Do The Right Thing was the best story and the most important picture of the year, but my favorite is Say Anything.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Best movie of an excellent trilogy (ok, two incredible movies and one average one) IMO.

IMO, it was a weak year for movies. I'll go with a favorite comedy of mine: Christmas Vacation.

My favorite of 1989 is Crimes and Misdemeanors. This is also one of my favorite films of all time.

Alright, I'll get '88 going tonight... a little bump to get a few more votes in first.

I love Field of Dreams to death, but Do The Right Thing is definately the better movie so that's my choice.

Results so far:
1) Do the Right Thing (10 votes)
2) Field of Dreams (5)
3) Say Anything (4.5)
4) Glory (4)
5) Born on the Fourth of July (3)

A few people gave one film as their favorite, but another as one they consider the best - for these I counted 1/2 a vote for each.

The 1988 Thread is now open here!
