A year where a lot of famous movie franchises, characters or classic films, seemed to be brought back towards the big screen, and where Harry Challahan returns to action, in the very fast forward, but also surprisingly dark themed release, in Sudden Impact.

Also, this year we not only get one, but two James Bond films (with possibly the two greatest 007 actors), where Roger Moore starred in Octopussy, and Sean Connery returned in the rather somewhat disappointing Never Say Never Again.
Still, it must have been quite a thrill for the die hard fans, to see both these legends on the screen, during the same year.

Also, where Friday the 13th Part 3, had seemingly succeeded in bringing through (not really sure if that was actually the first of the bunch) the popular 3-D style, and where at year later on, films like Jaws 3 and Amityville 3 would try to capitalize onto that similar theme.

Speaking of well known movie characters, making a return into the early 80s. Norman Bates still provided the goods and more, with the well made and very underrated Psycho II sequel, which I think is one of the better horror-thrillers of that era.

David Cronenberg had quite solid year, delivering some truly gruesome and shocking effects, in Videodrome, but also making a very fine and well acted mystery-thriller, where specially Christopher Walken shines very bright. Another fine little thriller, more of a sci-fi/drama really, came also out this year with Brainstorm.

Sadly, he never quite became a leading man, but these films, showcased what a truly talented guy he was back then.

Eddie Murphy backed up the success of 48 Hrs. a year earlier, with the classic Trading Places, that only gets beaten to the top spot by Videodrome and my favorite of that year, the charming, cute and very funny A Christmas Story by Bob Clark.

Funny how memory plays tricks sometimes. I totally remember Scarface as if it played later in the decade('86?). Guess I was wrong.
