1980's Movie Rankdown

It's time to pick up on our next Movie Rankdown.

And while there are still a few genres that have not been covered yet, after the response to the recent dedicated decade Rankdowns, will do this once again. And once again it's a doozy!



That's right... It's the 1980's!

For this Rankdown, we will be exploring and celebrating the movies that were released between January 1 1980 & Dec 31 1989.

This includes any and all films that were released, irrespective of genre or origin.

So it doesn't matter if it was Hollywood, Bollywood, UK or anywhere else in the world. So long as it was released throughout the 1980's.

Cinematically speaking, this was a decade that we are still feeling the effects of today.

So, as always this first week will be all about nominating your favourite films of any genre that fit the criteria.

Then once the nominations have been compiled, people will then be invited to vote/submit rankings based on all the films that have been nominated.

Nominations close
Sunday 5pm @ 20 March.

The window for Rankings then will open when the compiled Nominations have been posted.

Everyone can then vote/rank based on the fully compiled list of Nominations, with the deadline being Sunday 27 Match.

To recap:

• Any film, regardless of origin or genre, released during the 1980's.
• 
  
• Nominate as many films as you like that fit the criteria before next Sunday.

As always, this is open to all and everyone is welcome to contribute and have their 2 pence worth.

Will tag the usual suspects and some others as well shortly.​

 

For starters:
Raging Bull
Die Hard
Terminator
Airplane
