1992 delivered gothic romance, courtroom comedy and a Western reckoning. Bram Stoker’s Dracula has the count pursuing his reincarnated love in Victorian London, My Cousin Vinny has a novice lawyer in rural Alabama, and A Few Good Men has a military lawyer uncovering a cover-up. Malcolm X, Aladdin, Scent of a Woman, Unforgiven and Reservoir Dogs round out the eight.
