Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

#10 Boosh: E.T: the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) And another one I haven't seen since childhood and really need to rewatch. John: The Name of the Rose (1986) I used to love this one, even though I'm not much of a Annaud fan. Haven't seen it in a long time. Ron: First Blood (1982) I've always been uninte...

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

#11 Boosh: Cinema Paradiso (1988) Strangely, I've never seen Cinema Paradiso. I've been meaning to catch it forever, but never have. John: Full Metal Jacket (1987) I cited it, so obviously, love it. Ron: Blade Runner (1982) Just wrote about how it's the best Scott film for me. six: Die Hard (1988) Y...

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

#12 Boosh: Blade Runner (1982) What a film. My favorite Ridley Scott film for certain. John: The Changeling (1980) I'm not sure I know what this film is, I'm intrigued. Ron: Amadeus (1984) Here's one I saw when I was a teen and was pretty impressed by it, but I never had the chance to watch it again...

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

#13 Boosh: Once Upon a Time in America (1984) The 80's produced a few monuments of cinema. This is one of them. John: The Falcon and the Snowman (1985) Never seen that one. Ron: Scarface (1983) Again, hated this one. six: Raging Bull (1980) I always had a hard time with this one. But I realize I pro...

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

10. The Empire Strikes Back (1980) What can I say about The Empire Strikes back that hasn’t been said already ? It’s the best Star Wars film ever made. I remember back in the spring 1997, when the original trilogy was re-released, I was 15 years-old, and one of the best cinemas in Paris screened it...

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

11. Le Père Noël est une Ordure / Santa claus is a Stinker (1982) They often say comedies don’t travel well. It’s the one genre where you can have an absolute classic in a country that’s barely been heard of internationally. None of you have probably ever seen this French comedy which is an absolut...

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

12. The Untouchables (1987) Funny how sometimes, a director makes a film for a studio, and it has everything on the paper to be flat and conventional, but it never is. De Palma isn’t a fan of his Untouchables, and yet rarely has a period crime film looked so good, featured so many classic sequences...

Re: 2023-24 Full Year Slates - The Shryke Draft

Standings (up until January 28) Another slow week as, in a shocking turn of events, Miller’s Girl’s release didn’t send me to the Moon. Next weekend, at last a film will bring in some cash… although it’s for Tranny so it won’t make much of a difference in the standings. 1. Trannyspeare - $1,227,369...

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

13. The Shining (1980)
Kubrick made two films in the 1980’s, and the two of them are here. Probably the most accessible film by Kubrick, but it’s a filmmaking masterclass I’ve been enjoying watching for the last 25 years.

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

#14 Boosh: Die Hard (1988) Often copied, never matched. John: An American Werewolf in London (1981) I haven't seen it since I was 14 or something, I liked it in my teens. Ron: Mississippi Burning (1988) A film with a strong subject, well-made, with great actors. I like it. six: The Empire Strikes Ba...

#15 Boosh: Brazil (1985) Too long since I last saw it, but great film. John: The Thing (1982) Featured in my list, a classic. Ron: The Verdict (1982) I know I saw it, I remember a very clasical film, but it's been a while, I may remember wrong. six: Akira (1988) Here's another one I've been meaning ...

#16 Boosh: Aliens (1986) Very efficient sequel, even though it's far behind the original for me. John: The Living Daylights (1987) Never expected the Dalton 007 films to be so popular in this countdown. Ron: Das Boot (1981) Never seen it unfortunately. six: This is Spinal Tap (1984) Never seen it ei...

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

Sorry, last few days have been a been difficult, I'm getting back to it. 14. The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) Woody Allen has one of the most prolific and fascinating careers. Some of his films are forgettable, but many are thrilling, or riveting, or charming. The Purple Rose of Cairo is one of those...

I've been patiently waiting for the good opportunity to use my #1 spot on the WW for weeks.
Now is the time. I''ll grab MONKEY MAN, drop Brothers for it.

Re: ShrykeVerse Top Movies of the 80's Countdown

15. The Killing Fields (1984) One of the first films I cited in this countdown was Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun. I wrote how I love those old-school Hollywood epic stories about survival in the face of danger. The Killing Fields is one of the greatest films made in the genre. A poignant sto...
