Road Warrior i consider it a 1981 movie and it's in my top movies of 1981 because it was released in it's country of Australia and in Japan in December 1981.

Das Boot is a 1981 movie since it was released in Germany in 1981 even a couple of parts in Europe that year of 1981.

I don't think Halloween III should be erased, it's a cult classic that has fans for years and some fans of horror have learn to appreciate it nowadays for it's brave and bold attempt to turn the franchise into an anthology of Halloween themed horror movies. It was a risky movie that was brave to attempt that idea after Michael was "supposedly" killed off in Halloween 2 by Carpenter. It's one of my favorite sequels in the genre as i think it's the best Halloween since the original as it was a bold movie that did something unique and trying to set up an anthology that never happened which is a shame.

Poltergeist- scared the shit outta me as a child. One of the all-time great horror films AND did it with a PG rating.

*obviously woulda been PG-13 if released two years later*.

I do agree that what it tried to do was laudable, but it was still a bad movie with an insufferable song that played too much in the movie. I was hoping they would kill of Michael in Halloween Kills by the townspeople singing that song while worms and bugs crawled out of Michaels mask.
