In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Hell, forgot about "spinal Tap".

My Faves:



10. An American Werewolf In London (1981)
....and how do we know that this werewolf is an American?
Because he wants to be a Pepper.
And wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?

9. The Verdict (1982)
Paul Newman in an amazing court case drama, depicting a fight-the-system story of a man seeking justice against the advice of his closest colleague/partner, the mega-structure of the malpractice status quo, the will of a high priced large legal-firm, his own clients' wishes, and most of all, against his own inner demons.

8. Raging Bull (1980)
Okay, seriously, do I really need to explain this one?

7. Ran (1985)
The sweeping Shakespearian epic from the visonary dream of Akira Kurosawa.

6. The Abyss (1989)
"Close Encounters Of The Under-Water Kind".
Or maybe even "The Day The Ocean Stood Still".

5. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
A moving picture showing that when it comes to a deep longing for love in the form of kindness & friendship, we humans are not alone.
And all we have to do to get it, even on a universally galactic level, is to just "be.... good".

4. The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Okay, seriously, do I really need to explain this one?

3. Gandhi (1982)
The British Empire, humbled via one man & the power of peaceful resistance.
Nuff said.

2. Indiana Jones & The Raiders Of The Lost Ark (1981)
Best.
Action.
Adventure.
Movie.
Ever.

1. Aliens (1986)
In this sequel to the non-plural installment of the series, Ripley is back. And this time around, she arms herself with some big guns & with an even bigger attitude of instead of squaring off against just one xenomorph, she's taking on a whole hive full of them. And their momma too.
