The deciding factor in terms of release dates is the RYM list
Indeed. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough before; The King Of Comedy is a 1982 film.


Thanks, Stephan! Then my second list it is!

Re: Films of the '80s: 1982

Thoroughly impressed by Fitzcarraldo. Might have been even higher if I'd been able to find a version that wasn't dubbed.

1. Blade Runner (Ridley Scott)
2. E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (Steven Spielberg)
3. The King Of Comedy (Martin Scorsese)
4. Fitzcarraldo (Werner Herzog)
5. The Thing (John Carpenter)
6. Tootsie (Sydney Pollack)
7. Gandhi (Richard Attenborough)
8. The Verdict (Sidney Lumet)
9. Monty Python (Live at the Hollywood Bowl Terry Hughes / Ian MacNaughton)
10. Fanny Och Alexander (Ingmar Bergman)

Re: Films of the '80s: 1982

Stephan, are you leaving before or after the end of this round?

Re: Films of the '80s: 1982

After, but I was thinking of simply extending the next round 1 week, which would mean I'd be back in time to collate the next round of lists. What do you think?

Re: Films of the '80s: 1982

Stephan, I send my list tomorrow. Thanks.

Re: Films of the '80s: 1982

That'd be fine. So I wouldn't have to do anything?

Plus this would give people a lot of time to see the many great underappreciated 1983 films. Zelig (Woody Allen), L'Argent (Bresson), Sweet Bunch (Nikolaidis), Sans Soleil (Marker), Berta's Motives (Guerin).

10 points to Koyaanisqatsi for me.

The photography is beautiful. The message is reactionary anti-progressive and sanctimonious.

01. Ghandi
02. Tron
03. Poltergeist
04. Blade Runner
05. The Dark Crystal

Zelig and l'argent are clearly for me "must see films". But don't forget Tchao Pantin and L'été meurtrier for this year Bill.
I think it's film you can love when I list your choices.

Re: Films of the '80s: 1982

With more than double the points of the #2, Ridley Scott has a strong contender for the final top 5. Three directors get a second film through; John Carpenter, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg.

#. Film (Director) - Points/Votes/#1s
1. Blade Runner (Ridley Scott) - 545/13/8
2. Fanny och Alexander [Fanny and Alexander] (Ingmar Bergman) - 261/8/2
3. Fitzcarraldo (Werner Herzog) - 240/8/0
4. The Thing (John Carpenter) - 222/9/1
5. E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (Steven Spielberg) - 218/8/1
6. Tootsie (Sydney Pollack) - 166/7/0
7. Gandhi (Richard Attenborough) - 164/6/1
8. The Dark Cristal (Jim Henson) - 102/4/0
9. The King Of Comedy (Martin Scorsese) - 101/5/0
10. Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Amy Heckerling) - 90/4/1

Re: Films of the '80s: 1982

I can't seem to find Tchao Pantin on Netflix. Does it have a very different English name or is it just that obscure?

I'm discovering a lot more films I like are actually 1983 films.

I'll add one more big recommendation: Three Crowns Of The Sailor (Ruiz). And I haven't seen Scarface or Nostalghia.

Tchao Pantin is not a obscure film ;-) It won 5 César (our Oscar, here in France) but I don't know if it have another title.

Re: Films of the '80s: 1982

Saw The Verdict today. It's a pity it didn't advance.
