Critics Club III: The Greatest Film of the 1980's

[Neon Ignition]

Voting for each year of the 1980's is now complete and for each year we have the forums choices for the Top 3 films of the year. We now turn our attention to taking those results and voting for the best film of them all.

Voting works the same as the standard yearly polls this time out, multiple options for all

Think carefully then cast your vote for the films you feel truly are the greatest ones in the list above

That's such a great list of films I voted for four. Not sure it that's too many but they're my faves. Looking forward to seeing which makes the number one spot. These 80s polls have been great to go through

[Team Andromeda]

Blade Runner

[QualityChimp]

The Dead Poet's Society.

That's the only one I didn't vote for because I've never seen it.

That's gonna mash your poll up!

You haven't seen it? Man, those dead poets are a riot. You're missing out. Dead Yeats is hilarious although things turn a bit dark when Dead Byron comes into it.

The list seems incomplete...I can't see Transformers: The Movie on there????

Voting will close tomorrow morning.

The 90's era run will begin in the new year and I think the easiest way of handling them is to continue with three polls per week but running each year in two halves to account for the increased volume of releases. Essentially:

Mon - Jan-Jun releases
Wed - Jul-Dec releases
Fri - Overall best of the year

Meaning 1 year covered per week

Isn't it just like those Epic Rap Battle videos on YouTube, but with less dope beats?

[Soundwave]

Well since it appears you are gonna do me like that then I voted for some anyway

Honestly, it's all gold. But I went for The Shining, Ghostbusters, Back To The Future and Robocop.

[Mayhem]

Five horse dead heat right now!

[Neon Ignition]

I'll let this ride out the rest of the day given the face off that's at play

[JazzFunk]

The best movie of the 80s is THE BREAKFAST CLUB.

It's timeless, what a film.

I'm too old these days to see it as a Top 10er but every time I catch it by chance on BBC2 late night or summat, it *always* impresses.

Damn, never been a Simple Minds fan but what an absolute 80s banger for the theme choon.

[JazzFunk]

TRADING PLACES, most def. One of THE best of all!!!! And Jamie Lee, Jamie Lee...

Watch YouTube vid of the stock market now. You'll be shocked. It's not like Trading Places, anymore, it's God AI!!!!!!

01 - Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
02 - Blade Runner
