Major FYC to what'll be my #1 Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring - also think we should consider them as one movie, as it was a single production. They were a single production but separate releases which I believe is the ultimate decisive factor in this case. I consider them two separate films, like I do the LOTR movies also. Can we reach a consensus on this one? I havent seen it yet so I dont know.

To me it would be like ranking Perestroika separate from the first half of Angels in America. Plus it will give us all an extra spot on our lists.

Jean de Florette ends with text reading "end of part one." Shouldn't be a debate tbh, they belong together.

The reason behind the release doesn't mean that it's not two separate movies released separately, nor does the title at the end of the first one. For me they're two films (even titled differently from each other!) to be judged separately, just like LOTR are three separate films, just like S3 of Twin Peaks is a TV series and not a film, etc. But hey, if folks think otherwise and prefer to vote for it as one piece, it's fine with me!

Personal fave - and likely will crack my top 20 - lots of people still haven't this and it's an essential watch. FYC:

just watched Pixote for the first time and Hector Babenco's work this decade shouldn't be overlooked. This deserves to be celebrated here.

FYCThis was the toughest omission from my ballot (but I have *a lot* of favorites from this decade) ... the films of John Carpenter who was arguably the single best director of the decade, or at the very least has a run in the '80s that is absolutely impeccable. Some of my personal favorites: The ThingEscape from New YorkThe FogStarmanAnd of course Big Trouble in Little China and They Live, which have some bigger fans than me but are two essential movies of the decade for sure.

This shouldn't be too hard, considering I've only seen 30 films from the 80's.

wilcinemaThanks for the reminder! I'm actually still watching quite a few '80 movies, so maybe just give me another bump the week of? I'm sure I can squeeze in another year or two (as in '81/'82) before the deadline.
