The Return of the Jedi and Vacation are two of my favorite movies from 1983.

Octopussy was one of the WORST James Bond movies ever created! A freaking abomination (Ian Fleming was spinning in his grave when this crap was released).

Valley Girl wins for my favorite soundtrack in 1983; a lot of great music.

I chose National Lampoon's Vacation, which I just re-watched last week or so.

Superman III was a big disappointment following the first 2 Christopher Reeve films in the series.

As a Teri Garr fan, I was tempted to select Mr. Mom. One of the few films that year that I saw in a theater upon first release. Going on 40 years ago

WarGames is in my top 10 of the 1980s. I used to watch it all the time on cable. It's one of those movies I can never turn off. I like Return of the Jedi, National Lampoon's Vacation, Mr. Mom and A Christmas Story also.

I would include Bad Boys and Cujo in the Other category. I'm probably one of the few people who enjoyed Jaws 3-D. It's not Jaws or Jaws 2, but it's not that terrible. I like the SeaWorld setting.

Return Of The Jedi, followed very closely by Local Hero or The Right Stuff

Others from the list I love- Wargames, Mr Mom, The Big Chill, Vacation, A Christmas Story, Risky Business, Trading Places, Valley Girl, Zelig, The Dead Zone, Christine

Krull and Spacehunter are good cheesy fun. I can remember playing the Krull arcade game back in the day.

Films not on the list that I love from that year: Videodrome, Suburbia, The Hunger, Cujo, Fire & Ice, Sleepaway Camp, The Man With Two Brains, The Meaning Of Life, Strange Brew, Psycho II, Angst, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Eddie And The Cruisers, Testament, Eyes Of Fire, Project A, Never Cry Wolf, House Of The Long Shadows, Rock & Rule, Of Unknown Origin, Strange Invaders, Twice Upon A Time, House On Sorority Row.
