Which recent 80s throwback movie did you like better? Both easily among my favorites so far this year

I have Sing Street as my #2 and Everybody Wants Some!! as my #4 of the year so far, so I am in the same boat as you in terms of loving both quite a bit. But as the ranking say, I have to go with SING STREET.

Granted I haven't seen as much 2016 as you but I think EWS and Sing Street are probably my #1 and #3 respectively for 2016 so far.

Usually I'm not the kind of movie watcher that goes so all in on the nostalgia, but I suppose when it is done well you don't have a choice.

Stranger Things! (Just kidding. I haven't watched it yet.)

I rated both these movies a B, but I'll probably watch Sing Street again first.

Nice poll.

Nothing about Sing Street appeals to me (based on several viewings of the trailer), so I haven't seen it. (I was in my 20s during the '80s, so the kids are too young for me to relate to; also I don't like much of what passes for "'80s Music.")

I would argue that Everybody Wants Some!!! has one big foot in the '70s (it takes place in 1980, right?): everything about it seemed '70sish to me. Also, unlike Sing Street, the kids in Want Some!!! were my peers (other than their being gorgeous and athletic); that one really resonated with me.

Anyway, since I've only seen one of the films, I'm not going to vote. But I'll be damned if I let an opportunity to pump up my post count go by, especially after losing a bunch in the recent deletions. OH THE HUMANITY.

Sing Street is my #1 of the year and I want to punch Everybody Wants Some! in the face. Easiest poll ever.

I haven't seen Sing Street yet, but I can agree with half of that sentence anyway.

Weirdly appropriate poll as these are closely linked in my mind. I watched them about one week apart and both made me smile like a maniac. I rated both 8/10 but as of now, Everybody Wants Some is right above Sing Street in my list of the year's best.

Sing Street is my #1 of the year and I want to punch Everybody Wants Some! in the face. Easiest poll ever.

Have you written about EWS somewhere ?
