Unfortunately‚ I only have the time to see three of these films. “Witness” is one of the two films that beat out 1992s “A League of Their Own” as a movie I would watch. “Witness‚” on the other hand‚ wouldn’t have sparked my interest save for its recommendations by Adam Kempenaar on several top 5’s on Filmspotting. My guess is that I made the right choice in watching “Witness.” This film centers on John
