The MoFo Top 100 of the Eighties

Oh yeah, I'm prepared for that. Getting an early start, I guess.

My only regret is not seeing Vice Squad before making my list.

David Lynch (3 films)
Akira Kurosawa (2 films)
Terry Gilliam (4 films)
Tobe Hooper (5 films)
Lucio Fulci (17 films, though maybe half of them are worth seeing)
George A. Romero (4 films, though Creepshow isn't very good)

Don't forget William Friedkin's Cruising and To Live And Die In L.A. I don't care for him much, but Ridley Scott made a few that you might like to see. I prefer his brothers work. Top Gun, The Hunger and Beverly Hills Cop II. What's not to love? Mike Nichols put out Silkwood and Working Girl. Alan Parker's also worth looking at and Walter Hill put a lot out.

Do you prefer the Director's Cut or the theatrical version?

If you guys don't get this guy high on the list, he's gonna send you all love letters.

He is VERY high on my list!

Suave! ******* you're one suave fuc*er!

Why thank you Frank lol

I'm the only one who knows exactly how high, which makes me feel strangely powerful even though I actually have almost no power whatsoever.

The man in the know! lol!

No preference but I'm used to the theatrical.

never got to see the director's cut of Amadeus, would be VERY curious to see that
and i'll be watching After Hours this weekend and need to find Withnail & I and my list should be ready to go.

and sinny, as far as what to go with first, ALWAYS go with the one that catches your eye and follow from there.

I see a Dick.
