Since I won't be watching any movies this weekend (going to Oktoberfest in La Crosse, WI), I've decided to experiment a little with my content. Last night, in a conversation with Allyn, I jokingly referred to myself as the "blog whip." So I thought it may be nice, since I won't be able to post anything else this weekend, to see if I could generate a little discussion among our various blog members, and not just the active ones. So I really want everyone to try to participate, as well as any non-blog members who are out there lurking on this page. I'm going to ask a question, and in comments, I want anyone who wants to participate to respond to the question with ONE comment (thus your response has a max of 2500 words, I believe) when they answer the question; however, feel free to comment upon each other's intial paragraph (and defend your opinion, if necessary). If this suceeds, I may make it a regular feature every Friday (I've got to do something at work).
OK, here goes. Today's question is inspired by the final paragraph of the editorial of the September 2002 issue of
Sight & Sound. The relevant part of the paragraph reads:
What our polls show us is that, while the film canon has solidified into general agreement, there's little consensus on what constitutes significant cinema after 1980.
So my question to you guys is:
If you could choose one film that is a representative of "significant cinema" of the 1980s, what film would that be? Why? This is a rather open ended question, so select one film, and write about it from any perspective you wish. I hope this experiement works.
