Best Film of 1989 (ongoing survey)
I know we've got polls like this all the time around here, but I figure this one will be a little more comprehensive and perhaps even informative.
This thread will be for your pick for best film released during 1989 (think Oscar considerations for what's eligible). I'm not making it a poll because whether you like it or not, that would influence some people's choice. Results will be posted in this thread, and all subsequent threads for each year, and they will be ongoing... so you can still vote here even weeks after other year's polls have begun. Please start your post with your #1 film from 1989 (try to limit it to one - after all, that's the point - two at the most (I'll split the vote)), and yes, discussions are more than welcome! Current Leader -- Do the Right Thing All Years: 2000 -- Requiem For a Dream* 1999 -- Fight Club* 1998 -- (currently) Saving Private Ryan 1997 -- (currently) Boogie Nights 1996 -- Fargo* 1995 -- (currently) Braveheart 1994 -- Pulp Fiction* 1993 -- Schindler's List* 1992 -- Unforgiven* 1991 -- Silence of the Lambs* 1990 -- Goodfellas* 1989 -- Do the Right Thing* 1988 -- Die Hard* 1987 -- Full Metal Jacket* 1986 -- (currently) Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1985 -- Back to the Future* 1984 -- (currently) Ghostbusters 1983 -- Return of the Jedi* 1982 -- (currently) Blade Runner 1981 -- Raiders of the Lost Ark* 1980 -- (currently) The Empire Strikes Back 1979 -- Apocalypse Now* 1978 -- (currently) The Deer Hunter 1977 -- Star Wars* 1976 If you haven't voted on the previous years, feel free to go back and do so. *Poll closed, winner declared.

My short list:
1) Field of Dreams 2) Born on the Fourth of July 3) Do the Right Thing I've only seen 17 from '89 though. Just FYI, and to help you remember some other possibilities (I'm sure Sunday Morning will provide us with many more), here are Siskel & Ebert's choices: Ebert: 1) Do the Right Thing 2) Drugstore Cowboy 3) My Left Foot 4) Born on the Fourth of Fuly 5) Roger & Me 6) The Mighty Quinn 7) Field of Dreams 8) Crimes and Misdemeanors 9) Driving Miss Daisy 10) Say Anything Siskel: 1) Do the Right Thing 2) Roger & Me 3) Drugstore Cowboy 4) Enemies: A Love Story 5) Born on the Fourth of July 6) The Little Mermaid 7) Crimes and Misdemeanors 8) The Fabulous Baker Boys 9) Say Anything 10) The War of the Roses ...but please don't turn this into a discussion/criticism of their lists  |
