Randomness... 1980-1982

NINE TO FIVE
In addition to sojourns into the current Oscar race, we've been feeling some 1980s nostalgia of late. So let's indulge in the "Totally Awesome 80s" this month. We'll pepper in some 80s themed posts in between the current Oscar race coverage. Let's begin with the early 80s because...why not? Since The Film Experience began in 2000, any list shared here about years before that was a strange combination of modern viewings mixed with childhood or teenage or college memories. I always wonder how accurate 'old' top ten lists would be if I actually sat down and watched as many movies from those years as I do now. I recently watched Gremlins (1984), for example, which I loooooved as a kid and was mostly bored. 'When does this get clever? funny? exciting?' Not that you should ever judge a movie from an airplane viewing; it's about the worst possible way to view a motion picture given those tiny screens, cramped quarters, muffled sound, and in-flight interruptions.
Herewith 'top ten lists' (HIGHLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE UPON REWATCHES) about the early 1980s with a note as to when I first or last saw the film...
1980 alphabetically
- 9 to 5 (Colin Higgins) - Probably saw this first on television in the 1980s but have seen it periodically since - last time in 2015. Dolly, Lily, and Jane remain iconic as celebrities; isn't it wonderful that some things (albeit very few things) never change?
- Airplane (Abrahams/Zucker/Abrahams) -Thought this was hilarious in the 1980s. But I only remember about three jokes. Have not seen it since.
- The Empire Strikes Back (Irving Keschner) - I am fully over the Star Wars universe from oversaturation as an adult but as a child I was as obsessed as anyone who grew up during the original releases. This was not the first movie I ever saw in theaters (I wish I could remember the first time) but it is my earliest actually vivid moviegoing memory (summer 1980). Curiously I've seen it less times than the films that sandwiched it even though it's the best of the franchise. Most recent viewing was the 1997 rerelease in theaters.
- Fame (Alan Parker) - Didn't fully 'get' this one when I first saw it in highl school (years after its release) which is funny since it's a high school movie. But as an adult it is quite interesting as a period piece. All contemporary films become period pieces! Saw it last about ten years ago at a screening hosted by a drag queen here in NYC.
- Ordinary People (Robert Redford) VS Raging Bull (Martin Scorsese). Didn't see this Oscar Rival Pair until the 1990s when I was trying to fill in Oscar gaps and curious as to why people were so mad that Bull lost. Happily surprised to prefer Ordinary People as that usually is not the case when you see an older Oscar battle in which modern critics prefer the losing film. Rewatched Raging Bull in the 2013 for a Smackdown and still admire it more than I actually like it.
- The Shining (Stanley Kubrick) I had never seen this all the way through until I watched it on a trip with friends in the Aughts (!!!) when we were staying in a cabin in the cold and pitch-black woods. An ideal viewing experience apart from the tiny TV screen.
- Stardust Memories (Woody Allen) Didn't see this until I was an adult a decade later and remember admiring it. Barely remember it. Have not revisited.
- Superman II (Richard Lester) I was convinced this was the best superhero movie of all time until Spider-Man II in 2004. There have been other capable Superman performances but still no one as deft as Christopher Reeve at toggling between Clark Kent and the Kryptonian. I'm late but eager to see Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (2024) which arrived in October.
- Tess (Roman Polanski) Have zero recall. Probably a rental in the late 80s or early 90s. Conclusion: I need to see more 1980 pictures.
1981
alphabetically
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK- Absence of Malice (Sydney Pollack) When I rewatched this for a Smackdown five years ago (can't actually recall if I had ever seen it before then) it was merely good. I need to see more 1981 pictures as an adult.
- Atlantic City (Louis Malle) Did you ever watch a movie as a teenager and think 'I'll like this more when I'm older!' That's the only memory I have of it other than Sarandon and the lemons.
- Body Heat (Lawrence Kasdan) Saw it again a few years ago at a movie theater. Still brilliant and Kathleen Turner deserved an Oscar (something that would happen a few times though she was only ever nominated once - ARGH!). One of the best films of the 1980s.
- Dragonslayer (Matthew Robbins) Haven't seen this since I was a kid but the studio sent me the blu-ray when it was remastered. Should rewatch it.
- Excalibur (John Boorman) Tried to watch this recently on streaming somewhere and realized I wasn't in the mood. First saw it in my early teenage years probably since I was really into Camelot stories.
