Best Film of 1985 (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 1985 (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 1985 (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 -- Back to the Future All Years: 2000 -- Requiem For a Dream* 1999 -- (currently) Fight Club 1998 -- (currently) Saving Private Ryan 1997 -- (currently) Boogie Nights 1996 -- Fargo* 1995 -- (currently) Usual Suspects 1994 -- (currently) Pulp Fiction 1993 -- Schindler's List* 1992 -- Unforgiven* 1991 -- Silence of the Lambs* 1990 -- Goodfellas* 1989 -- (currently) Do the Right Thing 1988 -- Die Hard* 1987 -- (currently) Full Metal Jacket 1986 -- (currently) Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1985 -- Back to the Future* 1984 If you haven't voted on the previous years, feel free to go back and do so. *Poll closed, winner declared.

I'm getting too young for these threads.

Now I gotta go back in time to see if JonTurner did really have a 10/10 for BTTF originally, since it's 9/10....

Eh, it's no surprise where this is going... I space them out intentionally though, so I'll wait at least 4 or 5 days before starting the next one... but yeah, this is the biggest landslide yet. |

Well it looks like Back to the Future is going to win in a landslide.
That's my pick too but here are some honorable mentions: Young Sherlock Holmes Real Genius Legend The Breakfast Club Better Off Dead |

It's hard to know whether I should vote when I haven't seen so many of the movies.
Witness would be my choice from what I've seen. |

technically (in a literal sense) speaking, Ran is a better movie, but i think i'll follow the flow and go with BTTF on this one.
on a different note, JonTurner, when you going to do the best film of 2001 thread?! -di doctor- |
