What was your favorite film released in 1983?

 

 

I maxed out the poll and still couldn't fit all the good movies made that year.

It was a tight race for me between Scarface, Vacation, and A Christmas Story.

[Spaceman Spiff]

 

A rare role by an actor where you forget you're actually watching someone play a part.

Risky Business I'm a big sucker for teen movies from that period.

[DM72]

Jedi, Vacation, Scarface and The Outsiders are my favorites.

[Riggo-toni]

Make my day.

Scarface first of all, then Vacation, and then a bunch others.  I just recently played Scarface again.  Great movie.  I also like Miami Vice, same time period really.  Plus I had a place in Coral Gables that I bought in 1997, so I like Miami really a lot.  Miss my place there.

Frank Lopez RIP.

Risky Business is a close 2nd for me,  

 

 

[Mournblade]

Scarface is one those movies I never get tired of. Pacino, Pfeiffer, Loggia, F Murray Abraham. Just an insane cast. 

 

So as much I'm a Star Wars nut, gotta give it to Scarface:

 

1.Scarface

2. Return of the Jedi

3. The Right Stuff

He got a raw deal.

Lopez was actually a lot smarter than Tony/Scarface if you think about it.

Didn't get high on his own supply, for starters.  Frank was a goof but he ran a tight ship.  

 

Also liked that he was so passionate about his Little League team.  The Little Lopezers?  They won the division!

Would Frank have made the same mistakes Tony did in the end?

[TradeTheBeal!]

Frank is the man.  Tony screwed it up for everybody.

But, Tony made the movie.

Lopez: "Hey Tony, remember when you started working for me, I told you about the guys that last in this business. They fly straight, low-key and are quiet. And the ones who don't, they want champagne, chicas  and flash. They don't last"

 

Something like that. It was good advice.

[Momma There Goes That Man]

Frank should have seen the writing on the wall when Tony got back from Columbia.

He tried to have him killed at that nightclub. Remember?

[Going Commando]

I like the movies from '82 and '84 way better.  None of these movies are essential.  I voted for Big Chill.  Great soundtrack.

[Passepartout]

Return of the Jedi hands down!

[Rattlesnake88]

Scarface is a solid movie(a tad overrated)

 

however seeing that breaking bad casted a couple actors for key players in that series is kinda neat in hindsight.

 

I say "Return of the Jedi" wins it for me. feel like popping it in now.
