Bonus question: What was a better year for movies, 1981 or 1983?

I like 1981 better.

Breathless (Jim McBride)
Star 80 (Bob Fosse)

I added these two as poll options. I was sure Star 80 was in there already, but I guess it didn't survive the final cuts.

Breathless wouldn't be in my top 5, but it might make my HM list.
