This was an interesting year when it comes to movies, for me anyway. For Christmas 1983, the family got our first VCR. Movie watching would never be the same again. My top ten favorites of that year:

1. The Terminator
2. Blood Simple
3. Beverly Hills Cop
4. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
5. Ghostbusters
6. Broadway Danny Rose
7. Body Double
8. A Nightmare on Elm Street
9. Romancing The Stone
10. All Of Me

I really liked Amadeus back in the day but I recently watch the extended cut Blu-ray and thought it was just okay. I suspect the theatrical cut is much better. Anyway, an honorable mention..I always got a kick out of The Woman In Red..

Guilty pleasures-Runaway, Star Trek III and Conan The Destroyer.

Films I remember seeing in the theatre: (Still didn't have a car, so many times I had to "con" my way to the theatre!)

All of Me
Beverly Hills Cop
Ghostbusters
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
City Heat
Romancing The Stone
Runaway
Star Trek III
Tightrope

The year's biggest disappointment: The teaming of Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood in City Heat.

How funny you should say that as my family got our first VCR in 1983 and i got my own in 85.

Yes City heat was disappointing to me too and my other disappointments from that year were Dune, Exterminator 2, Rocktober Blood, Sheena (at least Tanya Roberts was hot in it) and Supergirl (At least Helen Slater was hot).

I wasn't conceived sadly until '86 lol, but I love the 80's for it's music (most of it) and now classic movies that came from that era.
