I've never bought into that dodgy-sounding 1982 Iceland date for The King of Comedy, so I don't include it in my top ten for this year - it would be no. 5 if I did so. Voted for it on the poll, though. My top ten - Fanny & Alexander
- Blade Runner
- E.T.
- Missing
- Moonlighting
- The Night of the Shooting Stars
- The Thing
- Fast Times at Ridgemont High
- The Return of Martin Guerre
- P'Tang Yang Kipperbang

I try to include any film that got a general release somewhere in the world that year. As Iceland release doesn’t say it was a festival, i stand by its inclusion 🤣 |

Missing, Snowy River, and Poltergeist were the easy picks. More risk taking than the usual Hollywood garbage, and it isn't surprising that the geeks here vote for the most formula Hollywood crap like First Blood, Death Wish II, and any Friday 13.
Couldn't come up with 10 best from a pathetic year, but did put in two others. White Dog and Verdict were okay 6/10. Nothing else on the list (that I have seen) can possibly be sanely ranked over 5/10
