Best Film of 1983
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 1983 (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 1983 (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 -- Return of the Jedi 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 -- (currently) 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 If you haven't voted on the previous years, feel free to go back and do so. *Poll closed, winner declared.

We're getting into the "before my time" area (I was 12 in '83) but for my vote, I'll have to go with Return Of The Jedi also, even if it had Ewoks.

My vote:
Terms of Endearment. BTW and FWIW, Return of the Jedi is my favorite of the Star Wars films...it is actually the only one that I have watched more than once. |

I'm going with Return of the Jedi also. The only film I've watched 4 times in one day.

hard to decide......a pretty ho-hum year I guess.....
I couldn't really decide between A Christmas Story and The Year of Living Dnagerously (I'm a big fan of Videodrome too), so I'll just pick A Christmas Story
