	The Blue Lagoon (1980 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This led some to play on the film's title, inferring the "Blue" described the content, "blue" being a common euphemism for pornographic films, although the scenes in question were tame, even by 1980 standards.
		This film was followed eleven years later by the 1991 sequel Return to the Blue Lagoon, also produced and directed by Randal Kleiser.
		This film is a remake of the 1949 classic The Blue Lagoon, starring Jean Simmons and Donald Houston.

		This film discusses Indiana University, with the theme that the university is not isolated; rather, it is deeply involved in the community and world.

		The new films also had a prehardened emulsion (introduced also with E-6 Ektachomes) that made the used of a hardening bath unnecessary; this bath caused a yellow stain in the highlights that may be what you fondly remember about the K-12 Kodachromes.
		The film is marked as "for professionals", it states on the box "keep cool, process promptly" (I've actually never seen transparent film sold w/o this indication) and the store where I buy my film keeps it in the refrigerator.
		Man this film blew me away when I push it to 1000 I shot it to 1000 and pushed to 1000 this film kicks ass I think atleast a photographer should carry one or two of these films.

	Atlantic City / 1980 / film review / Louis Malle / Burt Lancaster
		Certainly, the film is one of Malle’s most restrained works, showing little of the atmosphere or inspiration of his previous French language films.
		Film enthusiasts will easily spot the references to class film noir - after all, Louis Malle was, like his French New Wave contemporaries François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, greatly influenced by the American B movies of the 1940s.
		It was to be Louis Malle’s most successful film (grossing around 10 million dollars) and was a huge success in the United States.

		It was invisible on the screen, but when excited by long-wave ultraviolet light in a readout stage that retrofits into the magnetic track penthouse position on the projector, the surface of the film emits bright blue visable light, with that image scanned, corrected and reproduced as six channels of analog signal without distortion or noise.

	Amazon.com: The Shining (1980) : Video
		When it was redone as a TV miniseries (reportedly because of King's dissatisfaction with the Kubrick film), the famous topiary-animal attack (which was deemed impossible to film in 1980) was there--but the deeper horror was lost.
		Horror films often tend to divide audiences into genre fans who follow the gore and those who laugh in the face of so-called scares, insisting their own resiliancy to cheap thrills and lamebrain plotting.
		Stanley Kubrick made this film in the 4:3 aspect ratio and it is presented on the DVD as he designed it to be.

		The other films in the series are Halloween, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, Halloween: Resurrection.
		Angie Dickenson looks great in the shower (the best scene in the film) and Allen is as diverting to the audience as she is to the psychologist when she strips.
		Like most of the killings in the film, extreme close-ups are used so that there doesn't have to be a person in the shot.

	The Island (1980)
		It is certainly a surprisingly violent film, although here at least Benchley is showing pirate behaviour with a much greater regard to historical realism and the real brutality with which it was conducted than any sanitised traditional Hollywood swashbuckler.
		But outside of these occasionally inventive ideas, this is a film that is not really trying to be anything more an action thriller.
		Benchley seems to want to make it into a primal rights of manhood film along the lines of Deliverance (1972).

	VH1.com : Movies : Movie : The Elephant Man : Review
		But whereas the film was graphically realistic in its use of makeup, the TV version follows the precedent set by Pomerance's play: John Merrick's deformity is conveyed purely through the vocal and physical contortions of actor Philip Anglim, repeating his Broadway role.
		This TV adaptation of Bernard Pomerance's play The Elephant Man differs radically from the 1980 theatrical film of the same name.
		Though he remained trapped in his misshapen body, Merrick was intellectually and emotionally liberated by London physician Frederick Treves, whose sensitive treatment of the "Elephant Man" unlocked the soul beneath his horrific appearance.

	The Fog Special Edition 1980 DVD film movie trailer review at The Z Review
		Original 1980 documentary: "Fear on Film: Inside The Fog"
		Unbelievably, this twenty year-old + film puts a lot of modern "Special Editions" to shame, the picture is 16:9 enhanced (forget the instantly redundant pan and scan version!), the sound is remixed from its original mono to 5.1 and the features are truly splendid.
		The script is tight with any plot exposition handled faultlessly and, as in Halloween, the audience get to know the characters a little first before the fog rolls in and all hell breaks loose in Antonio Bay.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Airplane! (1980)
		Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker took over-the-top whacko madcap screwball comedy to new extremes with this parody of the series of Airport films of the 1970s.
		There's enough gags here to fill a much longer film than this one, so even if not all of them work, you still won't stop laughing.

	Van Halen Links.com - 1980 Tour Film
		But if the WACF thing was actually captured on film and not video, then I have high hopes for the quality.
		There will finally be an officially released version of the professionally filmed show they did at Donnington in '79, some stuff from '69 (their best, tightest and most stellar period IMHO - check out the BBC Radio version of Immigrant Song for example).
		It is rumored that they are such perfectionists that they wouldn't allow any film to be released that would make them look less than perfect.

		Blue Oyster Cult was in the middle of its creative and commercial peak in 1980.
		Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult were two of the biggest hard-rock titans of the 1970s, and an ingenious idea was conceived to have them join forces on a co-headlining tour.

	Film in American Popular Culture
		Though the focus of the 1980 version revolves around Jess' immigrant past, the inclusion of other immigrant pasts in both the song “ America ” and within the framework of shots in the film expands the scope of the narrative.
		And, as David Kehr asserts, the film is a narrative of identity conflict and resolution, and this resolution is multicultural in scope.
		To dismiss this particular film version as merely “bad” does not address the significance of this film as a part of a specific cultural immigrant imaginary that is informed by the discourse of the ethnic revival of the late 1960s and 1970s.

	The Shining (1980)
		The Shining (1980) is creative director Stanley Kubrick's intense, epic, gothic horror film and haunted house masterpiece - a beautiful, stylish work that distanced itself from the blood-letting and gore of most modern films in the horror genre.
		As in many of his films, director Kubrick explores the dimensions of the genre to create the ultimate horror film of a man going mad, aspiring writer Jack Torrance (Nicholson), while serving as an off-season caretaker of an isolated, snowbound resort (the Overlook) with his family: wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd).
		The interiors of the hotel were all created from scratch inside of an English film studio and do not actually exist.

		Escape for a long weekend to Mackinac Island, where the taxis are horse-drawn carriages, the geraniums bloom by the thousand, and the views from the Grand Hotel are the stuff of movies.

	BMN Review: Island, The (1980)
		The opening scenes of "The Island" have a group of grungy buccaneers slaughtering helpless fishers and vacationers, stealing their children, and sinking the boats.
		So, of course, he decides to take his son fishing in the same accursed area, stupidly risking their lives for the sake of a hot scoop.
		In the patchy repertoire of Michael Caine movies, "The Island" is a pretty lame but inconsequential blip.

		Yes, that's right, this rich cross-section of films seems to say that life does indeed suck -- people are routinely venal and cruel, fascism abounds, and usually nobody's getting any, either.

	Kinoeye French film: Claire Denis' Beau travail (1999)
		By and large, the film's sensual focus is fixed upon the male body—its movements, gestures, routine habits, rough training exercises, communal ceremonies and communion with the earth and the sea.
		The films of Claire Denis are often described as sensual, even surreal, in their lack of conformity to narrative and cognitive structures of classical cinema.
		The difficulty for the viewer, however, doesn't lie in coping with a distanciating/alienating agenda that the film may have deliberately assumed, as might be the case in many a modernist or avant-garde film.
