Jesus, The Never Ending Story is on that list.
And it's an amazing fricking movie, don't you ever forget it!!
i keep hearing good things about this one, need to check it. i had wondered if this one should be eligible for the 80s bracket
I would have nominated it, but for some reason I thought it was already on the list.

Either way, I think you'd find it interesting at the very least. Just looking at it from a director's perspective, the same man responsible for the claustrophobic thriller Das Boot was the director of The NeverEnding Story.
