1983 (I admit I haven’t seen much from that year)

1. King of Comedy (my favorite Scorsese movie)
2. Silkwood (snubbed for BP-Why?) 
3. Videodrome (typical Cronenberg)
4. The Hunger  
5. Flashdance
6. Trading Places (that was fun)
7. Yentl  (was okay)

I’ve seen Terms of Endearment and The Big Chill, but both were nothing special and I just don’t know why both got a BP nom and the former mentioned even the win. Ugh…

4. The Shawshank Redemption
5. Four Weddings and a Funeral
