This Is Spinal Tap probably deserves a mention. I’m not sure a full length parody documentary had ever been done before.
The Mission with Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons was a beautiful movie.
Airplane in 1980.
My faves are probably Blade Runner, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Brazil.
Blade Runner is spectacular.
Raiders is pure entertainment.
Road Warrior was the perfect blend of bare bones budget and grittiness.
Aliens was a excellent ensemble war flick.
Bull Durham is funny in a way comedies aren’t anymore. (Sarandon is a nut, but I didn’t know it at the time.)
