  1. 1Malcolm X (1992)Malcolm X (1992) 7.7/10 on IMDbReleased 18 Nov 1992Denzel Washington gives a changing public voice an unusually convincing inner continuity.

  2. 2Unforgiven (1992)Unforgiven (1992) 8.2/10 on IMDbReleased 7 Aug 1992Clint Eastwood makes reputation, fear and physical weakness matter inside a western's familiar machinery.

  3. 3The Long Day Closes (1992)The Long Day Closes (1992) 7.3/10 on IMDbReleased 22 May 1992Terence Davies connects childhood, cinema and family through light, remembered songs and the movement between rooms.

  4. 4The Player (1992)The Player (1992) 7.5/10 on IMDbReleased 8 May 1992Robert Altman makes the smooth operation of Hollywood feel more disturbing than an obvious scandal.

  6. 6Reservoir Dogs (1992)Reservoir Dogs (1992) 8.2/10 on IMDbReleased 2 Sept 1992Tarantino makes withheld information and competing performances the engines of a confined crime story.

  8. 8Hyenas (1992)Hyenas (1992) 7.4/10 on IMDbReleased 18 Sept 1992Djibril Diop Mambety gives a town's changing loyalties the colour and absurdity of a fable.

  9. 9Hard Boiled (1992)Hard Boiled (1992) 7.7/10 on IMDbReleased 16 Apr 1992John Woo builds action around readable movement, changing alliances and performers committed to each physical beat.
