Yeah, but that's with a qualification. Several years ago, when I first made lists of all the movies I'd seen, 1981 had by far the fewest films of any year on the list (I think it was 2 movies). So, to try to balance that, I've watched a comparatively large number of films that were supposed to be good from 1981 just because of the year they were released.Quoting Derek (view post)

I'm surprised to be the only person listing Thief, outside of a performance nod for Caan. Has it not been seen by many, or is simply not very well liked?

I considered listing it, but it's been a while since I've seen it and I'm unsure how strongly I'd feel about it now.Quoting Rowland (view post)

Me too. The only thing I remember is the infamous Robert Prosky monologue.Quoting B-side (view post)
btw, B-Side/elixir, you should watch Modern Romance again. I thought it was OK upon first viewing a few years ago, but a recent rewatch confirmed its brilliance.
Along with Sarah Marshall/Eternal Sunshine, it forms the sad-sack dumpee trifecta for the ages.Quoting Boner M (view post)

Sarah Marshall's pretty mediocre, too. Eternal Sunshine is still great, though.
