Summer of 93

Led by "Jurassic Park," but also powered by "The Fugitive," "The Firm" and "Sleepless in Seattle," the summer of '93 was the biggest to date. At the same time, the summer of '93 succeeded for the same reason all successful movie seasons do: Because people liked the movies. And, chances are, you still like these movies.
