    Skronger year than I recalled. Jurassic Park is an all-tim sci-fi movie. Schlinder/Tombstone/D&C/Groundhog

    1993 isn't quite 1994, but still I could vote for 4 or 5 of these flicks. Schindler's List is probably the most historically important in this bunch, but I've only watched it once and that's enough for me. I can watch D&C or Tombstone hundreds of times. And at the end of the day, I watch movies to be entertained.

    Jurassic Park
    Impressive run by Speilly
    1993 - Jurassic Park
    1993 - Schindler's List
    1997 - Jurassic Lost World (haven't seen, won't see, but I'm sure it made a lot of money)
    1997 - Amistad (might have seen? I think people love this though)
    1998 - Saving Private Ryan

    5 movies in 5 years, 3 of which are all-timmers.

    Tombstone
    I lived Dazed and Confused and love it but it is not best picture material

    Jurassic Park
    Not even close. Jurassic Park was, quite possibly, the coolest addition of CGI of all-tim. It made things that humans could only conceive of as fossils or drawings in a book look like they really were roaming the Earth again. I haven't seen the OG Jurassic Park in years, so maybe some of this is 12 y.o. me opining, but this is in my all-time top 10.

    It's one of the 10 or so movies that I cannot turn off if I run across on Dish. I've seen several times in the last couple years. It holds up. Really good movie.

    Have to admit I have forgotten how ground breaking Jurassic was at the time. I always assumed it didn't hold up so haven't watched it again. In my desperate quest for content I now will

    Jurassic Park was an amazing achievement. It's just that my confirmation bias leans against the "make believe" and sci fi genres. Tombstone and Dazed are way more in my wheelhouse.

    I never got the appeal of Tombstone at all.

    Shindler is the easy winner here. It really shouldn't be close, but I felt like keeping it light and that is not very light.

    Dazed holds up incredibly well. It's actually funnier now than when I saw it in 1993. One of the problems with the "best picture worthy" requirement is that it rewards too many of the wrong things...hype, budget size, social-political impact, etc.

    Was the movie original, well written, well acted, and successful at conveying what they set out to convey? Thats what I try to evaluate. Dazed definitely checks those boxes as well as any of the choices. It helped launch a bunch of successful careers which tells you they casted it well.

    I think I made the right choice.

    I mostly love Tombstone and probably quote it as much as any movie. There's a few chees ball parts- e.g., Doc Holiday firing like 40 shots from 2 six shooters, but overall I think it holds up well.

    Groundhog Day
    I think Wyatt Earp coming around a year later kind of diluted Tombstone.

    Jurassic Park is an all-timer sci-fi

    Groundhog Day was absolutely brilliant.

    I still watch Wyatt Earp for Costner killing the guy with the cue ball but that's about it.

    Tombstone
    Jurassic, D&C are both epic, but Doc Hollidays lines alone in Tombstone make it a bulldozer. Tough call. Three way coin flip for me.

    Schindler's List
    Schindler's List is an amazing work of art, but I have no desire to watch it again. Once was enough. Lot's of other movies this year that aren't on the level of '94 or '95 but are really good. Can't really pick a best.

    My high school highly encouraged every kid go see it in the theater. They organized field trips with groups of 30. I was glad I saw it that way, but once was enough.
