Apocalypse Now (1979)
90%
“A film which uses all the resources of sound and image to assault its audience into an unbearably mixed state of horror and wonder, leaving one thoroughly shaken at the end by the sheer insanity of the work itself.” –

Alien (1979)
93%
“Alien is pure and basic horror stuff, exploiting with ruthless simplicity the nightmarish idea of an unreachable, invulnerable and utterly hostile non-human force. ” –

9 to 5 (1980)
69%
“This one is hardcore, commercial madcap comedy with a slick style, a laugh-a-minute pace, and a very strong trace of television in the forms of its humor. ” –

Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
90%
“Kramer vs. Kramer is a magnificent piece of work, a film which seems practically flawless at every level of its execution. Above all, it owes much of its emotional impact to the matchless art of the director or photography, Néstor Almendros.” –

Raging Bull (1980)
92%
“Scorsese's direction of the Paul Schrader-Mardik Martin screenplay gives something rare in American cinema: a lucid involvement with a central character with whom it is absolutely impossible to identify.” –

Ordinary People (1980)
89%
“It's a powerful beginning for a new director, and its sobriety and stern avoidance of sensationalism put it well beyond the range of the average family film.” –

Gloria (1980)
91%
“It's full of odd, jarring moments where everything seems slightly offkey. But it's still a powerful, exhilarating piece of work which whirls through its changes from humour to violence so skilfully that it seems to be all over much too soon.” –

Coal Miner's Daughter (1980)
84%
“The overall effect of the film is cloying and unsatisfactory. It paints a chocolate-box picture of poverty and struggle, in which it only takes talent and will-power to pass from a loving shanty to a lovely mansion. ” –

Hair (1979)
83%
“Forman's film is much more than a curiosity showing that extravagant risks can pay off. It is, first and foremost, a great screen musical comedy.” –
