9. Dressed to Kill
10. Jane Austen in Manhattan Mad Max, My Brilliant Career and Tess are all officially from 1979. And the answer that they were released in the USA in 1980 is not valid as you didn't see them in the theater that year. _________________

Re: Top Ten 1980 This are my Favorites, which is not necessarily the same as my list of Best.
Empire Strikes Back
Airplane!
The Shining
Flash Gordon
The Blues Brothers
That's it. Bad year for films. Didn't want to fill the rest of the list with crap that would never be considered "favorite"
