One of the better years of the 80s. 8 or 9 films I really like. #10 feels like an outlier, but it's still a worthy, entertaining entry and I don't mind it being in my Top 10. The top of the barrel in this year is probably higher than any other 80s year, with 4 films in my overall 80s Top 10.
I'd say it's my 3rd or 4th favorite year of the 80s. I'll settle with..... 4th

2. Amadeus
3. Blood Simple
4. Stranger Than Paradise
