Thanks for playing homos.

 

[Bloopy]

Wait, King of Comedy is 1983? I had it as 82.

Weird that apparently only Iceland got a release in '82. The film industry counts that as an '82 film but we're free to put it either way for these polls.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Okay so now i have to see The Dead Zone and Videodrome

 

[challenge_everything]

Stephen King and David Cronenberg win 1983.

 

[CiG]

3 Stephen King films made the final list.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i don't even like the dead zone that much tbh, videodrome fucking smokes though.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Two Cronenberg's in the top 3. This place is alright sometimes.

 

[challenge_everything]

Only here would The Dead Zone beat out Return of the Jedi in a poll.

 

[CiG]

Is that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing? I personally think Return of the Jedi basically stinks.

 

[challenge_everything]

No judgment either way, just amusing. The Dead Zone is a pretty random movie to overcome the universal popularity of ROTJ. It's not exactly high cult or anything, even for a Cronenberg fan.

 

[CiG]

If this list reflected popular opinion, Return of the Jedi would probably have beaten everything and got the #1 spot.

ROTJ is kind of bad once you're past the age of 15