- The French Lieutenant's Woman (Karel Reisz) Had a lot of issues with this one when I rewatched it for some project or another here at TFE. For me it's one of Streep's few 'off' notes in her superlative late 70s to late 80s run.
- On Golden Pond (Mark Rydell) Watched this for a Smackdown and kept thinking 'it'd be so cool if films like this could still be blockbusters'. Audiences had such a broader range of taste in the 1980s and 1990s.
- Raiders of the Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg) Still perfect. Favourite Spielberg. I was so happy that this topped our Spielberg list when we did a Team Top Ten in 2021
- Reds (Warren Beatty) Still one of a kind. Last rewatched in 2020.
- Time Bandits (Terry Gilliam) I have not a single memory of this one. I saw it theaters as a kid. Conclusion: I need to see more 1981 pictures.
1982
alphabetically
THE VERDICT- Bladerunner (Ridley Scott) - Breathtaking still. Didn't see it in on the big screen until the 1990s with a rerelease but had seen it before and would see it again multiple times. It has the curious distinction of arguably being the only movie ever improved by obsessive director-tinkering after the fact; losing the narration really elevated it. A+
- The Dark Crystal (Jim Henson & Frank Oz) -Was obsessed as a child and wanted to become a puppeteer.
- Diva (Jean-Jacques Beineix) - The first French film I was ever obsessed with. Rented it multiple times as a teenager back when video stores still existed. Haven't seen it in a long time but suspect it would hold up.
- E.T. The Extra Terrestrial (Steven Spielberg) -You were required to love this a kid in the 80s. It's the only movie I ever remember seeing with my grandma (who didn't like it!). Have not seen since the 80s!
- Gandhi (Richard Attenborough) I believe this was the first movie I ever saw because of Oscar buzz. Early 1983 was when I realized what the Oscars were and was intrigued to know more. Loved it at the time but people say it doesn't hold up.
- An Officer and a Gentleman (Taylor Hackford) I can't remember this but I have seen it. Possibly in the early 90s?
- One From the Heart (Francis Coppola) Same apart from a few indelible images.
- Tootsie (Sydney Pollack) - One of the defining films of the 1980s and deservedly so. Have seen it multiple times. Last time maybe seven years ago?
- The Verdict (Sidney Lumet) - Watched it for the first time last year. Very solid adult drama!
- Victor/Victoria (Blake Edwards) - And we end with the reason for this post. Discussion of Victor / Victoria coming tomorrow after an October rewatch.

Fun topic. I know your time is limited, but I'd love to see more posts like these here (some of us need the comfort for sure).
My favorite film from this era is The Verdict. I think this is Paul Newman's best performance and maybe the best legal drama ever. Some others that you didn't mention:
Gloria (1980) - Maybe the most accessible Rowlands/Cassevetes film.
The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) - This is a very imperfect movie but Weaver and Gibson have so much chemistry, and the score is one of my favorites. I can watch it over and over.
Starstruck (1982) - This new wave Gillian Armstrong musical has so much personality.
A Question of Silence (1982) - I just saw Maureen Gorris's feminist film earlier this year on the Criterion Channel and it blew me away.
This is a fun project! Nine to Five and Tootsie are two of my all-time favorite movies. This might even be my favorite 80s era.
I would recommend the following rewatches or first time viewings
1980: Dressed to Kill
1981: Thief
1982: Eating Raoul
A 1980 best of list without The Elephant Man or Blues Brothers?
My favorite film of 1982 remains My Favorite Year. In my revision of Oscar history, Peter O'Toole wins for this so Ben Kingsley can win for Sexy Beast.
1980 films Top 10 in no particular order apart from No 1,very horror heavy
The Fog my fave John Carpenter movie
Ordinary People Internet be damned it's my pick for the Oscar and MTM should have won too.
Dressed To Kill apart from Carrie and Rising Cain the De Palma film i've seen more than 5 times
The Elephant Man Lynch's masterpiece and Hurt should have won the Oscar
The Shining iconic,justice for Duvall
Stardust Memories I adore Rampling in this,should have had a nom in supporting
The Changeling one of the best 80's scary movies,the medium scene is so well done
Resurrection a little seen gem containing 2 superlative roles for Eva and Ellen
Friday the 13th prefer this to Halloween
Alligator one of the best creature features
1981 I feel no shame in liking some of these films,they are not academic at al
Raiders of the Lost Ark "Shut your eyes Marion" is one of my fave movie scene ever
On Golden Pond makes me well up everytime,a great classic movie from old ish Hollywood
Only when I Laugh adore Mason and Hackett in it.
