Now watching films that came out in 1981. Recommend me some.

Will list my favourite 1980 movies soon.

Takes me two months to watch 40 films 'per year' and I started in 1915. Won't catch up to modern times for another decade!

Do a forum search for the other years starting from 1977.

What nobody remembers Excalibur? Clash Of The Titans, Southern Comfort and Condorman! Postman Always.....

Das Boot, short film version perhaps not the miniseries. One Flew Over a Cuckoos Nest was an older film.

Condorman is a bloody terrible film! Southern Comfort, like all of Walter Hill's movies from that period, is a minor classic

Chariots of fire. I loved that movie. I was a good runner and ran for both my county and the army. Never broke the 3 minute mile but came close at 4:07.

Well my favourite last year's films (1980) are:

The Empire Strikes Back

The Gods Must Be Crazy

The Blues Brothers

Superman 2

Aside from these greats the others were lackluster. a very top heavy year for movies.

I think Dance Craze came out in 1980 or 1981. I loved the film.

Chariots of Fire is an outstanding film; lots of very personal memories.

I will be extremely impressed if you had run a 3 minute mile; the current World Record is 3:43.13 (Hicham El Guerrouj).

No idea on my fastest mile, but I was timed at 15 minutes over a three mile course.

I still haven't forgiven him for stealing from the Christmas Club savings scheme.

I don't remember whether they came out in 1981, but it was the year I discovered French films late at night on TV.

They invariably had boobies or a flash of sophisticated, elegant Gallic muff in them.

A stunning revelation as puberty hit

Long Good Friday - Bob Hoskin film.

Think it was Nov 80 hey but it's close enough!

I didn't rate Long Good Friday, nor last years Apocalypse Now. For a good gangster film see, you mostly have to go to the 1940s, see

Apart from the excellent "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (1979)"

"Roadhouse "

That was 1989.

That was eight years before I was born, but the two that I thought of from the top of my head are The Evil Dead & American Werewolf In London.

Good movie and about the only one I've heard of!

One of my favourites from 'those days' is The Deerhunter that I saw in 1977!

Love Southern Comfort, esp the Ry Cooder soundtrack.
