It seems only yesterday we scoured the video store shelves collecting a hefty stack of tapes for the weekend. Sometimes to re-watch a film seen in the cinema, other times pleading with the clerk to rent out that 16+ title our babyfaces prohibited us from entering. When revisiting our Hollywood favourites from thirty years ago, it was interesting to see what incredible range in genre was actually being produced: over-the-top action, auteur-driven drama, romantic comedy, the artisanal blockbuster, and even the spoof movie were all alive and kicking, back then. As we are now collectively toiling against global destruction in what feels like the end times, KINO is fondly looking back at a simpler time with ten nostalgia-inducing movies from 1993 that are long overdue for a return to the big screen.
