Annie is pretty good. I prefer the 1999 version, for various reasons (it's the version I grew up with, it's more like the stage play, the girl playing Annie is a better actress, the singing is better), but 1982 one is also a very enjoyable movie. I love how they changed the ending so that Annie actually gets kidnapped (in the play and 1999 versions, the kidnappers are caught before they leave with Annie). It was a nice surprise for people who were familier with the play. And of course Carol Burnett is great as Miss Hannigan.
I also enjoyed the recent updated version of Annie. It's very different, but I thought it was pretty good. And that's coming from someone whose favorite musical has been Annie since he was eight years old. It certainly doesn't deserve the hate that a lot of people have been giving it.

Awesome year for films. No-one has mentioned PORKY'S. Although copyrighted for 81', it wasn't officially released until 82' in the US and Canada and then the rest of the world. Porky's was ok but Fast Times was better. And what are your top movies of that awesome year for films? |

Both Porky's and Fast Times were trash.

Both Porky's and Fast Times were trash. Nah. Without Fast Times Jennifer Jason Leigh would not have her first major role and thus my current profile pic, Courtney Thorne-Smith in case I change it..HA! It's my permanent one!!-wouldn't be on TV in the TV brief 1986 remake. |

Porky's was ok but Fast Times was better. And what are your top movies of that awesome year for films? I like both, but for some reason I usually steer towards Porky's. I think I prefer the raunchiness of it and the characters.
My top film for the year would be: TOOTSIE.
Most posters on here have listed all the cool ones, but I might add FRANCES to the mix and even BASKET CASE and AMYTIVILLE II THE POSSESION, being the horror fan that I am.
Basket Case is underrated and quite original |
