1. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ar... (1981)

Probably the greatest action adventure of all time, especially since it spawned three sequels and tons of copycats.

Stehako's rating:

2. The Fox and the Hound (1981)

The damn movie makes me tear every damn time, I don't get it.

3. Stripes (1981)

Murray proved he could lead a film to great success.

Stehako's rating:

6.8

4. Absence of Malice (1981)

An intro that possibly inspired "Lord of War's" and one that most definitely inspired the entire "Nothing But the Truth". Newman is brilliant, as usual.

Stehako's rating:

7.4

5. Reds (1981)

Beatty, Nicholson, Keaton, communism.

I don't understand the attraction of Liza, but Moore is an awesome drunk.
