What is your favorite movie released in 1992?? At first glance, I can see that it was not a bad year for film. There were some stinkers, of course, but they seem to be offset by some really good films.
You've got the serious stuff, like "Basic Instinct", and "Unforgiven", some animated fare, with "Aladdin", and "Tom & Jerry", and some sequels, with "Alien 3" and "Home Alone 2".
So, look over the list of releases for 1992, and tell us your favorite film of the year.

Some good films that year, and some really different ones. My faves:
A League of Their Own Army of Darkness Basic Instinct City of Joy The Crying Game Diggstown Hero Hoffa Like Water for Chocolate My Cousin Vinny Scent of a Woman Unforgiven Year of the Comet
A League because I believe it was important, and it was also fun to watch. A bit of women's history, and in the end, the revelation of the actual women who played in the league.
Army of Darkness I always watch if it's on tv. Cracks me up.
Basic Instinct... who needs monsters when you have one pissed off woman!
City of Joy... can't watch it very often as it moves me so much.
The Crying Game is a heart tearing story with political importance of the Irish struggle viewed through the IRA perspective, as well as a surprising twist with the transexual love affair. Outstanding performances by Forest Whitaker, Jaye Davidson and Stephen Rae.
Diggstown is another one I'll watch whenever it's on... great performances by the chief characters and a wonderfully twisted plot line. Fun.
Hero is a dark comedy about courage, a life gone awry and theft... of the act of heroism (which was rather accidental). Good film, fun to watch, but didn't get very popular.
Hoffa. Well, I'm from a coal mining family, and though Hoffa set up the truckers union, any early union leader is a hero to me. This film was in my opinion very well done with an excellent cast and plot. Revealing how Hoffa got the union started by hands on physical fighting as well as convincing arguments, and how he became corrupted by the power he eventually achieved, it's well worth watching this historical drama.
Like Water for Chocolate - a magical love story and tragedy, exquisitly made with wonderful performances by the actors, another film worth watching. Of the South American and Mexican magical tradition, it's different yet familiar in the story of lovers destined for entanglement and great difficulties.
My Cousin Vinny... who can not watch this farce? I am laughing as I type this, it's so funny. See it if you haven't already. New Jersey meets the deep south, and omg what laugh riots ensue.
Scent of a Woman is one powerful film, with outstanding performances by Al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell. Both a comedy and a near tragedy, the film is as full of life and joy as it is of deep sadness and despair. With many moments of great humor (Pacino's character, who is blind, driving a Ferrari at top speed through the city streets with O'Donnell's extremely nervous verbal guidance from the passenger seat), it's a solid film that will hold up forever.
Unforgiven... a hard story of hard men and women in the old west. The truth behind the figure of the gunfighter, or at least one who has intelligence and some feelings left toward the end of his life. Sort of an anti-western western, I watch it occasionally. The depth of despair in the film keeps me from watching it more often, but it is a true American classic.
