CINEMATIC HOLY MOMENTS: 1993

by Toby

[re-upload from the now defunct thewanderingimage.tumblr.com]
my personal favorite moments from films to receive a 1993 U.S. release. Not all of which made my actual “Best Films of 1993” list, but at least had incredible segments that stayed with me since first viewing. Scenes that I’m sure I’ll want to re-visit again and again.
