First of all, my list is going to be a little different than some of you and also the 80s have different vibes and memories for many. I'll understand if you have some entries of your own.
First time out I mentioned how 1982 was a terrific year for films and it was. There are a lot of loaded years of film and trying to trim the list to 100 is tough. So what I am going to do is also list films that didn't quite make the cut, perhaps an honorable mention list of another 50 or so.
In going back to the 80s, I did find that some of the films are more nostalgic than actually holding up. I will make a point of mentioning it. I also started a list for the 90s which in fact may be the best decade ever for films even though I don't think the 90s have the same "theme" as the 80s or the culture at the time.
I hope Karma Police will think of doing a 90s list with me, a Siskel and Ebert would be fun to go back and forth on our lists. But for now I am going to focus on the 80s.
Let's do this!
