Rare feat for Schindler’s List. It was a Best Picture Oscar winner that both Gene and Roger picked as best movie. I think 1972’s The Godfather was the only other film with that distinction.
Even though its been said that Schindler never broke down and cried as depicted in the film, it was one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever seen, and I tear up every single time I see the scene.

I totally agree with them that 1993 was a great year for movies. I agree with some of their choices, especially Schindler’s List. And I have my own choices as well, Matinee, Batman Mask of the Phantasm, Dazed and Confused, Groundhog Day, The Secret Garden, and True Romance. And there’s still potentially great films I haven’t even seen yet or saw in years. Great year.
The other year in the decade that comes close of being that good for movies is obviously 1999.
