The Doctor Who Years

Just wanted to concur that the first two Omen movies were brilliant!

As for 1980, best Who story was State of Decay, best film of that year, technically speaking was Raging Bull, but Empire Strikes Back was definitely more fun. Also I have quite a soft spot for Gregory's Girl.

The Michael Caine film? I forgot about that. Pretty good one.

Indeed.

American Werewolf in London would be my pic for best film that year too.
The Long Good Friday would be bubbling under, probably.
