Cool list, will you be adding more years to it?

Torgo · 03-23-2018, 06:11 PM

Thanks! I did make separate threads for the previous years of the 80's, maybe should have made one thread for the whole decade. Will do that when I make one for the 70's.

Thanks, AMack! It's never easy making these kinds of lists, because there always ends up being a few I forgot.

Underrated and under-seen.

I didn't. I really debated with that one. Easily in my Top 10 of that decade for horror, and my Top 3 of vampire films.
