1983 was a good year for film. the top grossing film was The Return of the Jedi:
The top ten also included Trading Places and Wargames, which I enjoyed at the time but which I'm not too keen to see again.
I've lost count of the number of times I've seen the original Star Wars trilogy, but am pleased to confirm that I have only seen the prequel trilogy once. However I did enjoy The Force Awakens and am looking forward to the spin-off movie later on this year.
Following the success of the Star Wars films the cinema was full of sci-fi films of various quality: from Flash Gordon to Battle Beyond the Stars. However it was not until the success of the Harry Potter films and the two Tolkien trilogies from Peter Jackson that fantasy became a subject for cinema. If a big name film director "discovers" Discworld all I hope is that he/she is able to do it justice: Peter Jackson's vision of Middle Earth ties perfectly in with my imagination, and some of his casting was perfect (Galadriel and Gandalf especially).
