I just found an article from Premiere magazine from 1989, and it talks about the "best" movies of the 80's... here they are... do you you agree?

I voted for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.  I used to love that show as a kid.

What if my choice isn't on the list?

Post it here... this is the actual list from that article back in 1989... I guess at the time they thought certain movies were better than others that we can TODAY see as being classics...

The Empire Strikes Back should be on there. So should Raiders, but I guess on Spielberg movie is enough.

Yeah, the list needs Batman and Back to the Future as well... but I guess in November 1989 they didn't see these as classics like we do today... so what's the best (not necessarily your favorite) from the list?

Well seeing as BTTF isnt there I'll pick Do the Right Thing and E.T.

Since Raging Bull is more of a 70's flick in nature (even though that's what I voted), I would say it's a tie between Brazil and Ghostbusters, neither of which are on the list. Bah.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

I might also want to add Das Boot and Raising Arizona. Or even Zelig. Or Heathers.

With what's on the list...either E.T. or Do the Right Thing, probably.
