Elephant Man, The (1980)

  • Criterion Collection, Lynch, David
  • 1980, David Lynch, USA
  • 4 Comments

This could be Lynch’s most enduring film – an emotionally-resonating and psychologically-rich work about discrimination and compassion based on the true story of a horribly disfigured man.

Raging Bull (1980)

  • Criterion Collection, Scorsese, Martin
  • 1980, Martin Scorsese, USA
  • 13 Comments

One of Scorseseโ€™s greatest accomplishmentsโ€”an astonishing character study of the rise and fall of a world champion middleweight boxer that is also an acting and editing masterclass.

My American Uncle (1980)

  • Resnais, Alain
  • 1980, Alain Resnais, France
  • 1 Comment

An unexpected critical success, Resnaisโ€™ sly, mosaic-like film about behavioural psychology as explored through the personal stories of a trio of interconnecting characters is a masterclass in associative editing, and one of his finest pictures.

Shining, The (1980)

  • Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1980, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 11 Comments

A masterpiece of baroque horror cinema that continues to haunt through tone, technique and characterisation.

Permanent Vacation (1980)

  • Criterion Collection, Jarmusch, Jim
  • 1980, Jim Jarmusch, USA
  • 2 Comments

Jarmuschโ€™s first feature is at best a time capsule of New York City in the late โ€˜70s, and at worst, an aimless and meandering borefest.
