I don't see any...AARGH!!! *> Of the movies I have seen since January 1, 1980, I would say that the best is "The Natural." I don't know about the rest of you, but I saw the movie three times and saw no flaws in it. At all. Running a micron close is "The Big Chill" and then "Ordinary People." In fourth place I would have to put "The World According to Garp." Fifth, I am almost forced to say "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." The worst films of the 1980's? Without a doubt, the Friday-the-13th clones. Teenage slash-'em-up movies are no fun. They all tie for first as the worst movies. In another ultra-close second place is "Survivor," a really bad one that I wouldn't tell anyone to see. Third, and I say this with a churning stomach, had to be the break-dancing movies like "Beat Street," although I didn't see "Breakin'," and can't really say. Fourth in this category is "Flashdance," which literally put me to sleep. Fifth place goes to none other than "Private School," which left me with the strong desire to barf on the television (I saw it on THE Movie Channel). Those are my opinions. Any arguments should be mailed to me below. And keep the flames low, guys. It get's really hot in the desert. T.A. McInvale -- Tracy A.
