The Best Films of the Decade: The 1980s

This is a great list Drake. I love the you have manhunter on the list great film. I will say though any list of the 1980s that doesn’t have risky business, in my opinion the best film ever about being in high school and growing up dark funny and one of Tom Cruise’s best performances

I got to say though Drake, of all the disagreements that I might have with you, the fact that Brian depalma’s blowout it’s not only not in your top 100 of the 80s it’s not in the top 10. I’m a big de Palma fan, also missing is casualties of war, which I agree with Quentin Tarantino is the best film ever made about Vietnam, but blowout is the promise best film. It would be in my top 50 films of all time

Fair enough on Apocalypse now. By the way my second-favorite Vietnam film

Hey Drake how do you feel about this new list by Slant Ranking the Best my films of the 80s?

https://www.slantmagazine.com/film/the-100-best-films-of-the-1980s/

I have a question. I saw that Debra Winger was mentioned in 1982 and 1983 for her performances in an officer and a gentleman and terms of endearment respectively so I added those to my watchlist. I found both the performances Very very good. Both those films were not in top 10 and still the performances were mentioned terms of endearment was the best performance of the year I believe. Do you think those performances are very good ? I think she was best performance in terms of endearment stealing the movie from Shirley and Jack.
