  1. these are cool! Definitely love The Hunter and cool to see Bond get a few noms, (ngl I'd have nominated Barbara Carrera for her role in Never Say Never Again in sup actress). I'd also probs have nommed Bowie for his role in The Hunger in sup actor too. Interesting not seeing any Fanny and Alexander anywhere tho.

    1. “Fanny & Alexander” has a 1982 IMDb release, which is when it was released theatrically in Sweden.

    2. Thanks! I'm behind on this year, but I'm glad you like them. Yeah, I've got Fanny & Alexander in 1982.

  2. For your 1982 ballot, one of my favourite movies is “Liquid Sky” (which swept my 1983 ballot since that’s when it received its wide release). I also recommend Fassbinder’s “Querelle” and “Beronika Voss”, the experimental film “Koyaansqatsi”, and the Danny Elfman musical “The Forbidden Zone”.

    1. I just posted 1982, but I'll add them to my watchlist for that year. I've seen Koyaansqatsi, though.
