GMD Social Poll: Top Ten Films of 1987

[CiG]

RYM film chart

Deadline is JANUARY 29th. If you need an extension just say so and it will absolutely be considered. This is usually just a soft deadline to make sure everybody doesn't become complacent.

REMEMBER for those of you who haven't seen many films from this year or in general, you can always submit lists as small as only having 5 submissions.

Rules:

- Please submit at least 5 films.
- First place in your rankings gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, etcetc, 10th gets 1.
- Feel free to post more than 10, but only the top 10 will get points.
- Feel free to post less than 10, the same scoring will apply.
- Feel free not to rank your picks, in which case all ten picks will get 5.5 points.
- If you're so much of a dick that you have to post more than 10 unranked picks, the maths will be worked out.

I went through all 12 pages on the link to make sure I looked at all these movies because there are so many I saw. The list misses some stuff that actually aired on TV not in the theater and some films I might've included but only liked parts of the movie. I also factored in those movies I like to watch repeatedly to come up with my list of 10 movies.

1. Lethal Weapon
2. Dirty Dancing
3. Baby Boom
4. The Running Man
5. Summer School
6. La Bamba
7. Good Morning Vietnam
8. Flowers In The Attic
9. Some Kind Of Wonderful
10. Hiding Out

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

1. The Lost Boys
2. Evil Dead 2
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
4. 3 Men and a Baby
5. Jaws: The Revenge
6. The Untouchables
7. Lethal Weapon
8. The Stepfather
9. The Princess Bride
10. Hellraiser

 

[no country for old wainds]

only 2 out of 6 lists so far have mentioned robocop and this offends me

 

[Slammed]

You should start a support group to help you through this hard time

 

[Bloopy]

I should watch RoboCop, but if I see it and end up not listing it then that might be even more offensive than the fact I haven't seen it.

 

[CiG]

only 2 out of 6 lists so far have mentioned robocop and this offends me

Honestly pretty surprising.

I saw it. Liked it. But since I don't think I've bothered to watch it beyond it's original release period I didn't feel I could legitimately include it.

 

[CiG]

9. Near Dark
10. The Untouchables

Awesome year.

Decided not to include Alan Clarke's short/TV film Road in my list but if I did it would be somewhere among the top 6. Definitely the best of all the short films he did for my money and it's actually up on Youtube in decent enough quality for anybody interested:
