Top 30 Films of the 80's
Hello all,
Starting 2 weeks from today on the 18th, we'll be counting down our top 30 films from the 1980's in honor of Patrick. Let me know if you want to partake ASAP (If I'm not mistaking, six, John and I are the only confirmed participants as of now). When you've complied your list or parts of your list, send it to me at kfcman945@yahoo.com. This should be a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody's picks.
Participants:
transformers
six

Re: Top 30 Films of the 80's
I'd love to do it but I'm not sure I'll have the time to do it. I'm 7 weeks away from my festival, September and October are the two months of the year I have almost no time outside of work and the festival. I'm afraid if I do it, it will be a list I'll come up with too hastily and forget many films and I won't have time to write about most of the films and won't have time to comment on your choices. And if I do it I want to do it properly.
So I'll catch up in November and make my own list after yours and comment then.

Re: Top 30 Films of the 80's
No. Just articulate your love for each movie in whatever way you see fit and we'll be in business.
Shit, I completely spaced that your festival is in October. Sorry about that. Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing your picks then.Chienfantome wrote: ↑September 4th, 2023, 5:10 pmI'd love to do it but I'm not sure I'll have the time to do it.

4 days away from this starting up, so if everyone could get their initial picks to me ASAP, that would be great. If anybody else wants to join, let me know.

Re: Top 30 Films of the 80's
Damn, I forgot this was happening. Are we doing 30-1 or alphabetical order?
It's like what Lenin said...I am the walrus.
Re: Top 30 Films of the 80's
I'm going to do 3 films that almost made my top 30, just for fun
Re: Top 30 Films of the 80's
I have a few "missed the cut" titles as well. When should we post those?

Re: Top 30 Films of the 80's
It's #30-1 and as for the "missed the cut" titles, you can send them to me alongside your initial list and I'll post them before #30 as a way to kick things off.

Re: Top 30 Films of the 80's
I'll start sending you some picks soon, but I may not be around much for the customary banter.
My father's funeral was yesterday, so I'm responsible for sorting out his affairs and making sure my special needs sister is taken care of, so I have lot on my plate right now.
On a more positive note, I recently received a grant to produce and direct a short film I've written, so once I get the family situation under control I'll need to re-focus on that.
All in all it's a busy time, but this countdown will be a nice way to think about other things for a few minutes each day.

Sorry to hear about your dad John. Let me know if you want to push back the start of the countdown to give you some time to mourn and get your affairs in order.

Sure, I'll participate. Admittedly much of these will be standard-issue picks, not a ton of obscure stuff, but nonetheless.
