This probably hasn't been uploaded yet. So I'll post it. I agree with their choices. And would also include Metalstorm, Spacehunter, Flashdance, etc.
The Lonely Lady was my pick for The Worst of '83.

Love the bonus ad breaks !! Brian Backer in the Dorito’s commercial was fun to watch. He played Mark in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I loved his date with Jennifer Jason Leigh. So funny. He was real the heart of that film. Truly excellent comedy about high school that wasn’t afraid to show it’s fangs. 🎱

I truly miss the early PBS shows. The show became too homogenized when it into syndication back in '82. Staying Alive! OMG! I snuck into the theater with a friend. Felt like I was ripped off. Wanted to complain and try to be compensated for the pain and suffering but I would have been busted for sneaking in. Lol!

Fun Trivia: Some of the films were making money at the box-office: Return of the Jedi, Vacation, Risky Business and Flashdance. Cult favorites including Jaws 3-D, All the Right Moves, Porky's 2, The Star Chamber, Star 80, Blue Skies Again, Staying Alive and Superman III were doing okay. But several others were stinkers at the box-office and they are: Krull, Smokey and the Bandit 3, The Sting 2, Doctor Detroit, Metalstorm, Spacehunter, The Osterman Weekend, Deal of the Century, Amityville 3-D, Stroker Ace, Trenchcoat and more of which because of production problems and other things were going on the set.

After both movies were bombed badly at the box office, Jackie Gleason needs a big hit in his hands. With a little help from legendary producer Ray Stark at Columbia Pictures under Frank Price, Mario Kassar, Peter Guber, Jon Peters, John Calley, Amy Pascal, Laurie MacDonald and more for bringing Nothing in Common to the big screen. Released in the summer of 1986. Directed by Garry Marshall with Tom Hanks, Eva Marie Saint, Bess Armstrong, Sela Ward and Hector Elizondo. Written by Rick Podell & Mike Preminger, Executive Produced by Alexandra Rose. Co-Produced by Nick Abdo. It was Columbia's sleeper hit of the year. This marked Jackie Gleason's final film role before his death in 1987.

@@curtgottler9961 I see what you're saying and I understand this one, Curt. I'll be very honest with you, okay? It wasn't a big financial success on its release as anybody expects to see but it was a cult classic. But it took years later when Tom Hanks got a great success with "Big" which earned his first Oscar nomination in 1989 while veteran filmmaker Garry Marshall rebounded himself with great success such as "Beaches," "Pretty Woman" et cetera and even legendary indie producer Ray Stark of StudioCanal also rebounded himself with great success including "Steel Magnolias" along with "Harriet the Spy" and one long running TV show was "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" on syndication. Sadly, he died in 2004.

I know a lot of people thought sequels were creatively bankrupt but I'm curious of the 007/Bond Films were in the discussion back then as more proof or as an outlier/exception to the rule? I never got that line of reasoning. A lot of my favorite movies of all time are technically sequels.

@zxbc1 2 жыл бұрын

The sequels that "worked" all spawned off of interesting and sprawling universes, usually backed by rich literary material behind them - and even then, they usually only succeed when it's done by extremely careful and capable filmmakers. The point still stands that for the majority of sequels, they end up being low effort commercial exercises that capitalize on the success of the original purely to make money off of the name. And the complaint for sequels in S&E days ended up becoming prophetic for today's landscape, where it's become standard practice to cash out on any movie that has even the modest success at box office by spawning a sequel. In fact, almost all the fears and concerns by S&E about the state of cinema in their early days ended up materializing in today's cinema.
