Naïve Old Fart 9,552 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I'll start with the 80s. It's probably the decade of cinema that I know the most. In no particular order: THE ABYSS BROADCAST NEWS LOCAL HERO EMPIRE OF THE SUN THE MOSQUITO COAST DUNE THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST UNDER FIRE BLADE RUNNER BRAZIL OK, so I overlap with Lee's magazine article, but, hey, great minds, eh?
