TPSG Top 10 Movies of 1980

Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.

Top 10 Movies of 1980:
  1. Airplane! - Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty
  2. Caddyshack - Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield
  3. Raging Bull - Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci
  4. The Empire Strikes Back - Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford
  5. The Shining - Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall
  6. The Blues Brothers - John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd
  7. Stir Crazy - Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder
  8. Dressed To Kill - Michael Caine, Nancy Allen
  9. Ordinary People - Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore
  10. Coal Miner's Daughter - Sissy Spacek, Tommy Lee Jones
"Airplane!" is one of my all time favorite comedies.  Chevy Chase, Bill Murray & Rodney Dangerfield are all hilarious in "Caddyshack".  "Raging Bull" is one of Robert De Niro's finest films, and that's saying a lot,  "The Empire Strikes Back" has to be on this list, no explanation needed.  Jack Nicholson is unforgettable in "The Shining".  It doesn't get much better than Belushi & Ackroyd in the "Blues Brothers".  "Stir Crazy" is highly under appreciated, it's a lot of fun.  "Dressed to Kill" is classic Brian DePalma, I loved it.  "Ordinary People" is a heartwrenching film about the strains tragedy can have on a family. Sissy Spacek is spot on as Loretta Lynn in "Coal Miner's Daughter".