An American Werewolf in London still the best werewolf film and it's so funny,crush on Griffin Dunne
The Howling another great pracitcal sfx werewolf film,rewatched a lot
Thief James Caan's best performance and effortlessly cool
The Beyond that ending is so downbeat
Ghost Story legends and great atmosphere
Scanners Cronenberg firing on all cylinders,that head pop shot still shocks
Superman 2 the best superhero film,love Stamp's villian
Fun topic, Nathaniel (and I'm looking forward to what you're going to say about Lesley Ann Warren).
I'll take a crack at this.
1980: I think The Shining, American Gigolo, Dressed to Kill, Caddyshack, and Airplane! are excellent. I haven't seen them in a long time, but I remember liking Altered States, Cruising, and The Big Red One quite a lot. And I'm not saying they are great, but '80s kid me enjoyed Flash Gordon, The Final Countdown, and Raise the Titanic (probably the start of me thinking Richard Jordan should've been a bigger star).
1981: Raiders of the Lost Ark and Blow Out are fantastic. I love everything about Arthur. Big fan of Polyester and Excalibur. I think Chariots of Fire has become an under-appreciated Best Picture winner. Kid/teen me films from this year include Taps, The Great Muppet Caper, Clash of the Titans, and Gallipoli. By the way, as a kid the ending of Time Bandits was one of the most disturbing things I saw.
1982: In very different ways I think Blade Runner, Missing, One From the Heart, Evil Under the Sun, and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas are great. Haven't seen them in a long time but I remember appreciating Sophie's Choice and The Year of Living Dangerously. And they are dated in various ways, but I also enjoyed aspects of Querelle, Star Trek II, and Tron.
1982 no particular order
ET I weep like I was 5 yrs old every single time that end comes,one a few films to do this to me
The Verdict why oh why didn't they give that Oscar to Newman
The Thing sfx that haven't been beaten till The Substance showed up this year,ending endleslessly debatable
Poltergeist a real rollercoaster whoever directed it.,they feel like a real family
Tootsie still laugh out loud funny,Hoffman's best and Durning nominated for the wrong film
Frances still Lange's best
The Entity a compelling true story horror
Halloween 3 a great film stuck with an unfortunate title,should have been stand alone
Blade Runner classic sci'f-,arguably Scott's best
Evil Under The Sun a great campathon of Chrisitie's novel.
I know that absence from these lists doesn't mean you haven't seen it - but if you haven't seen Altered States, that movie is gonzo crazy and has peak William Hurt.
And the Brian de Palma's of 80/81: Dressed to Kill/Blow Out are two of may all-time favorite movies. I could watch them any time.
I definitely need to see more movies from these years (and from all years) - and may just watch Victor/Victoria tonight to prepare for your post. Lord knows I could use the diversion.
You're due for an ET rewatch. It's truly one of the best blockbusters of all-time. They don't make movies like that anymore.
You are brave to re-watch. I think I may see too many movies. Yet it doesn’t feel that way.

mcgill - i love seeing these lists. Giving me some 'watch this' ideas.
Nat,you need to see more horror films,some of the ones I suggested esp The Changeling and The Entity aren't out and out horror but slow burns with a high creep factor with good casts.
The 80s-so great to get a VCR and be able to tape movies off of the television and have them forever on your VHS tapes. So great to wait for a movie to run its course, then appear at your neighborhood ‘cheap show.’ The miracle of have video stores open.
Reviewing the movies released in 1980, 1981 and 1982, I figured that I’d forego the obvious titles of the movies that everyone has seen and loved. I’ve thus complied my Top 10 list of movies I’ve yet to see, yet always had an interest in seeing. These could’ve never been seen because they never made it to the cheap show, never made it to prime time ‘movie of the week’ status or because I just couldn’t risk renting them at the video store and feeling that I was tricked by the videotape cover and didn’t get my movie satisfaction. Perhaps the readers could venture together seeing these titles for the first time with me:
1980: I only have an interest in revisiting Resurrection and American Gigolo. Otherwise, if my first video store was still open, I wish I could go back to $1 Tuesdays and rent the following movies that I’ve yet to experience:
-Fade to Black (A shy, lonely film buff embarks on a killing spree…the kid from Breaking Away is in it),
-Foxes (Jodie Foster),
-The Hunter (Steve McQueen’s last movie),
-Fatso (Dom Deluise-so hard to find on DVD, but people always remember it being funny),
-The Last Metro,
-Heartbeat (Sissy Spacek/Nick Notle),
-When Time Ran Out (Paul Newman-volcano disaster movie),
-Times Square (punk rock movie),
-Willie and Phill (a Jules and Jim remake with Margot Kidder),
-A Chance of Seasons (Bo Derek in a hot tub, shouts the Playboy cover).
