The version I have is the director's cut (which is the only available version in Australia). The only major difference is a scene set in WW2.

Agreed.
But 1980-90 was the decade of watching films, for me, anyway - university, then starting a career, discovering VHS.
1970-80 - too young to appreciate the great films of that decade.
1990-2000 - too busy with career, then brought down to earth by the Gene Monster aka Disability Inc.
So, 1980-90 was a precious decade.
Incidentally, GNTLGNT (and what does that mean, please?) we're the same age. .
The 80's had some great films. It also had some terrible ones. Like any decade I suppose.
If i remember a conversation with him correctly it means Gentle Giant. He just took out the vocals....Agreed.

You need to buy a vowel to find out.
Five ... not best, but most watchable by me from that decade:
Terminator.
Aliens.
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Honorable mention: Goonies, American Werewolf in London, E.T.
Obviously, I like the serious, quiet, vérité movies.

...and send me Vanna along the way....
For me, it has the to be the 70s.
The Godfather, Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Jaws, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Dog Day Afternoon, Breaking Away, Carrie, The Sting, French Connection, Star Wars.......it could go on!

hehehe funny! I loved the shirt dance scene in this movie!Risky Business-just take those old records off the shelf!! Okay, Tom..I will
There are people, and they make a good argument, who consider this the best science fiction movie ever.
I'll go with you on Aliens, but we preferred Last Crusade to Temple of Doom.
Blade Runner is probably my favourite film, tbh. Alien comes a close second, and would have appeared instead of, or maybe alongside, Aliens had it been made/released a year later.
IJatLC...yep, I'd have included that, but I thought I'd better stop at ten, considering.
I'd have also included The Terminator, if I'd been thinking.
Charlie Chaplin maybe? Silent film era?...lolSo, the middle ages ?
