Ranking What Was Really The Best Film Of Every Year 1990-2021
29. 1993 - Schindler's List
Actually won: Schindler's List.
1993 was a glorious year for great movies. Aside from spotless nominees The Piano and The Remains of the Day, the year also produced Martin Scorsese's gorgeous The Age of Innocence and the underrated dramas Fearless and A Perfect World.
In the end, though - and for the second year in a row - the Oscar went to the right movie in Steven Spielberg's epic war drama Schindler's List, about a rich industrialist who saved over a thousand Jews from persecution during the Holocaust.
Filmed in evocative black-and-white and employing three of the year's finest actors (Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes), Schindler's List is long but essential viewing, portraying the war with blunt honesty and resounding hope guaranteed to move even the most hardened of viewer.
