	Encyclopedia: 1981 in film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Film refers to the celluloid media on which movies are printed.
		The 1981 film Tarzan, the Ape Man was a disappointment.
		The producers of the film were actually sued by the Edgar Rice Burroughs Estate over the name of the film, since it focussed more on how many ways to disrobe Jane (Derek's role), than on Tarzan himself.

	Body and Soul (1981 theatrical film)
		The basic idea was to update an eponymous 1947 boxing movie with John Garfield, a little-seen film which seems to be regarded positively (8.2 at IMDb).
		There are two versions of the film on the disc: a 4:3 full frame version and a 16x9 widescreen anamorphic version.
		Although it opened on Friday, November 20, 1981 in New York, and was reviewed in the Times in that Sunday's edition, it is not listed on this list of 1981 releases.

	1981: The Last Laugh
		When the Film Commission agreed, in March 1979, to assist with the funding of Goodbye Pork Pie, the film was described as New Zealand’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
		The completed film does contain elements of Butch Cassidy – a chase story, two heroes, and a showdown with the authorities – but stronger than any Hollywood overtones is the sense that this is first and foremost a New Zealand film.
		The filming of Goodbye Pork Pie was completed in 1980, and after screening at Cannes, the film was released in New Zealand on 6 February, 1981.

	VENICE FILM FESTIVAL - 1981 - BY HARLAN KENNEDY
		Bleierne Zeit (The German Sisters) is a tight-faced fable of anarchy and sisterhood in which two siblings who grew up as children on opposite sides of a temperamental gulf switch roles in adulthood so that the shy one becomes a terrorist, the lively one a bewildered mother and bystander.
		It's a single-minded film made with antennae fully stretched to catch the political anxieties of modern Germany: the phantom of a phoenix-Fascism arising from the Aryan ashes, the desperate weaponry of anarchist Terror used to combat it, the bewilderment of those caught in the crossfire.
		Francisca is an overwhelming conspiracy of colors and textures, filmed in Valasquez velvets and marooning its characters in a thrilling half-world between autonomy and artifice, life and portraiture.

	HistoryLink Essay: Bellevue Film Festival, 1967-1981
		Independent film-makers who shoot their films in somewhat the same spirit as the early pioneers of the industry, are able to adopt the spontaneous, personal approach which is becoming increasingly rare in an industry saddled with monstrous costs.
		It begins to seem likely that the film history of the present is being written, not on the sound stages of Hollywood, but in the garages and lofts of the shoestring artists who borrow equipment, use outdated film, and turn their friends into performers .
		The Bellevue Film Festival was key to introducing a new generation of Northwest filmmakers to the world of experimental film.

	Possession / 1981 / film review / Andrzej Zulawski / Isabelle Adjani
		The film has certainly lost some of the impact which won it instant notoriety on its initial release in 1981 but it remains a palpably bizarre and unsettling cinematic experience, alternating between the patently ridiculous and the down-right disturbing.
		It is certainly not a film which will appeal to the majority of cinema-goers and it should probably not be watched as a serious piece of drama.
		The one area where the film genuinely does impress is in the quality of the special effects — although the multi-tentacled monster appears only briefly on screen, it is certainly on a par with anything produced by the best science-fiction films.

	MusicSearcher.com: John Barry \| Body Heat (1998 Re-recording of 1981 Film)
		The producers of the Varese Sarabande Film Classics series should be thanked for giving us a fine recording of John Barry's score for the film "Body Heat," one of the sexiest ever written.
		This is certainly a case where the film itself and the score are equal partners in conveying that emotion.

	[CAP] CHARIOTS OF FIRE (1981), PG -- ... this 1981 PG film. Brief but full rear male nudity plus ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This 128 minute sports film is less about fanfare and adrenaline than about human nature and character building with the winning of the 1924 Olympics almost as an after-thought or an unavoidable necessity.
		This "based on a true story" film is one of the those which earns the title a work of art if for no other reason it is not as saturated with sin to make its statement as are most modern films.
		This film is most certainly not ashamed to give reverence and factual credit to the Father in Heaven and His Son.

		But maybe, just maybe, he'll defy the evil gamblers and fight the big fight to win, thus saving his soul and winning his fickle girlfriend back yet again, even though the gamblers and promoters will kill him if he does so.
		I really wanted to like this film, and forgave it a lot of mistakes, but this crazy ending was the last straw.
		Films under five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film, equivalent to about one and a half stars from the critics or less, depending on just how far below five the rating is.

	Film Review: Gallipoli (1981)
		Gallipoli is one of my favorite Aussie films (though I often get it confused with The Lighthorse Brigade, as I think I saw them at about the same time when I was young).
		Even though I am the complete couch patatoe when watching films, getting my enjoyment from the least amount of mental effort possible, I like movies that have more in them, as I find that they are generally better thought out and of a higher quality, and so I like these aspects explored in a review.
		This is indeed a devastating film, and one which caused me to follow a young Peter Weir's directorial career from that point.

		After filming, they blew out the stage door, and could be found in the corners in the streets at MGM studios for almost a year.
		The biggest hurdle the film could not overcome (then) was the casting of comedy stars in Art Deco darkness.

		With the average film score running at anywhere between 40 - 45 min., for a film screentime of 1 hr.
		The Raiders March is synonymous with thrill-a-minute action, and one cannot imagine Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones without that trademark snapbrim fedora on his head nor that brassy and bold march in the background.
		Previously available only on LP and cassettes when it was first released in 1981, the original soundtrack contained roughly half the cues in the Nick Redman-produced 1995 single CD recording.

	Diva / 1981 / film review / Jean-Jacques,Beineix
		The contrast between the grace and beauty of the opera music and Cosma’s disturbing modern accompaniment brilliantly underscores the contrast of the two worlds between which the postboy Jules is caught - that of a beautiful opera singer and the murderous thugs.
		Whilst Diva is undoubtedly a great film, it is marred slightly by its convulted plot, which involves more story strands than the film is capable of sustaining.
		The film works because, despite this, it is so brilliantly assembled.

	Ragtime (1981 Film Soundtrack)
		I guess it's almost ahead of it's time a little, considering this was the time period that gave us films like The Blues Brothers and other such early SNL comedies which didn't require scores like Ragtime needed.
		Newman's first film score job was the 1971 movie "Cold Turkey" (the one with Dick Van Dyke trying to get everyone in town to stop smoking).
		Either way, "Ragtime" stands up today as a great film score or as great music to listen to all by itself (many say that the score is better than the movie).

	Film Review: Gallipoli (1981)
		Acclaimed as one of Australia's finest cinematic achievements, Peter Weir's Gallipoli is an extraordinarily moving anti-war film that, while shot at an epic proportion, is a personal, endearing portrait of two young Australians.
		Not essentially a "war film," it is a film about war.
		Over time, though, as social barriers are broken down, and the urgency of the situation escalates, the gap between the two closes.
