP Fiance has a fondness for the song 'Crying Game'. The rest was fine, but not great.
Unforgiven really stood out and deserved the best picture award that it won.
