HCH Academy Awards - Best Picture 1981?

Not much of a competition this year.

The best fantasy/action/adventure series ever, even with the Chrystal Skull debacle. It kills Star Wars and the LOTR flicks according to chuck, and Raiders was the best one.

Flawless from first frame to last. From editing to soundtrack. Cinematography to script. In my top 10 all time list.

It truly is. I doubt another film had as significant of an impact on young Yella Piss.

I had the map room toy set for crying out loud.

@YellowSnow I feel like this is the first year where you and I agreed on a movie

Savor it.

I acknowledge the superiority of Raiders but Stripes was in that sweet spot for great National Lampoon / SNL comedies.

It's that rare perfect movie which appeals to a sci fi / make believe guy like you and a history noyd like me, even though it's completely implausible that the Nazis would have been allowed to dig for treasure in Egypt in 1936. Their military was still shit in that year.

I've never watched Stripe. Pretty embarrassed to admit this.

I waffled all over the place because Raiders is fantastic, but Stripes and Excalibur are also long time faves.

It is 40 years old now. Amazing to write that

Well, I was one, so I'm guessing The Fox and the Hound?

Stripes was a favorite of one of my dads, so I watched it a lot when I was a kid. Great movie.

Missing from the list are History of the World Part I, Evil Dead, Thief, and Heavy Metal.

 

[Swaye]

Of course Raiders is the best, but I had to pick Road Warrior for obvious reasons.

 

[Mad_Son]

Holy shit what a year

Excalibur is the reason I bought my first DVD player in 1999

Porky's

The Hound aka Kim Cattrall

Porky's

The Hound aka Kim Cattrall

Quite easily

 

[chuck]

I think Kim Cattrall's character was named Lassie.
