Best Movies of 1992

A personal ranking across the films first publicly released in 1992, from American revisionist westerns and biographies to Senegalese satire, Japanese animation and British memory pieces. Festival premieres count. Craft, performance and the complete viewing experience guide the order. Try Malcolm X for scale and character, The Long Day Closes for intimate visual storytelling, or Hard Boiled for exceptionally organised action. The harsher adult selections are identified where their content changes the choice.
