In the constantly changing world of movies, there are times when a movie doesn’t get the critical praise it wants but still finds a place in the hearts of some viewers. The year 1993 was no different; it had a wide range of films that IMDb didn’t like very much. But among these films, one goes against the grain and stands out as my favorite, despite what most people think.
1. Look Who’s Talking Now (1993)

2. Deadfall (1993)
Starring Michael Biehn, Nicolas Cage, and James Coburn, Deadfall is a suspenseful crime drama with unexpected turns. The story is about a family of con artists whose plans for a big heist go wrong in strange ways. As their lives become connected to troubled young women, the movie explores themes of betrayal, lying, and the results of their actions.
3. Only the Strong (1993)
The Mark Dacascos-led martial arts flick Only the Strong features nonstop action. In the story, a former Green Beret moves back to his old neighborhood and gets a job teaching high school. He teaches his students the Brazilian martial art of capoeira, which is a mix of dance and fighting. The movie has exciting fight scenes and a good lesson as he helps the students find a purpose and be more disciplined.

5. Son of the Pink Panther (1993)
Son of the Pink Panther tries to keep the famous comedy series going with Roberto Benigni as Inspector Jacques Clouseau’s biological son. The new Clouseau gets into a case about a kidnapped princess in this film, which Blake Edwards directed. The movie tries to capture the confusion and slapstick humor that made the original show so funny.
6. Body of Evidence (1993)

As the trial goes on, her defense attorney gets involved in a dangerous relationship while trying to figure out what’s happening with the strange events.

7. Mr. Nanny (1993)

8. Splitting Heirs (1993)

13. Loaded Weapon 1 (1993)
Emilio Estevez and Samuel L. Jackson star as a mismatched team of detectives in Loaded Weapon 1. It is a parody of buddy cop films. The comedy makes fun of different action and crime films by using slapstick humor, over-the-top action scenes, and smart references to well-known films. I watched this film so many times. It’s hilarious, especially Tim Curry. “Wilderness girls!”

16. Striking Distance (1993)
In Striking Distance, Bruce Willis plays a Pittsburgh police officer who gets involved in a series of murders. As he looks for the killer, he becomes a target himself and finds out about a plot within the police force. The movie is a mix of action and mystery, and Willis plays his usual tough-guy role.