1981: (Only have interest in rewatching Only When I Laugh and S.O.B (for some reason). Otherwise, my Top Ten was what I’ve yet to rent, I mean see:
-The Fan (Lauren Bacall stalked by a psycho fan),
-American Pop (animated),
-Mephisto,
-Under the Rainbow (Chevy Chase/Carrie Fischer and the WoOz munchkins),
-Hell Night (Linda Blair),
-Escape from New York - how have I yet to see this when every crime-ridden blue city resident always references this John Carpenter film?),
-Raggedy Man (Sissy Spacek),
-The Nights the Lights Went Out in Georgia (Kristy McNichol did make movies),
-The Four Seasons (Alan Alda/Carol Burnett),
-The Incredible Shrinking Woman (Lily Tomlin-is this really so bad that it’s hidden)?
1982: (only have an interest in revisiting Cat People, Frances, Come Back to the 5 and Dime, JD, JD and Pink Floyd: The Wall. Otherwise, I’ve yet to see, but would finally get to view:
-Let’s Spend the Night Together (Hal Ashby/Rolling Stones tour),
-White Dog (why can’t mature adults see this Kristy McNichol movie)?,
-The Border (Jack Nicholson),
-Summer Lovers (Daryl Hannah/directed by the director of Grease),
-I ought to be in Pictures (Neil Simon, Walter Matthau/Ann Margaret),
-The Seduction (Morgan Fairchild-the video cover made you think that you’d ’see something,),
-The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas-it’s Dolly…
-Smithereens (first movie by the director of DSSusan),
-The Slumber Party Massacre (another slasher film with a cover that said ‘rent me!’)
-Eating Raoul.
I love seeing your list and all of the ones shared in the comments.

@TOM: How did I forget 1981’s Mephisto, directed by Istvan Szabo, starring Klaus Maria Brandauer? I loved that one. I also liked the later film the two did together, 1988’s Hanussen, which asks the question “If you really are a clairvoyant, why can’t you see your own downfall?”
Seeing most of the personal picks here, I've decided to share some titles from Philippine cinema, esp given that the mid-70s to mid-80s was considered to be its Golden Age. Save one, all of these titles have already been restored and most likely available via iTunes.
1980:
Bona - Dir. Lino Brocka
Brutal - Dir. Marilou Diaz-Abaya
Kakabakaba Ka Ba? / Will Your Heart Beat Faster? - Dir. Mike de Leon
Manila by Night - Dir. Ishmael Bernal
1981:
Kisapmata / In the Blink of an Eye - Dir. Mike de Leon
1982:
Batch '81 - Dir. Mike de Leon
Himala / Miracle - Dir. Ishmael Bernal
Moral - Dir. Marilou Diaz-Abaya
Oro, Plata, Mata / Gold, Silver, Death - Dir. Peque Gallaga
Relasyon / The Affair - Dir. Ishmael Bernal
@Tom
I can help you out with a few of your titles
When Time Ran Out I watched on YouTube a cpl of months ago and it's a disaster excuse the pun in every way but funnily enough not unenjoyable as long as you view it as a nadir in the carrers of all involved.
The Hunter is not a great end to a stellar career.
Fade To Black it's premise is better than it's execution
The Fan solid cast,Bacall throaty rendition of a ludicrous Broadway type song is something to witness and lots of thrills at the finale and a young hot Michael Biehn
Raggedy man one of Sissy's most underrated turns and Eric Roberts plays a nice guy very well instead of a psycho for once
Claudio I thought your list would lean more academic with a few fun picks.
Claudio - i would have listed THE KING OF COMEDY here for 1982 except that it wasn't Oscar eligible until 1983 so I include it in that year's top ten (one of my 3 fav Scorseses) I hate that it's listed as 1982 everywhere online (even if that's the copyright) . The only mention I can find anywhere or it having anything at all to do with 1982 is IMDb claiming it screened in Iceland in December. Otherwise it is 100% a 1983 picture in all fhe ways that typically matter: Oscars, film festivals starting with Palme D'Or competition at Cannes, theatrical release abroad, and theatrical release in its home country.
