What was your favorite film of 1981?

[TradeTheBeal!]

Scanners rules!  Killer FX and the score is sooooooo Metal.

Who cares? Get to 1986 already!

(Slightly NSFW: Diane Keaton and Warren Betty doing thangs - but this won the Oscar for Best Cinematography and Direction - it's all pretty well hidden)

I picked Raiders but loved Taps. Recently watched Stripes and it still makes me laugh!

Just out of curiosity, why 1981?

Touche.

I  remember they took us to watch Reds for school when I was in high school.  For a high school student not interested in the subject matter it was soooo long and soooo boring.  The first movie I had been to that was so long it actually had an intermission half way through.

Ghandi is one that I recall having an intermission. .. and once upon a time in America.

Because we already did 1980

Toughy.  None of these movies really stand out.

 

Raiders wins, although I enjoy Temple of Doom more.

 

Escape from NY is right up there though, will have to give it another watch.

 

And HA, Clash of the Titans reminds me of this scene.  Friggin' **** was so ****in scary back in the day.  I was a kid.  MAN.  How could my parents let me see this.  Caused me to have sleep deprivation.

Not to be picky but there is no way you can have a best movie of 1981 poll without Mad Max 2 Road Warrior it.

That was an oversight, but it wasn't going to overtake Raiders anyway.
