Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.
A nos amours,
cinema, paradiso,
nostalgia,
that day on the beach,
in the blue sea,
in the white foam…
I want to return to that day,
sans soleil,
a flor do mar,
toute une nuit—
When the wind blows
on the silver globe
stranger than paradise,
the time to live and
the time to die
near dark
as tears go by,
—Darkness
—Light,
—Darkness
Begotten!
the meaning of life
dust in the wind—
To sleep,
as to dream,
from beyond
damnation—
from beyond
the sacrifice—
from beyond
wings of desire—
o sangue!
black rain!
if I die,
forgive me,
bablyon / utopia /
forest of bliss /
castle in the sky /
Could one imagine?
arising from the surface
once more,
a better tomorrow—
Is it easy to be young?
The shining road
remains to be seen…
the narrow bridge
before my eyes
landscape in the mist—
Our voice of earth,
memory, and future,
threads the journey
out of the blue—
Yesterday?
time stands still…
blind…
meantime,
they live,
missing pieces,
somewhere in time,
and the ship sails on—
“The 1980s was the era of the blonde cheerleader”
—Winona Ryder
“The 1980s really ended for me in 1992”
—Pedro Almodovar
“New Zealand was such a weird place in the 1980s.
For instance, we used to have this commercial in the late 1970s
where this guy drives this car and stops outside a corner store.
He goes in to buy something, and when he comes out, his car is gone.
He's like, 'Huh?' Then a voice says, 'Don't leave your keys in the car.”
—Taika Waititi
*THX RUMBLE*
*THX RUMBLE*
*THX RUMBLE*
*puts on 3D glasses* — WELCOME! 
Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll— regardless if you sent a list or not, I hope everyone picks at least one film from the list they haven't watched and blindly give it a shot (I'll be doing the same). This poll was a blast to host. Loved the love-it-or-hate-it discussions in the poll thread. No matter which way you swung, I think we all agreed the 80s were very definitive.
A total of 628 unique films were submitted.
Runner-ups in alphabetical order: Chronopolis, City of Pirates, Poltergeist, Stranger Than Paradise, The Untouchables
Actor who appeared most on the list (with 5 films)—
Harrison Ford
*(Will double check this, but I think it's correct)
Directors who appeared most on the list (with 4 films)—
Hayao Miyazaki
Rob Reiner