@Mr Ripley - i really am not drawn to horror films. I see a lot more of them now than I did when I was young. With horror films I almost always way until i see what the critical reception is. It's the only genre I let other people decide for me what's worth seeing ;) since I don't enjoy them unless they're very well made . I can enjoy bad movies from other genres even if i dont respect them if you know what I mean.
@ Tom - Of the ones you mentioned you haven't seen a few thoughts...
1981 Under the Rainbow -- I have seen this one but have no recall other than that I was disappointed
1982 -Summer Lovers (I saw this in the late 80s from the video store. I remember liking it but it could have been teenage hormones with Daryl Hannah and Peter Gallagher all naked in the sun.
-The Seduction --i saw this on cable once, and i remember Andrew Stevens being naked. But maybe that was some other film i'm remembering since he was in multiple erotic thrillers
-The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas--- Fun and a must for Dolly lovers
Nice topic.
Three years in a row is much, but let's do it! In a few words....
1980
* 9 to 5 (Colin Higgins) - Delicious.
* Airplane (Abrahams/Zucker/Abrahams) - Nice.
* Ordinary People (Robert Redford) VS Raging Bull (Martin Scorsese) - Two Masterpieces. Absolute Cinema. Happily, Ordinary People won. I'd vote for Redford's movie on all 4 categories it won, and also for Mary Tyler Moore as Best Actress.
* The Shining (Stanley Kubrick) - Another Masterpiece. Absolute Cinema.
* Stardust Memories (Woody Allen) - One more masterpiece by Master Allen, unfairly underrated.
1981
Absence of Malice (Sydney Pollack) - Very good, very interesting. I like it a lot and consider it underrated.
* Atlantic City (Louis Malle) - Very, very good. A excellent movie.
* Body Heat (Lawrence Kasdan) - Very, very good movie. An effective homage to noir.
* The French Lieutenant's Woman (Karel Reisz) - Complex and very interesting. It wasn't easy to adapt and they did a good job.
* On Golden Pond (Mark Rydell) - Marvelous. Touching. A very special movie. Henry Fonda's swang song and only and one more triumph by Hepburn, her 4th Oscar. Completely agree: " 'it'd be so cool if films like this could still be blockbusters'. Audiences had such a broader range of taste in the 1980s and 1990s."
* Raiders of the Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg) - Great. Impressive. Revolutionary. I think we can call it a Masterpiece in it's genre.
* Reds (Warren Beatty) - Masterpiece! Absolute Cinema. Beatty's magnum opus. And his chemistry with Keaton is perfect. They're one of the hottest couples in all times. They're pure fire.
1982
* Blade Runner (Ridley Scott) - Masterpiece! Absolute Cinema.
* One From the Heart (Francis Coppola) - Great underrated movie.
* Tootsie (Sydney Pollack) - Masterpiece! Absolute Cinema. What can I say after your words? "One of the defining films of the 1980s and deservedly so."
* The Verdict (Sidney Lumet) - It's good. I respect the movie, the cast, the screenplay. Using your words about "Raging Bull": " Istill admire it more than I actually like it."
* Victor/Victoria (Blake Edwards) - Anazing, absolutely delicious, funny, full of life and joy. Edwards at his best, one more time.
My Top 5 for 1980;-
1. Ordinary People - have seen it and read the book many times. Haven't seen "Raging Bull" so can't comment on the so called "it was robbed" controversy. As for Mary Tyler Moore - she was brilliant but so was Sissy Spacek in Coal Miner's Daughter. Maybe they should have both won?
2. The Elephant Man - Brilliant cinematography, score and performance by John Hurt. And shame they couldn't give the make up effects a special award that year.
3. Airplane ( in Australia it was called "Flying High") One of the very few films I consider a laugh riot. It was almost non-stop gag after gag after gag. Seen it many times and still get a laugh!
4. Fame - Mainly for the soundtrack- . WOW! I have played the CD hundreds of times and just love it. Fame, Out Here on My Own, Is it OK if I call you mine?, Dogs in the Yard, I sing the body electric and Redlight.
5. The Shining - I believe Stephen King hated this and it even ended up on many "worst movie" lists at the time - but I think it is deliciously scary. And yes Jack does go overboard - but isn't that what the character is supposed to be?
