    This'll be a head wrecker! The 80's for movies was like the 60's for popular music...

    Noone nominated Deep Throat or Debbie Does Dallas either when we did the 70's...

    Guess you'll just have to live with the disappointment once again. :crazy3:

    Suppose my love of all things Japanese is fairly obvious on the threads about our Japanese lads so may aswell throw this little underrated 1985 classic into the mix...

    RAN is in the list of Nominations @Wllm In truth, think this decade has had the most non-English speaking films nominated so far, with representative selections in French (4), German (1), Swedish (1), Russian (1), Cantonese (4), Italian (2) & Quebecois (1) as well as Japanese (3). :)

    Thanks for those selections @HenriksRightBoot some really good picks there! :)

    If it's possible in future, please PM/DM me with these, rather than posting in the open thread it would be appreciated, thanks in advance. :50:
