To YorkshireMedley and 102000, I guess that you're both not aware that this thread is for films that were released in the year 1980, and not the decade of the 80's.

No worries though, as the same mistake was made on the first page of this thread, a mistake which hownos pointed out to the person who made it.

No, I didn't. Apparently didn't read all of it.

A couple from 1980 not mentioned so far that are *about* as good as Raging Bull et al.:
Mon Oncle D'Amerique
The Stunt Man

Both kind of blew my mind in High School at the time.

Um... I don't keep a mental list in my head of movies that came out in the last full year of the f___ing Carter administration.

Airplane? I've seen it 100 times, don't care.

The Final Countdown was good last time I watched it I guess. I've been meaning to watch Atlantic City and Dressed to Kill for a while but I just didn't get around to it and they might not be that great to watch at this point.
